"Apple Shampoo"

"Apple Shampoo" is a song by American rock band Blink-182, released on October 7, 1997 as the second single from the group's second studio album, Dude Ranch (1997). The song was released as a single in Australia only, through an exclusive license with Mushroom Records imprint label Rapido.

Background

The song regards a failing relationship.[1] The song was inspired by Elyse Rogers of the ska punk band Dance Hall Crashers, whom Blink toured with over 1996.[2] The song's title was inspired by her favorite type of shampoo.[2][1]

Composition

The song is composed in the key of C major and is set in time signature of common time with a fast tempo of 216 beats per minute. Hoppus's vocal range spans from G4 to A5.[3]

Release

"Apple Shampoo" was released as the band set out on the Australian leg of the Warped Tour 1997.[2] The song was an Australian-only single release celebrating the tour and their fanbase in Australia, which had grown considerably since 1995.[4][5] Despite this, the song largely failed to register on the charts.[2]
