Tangerine
Wikipedia
The tangerine (Citrus tangerina) is an orange-colored citrus fruit that is closely related to, or possibly a type of, mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata).
The name was first used for fruit coming from Tangier, Morocco, described as a mandarin variety. Under the Tanaka classification system, Citrus tangerina is considered a separate species. Under the Swingle system, tangerines are considered to be a group of mandarin ( C. reticulata) varieties. While tangerines genetically resemble mandarins, the genetics are still not thoroughly studied. The term is currently applied to any reddish-orange mandarin (and, in some jurisdictions, mandarin-like hybrids, including some tangors), but the term "tangerine" may yet acquire a definite genetic meaning.
Tangerines are smaller and less rounded than common oranges. The taste is considered less sour, as well as sweeter and stronger, than that of an orange. A ripe tangerine is firm to slightly soft, heavy for its size, and pebbly-skinned with no deep grooves, as well as orange in color. The peel is very thin, with very little bitter white mesocarp, which makes them usually easier to peel and to split into segments. All of these traits are shared by mandarins generally.
Peak tangerine season lasts from autumn to spring. Tangerines are most commonly peeled and eaten out of hand. The fresh fruit is also used in salads, desserts and main dishes. The peel is used fresh or dried as a spice or zest for baking and drinks, and eaten coated in chocolate. Fresh tangerine juice and frozen juice concentrate are commonly available in the United States. The number of seeds in each segment (carpel) varies greatly.
Tangerine is an orange color hue used to give the impression of the tangerine fruit. Just as there is a variety of shades of tangerine fruit, there is a variety of color mixes employed to give the impression. Some tangerine hues may more resemble a tangelo fruit, while tangerine-yellow appears close to the color of school bus yellow, although tangerines of that color do not exist in nature.
A tangerine is a red or orange-colored citrus fruit.

"Tangerine" is a song by British rock band Feeder, released as the band's second single, and the first that was taken from the Polythene album. The single managed to gain word-of-mouth success and made #60 on the UK top 75- their first of 25 hit singles to date.
The track today since 2001 has been given a big dislike by frontman Grant Nicholas. Although he was quoted as saying during their May 2008 tour, "we will have to learn it first" when asked to play the song, hinting a return to the live performance of the song in the future. This soon indeed happened when the band played a series of gigs in early 2010 under their Renegades side-project name, before being retired for good after their April 2010 gig at the Camden Electric Ballroom. It featured on the original Gran Turismo game as an instrumental. Grant once said that the song is about the struggles the band experienced while trying to get a record contract.
