"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. The song was inspired by Elyse Rogers of the ska punk band Dance Hall Crashers, whom Blink toured with over 1996. The song's title was inspired by her favorite type of shampoo.

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.

Release

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