Yeah, I Play The Carrot Flute.
Before you start in on calling the innuendo, the Carrot Flute is a viable instrument. Just ask the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra (VVO). For the last 10 years they have been crafting instruments out of vegetables and performing live in concert with their unique cultivated apparatuses. Some of it sounds like a blaring, dissonant foghorn chorus, but the percussive portion leads me to believe that Bjork will be calling upon the VVO to work on her next record:
"Using carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators, cucumberophones and celery bongos, the orchestra creates its own extraordinary and vegetabile sound universe. The ensemble overcomes preserved and marinated sound conceptions or tirelessly re-stewed listening habits, putting its focus on expanding the variety of vegetable instruments, developing novel musical ideas and exploring fresh vegetable sound gardens."
