Hang On Little Tomato is the second full-length album from the band Pink Martini. Seven years after their debut album, it was released on October 19, 2004 by Pink Martini's own record label, Heinz Records. It has sold over 550,000 copies, reached #1 on Amazon.com, and gone gold in France, Canada, Greece, and Turkey. It was then certified double platinum in France by the UPFI in 2013.
As a change from their first album, Pink Martini's second album Hang On Little Tomato features mostly original songs written by band members, and sung in seven different languages (French, Italian, Japanese, Croatian, Spanish, Greek and English).
The song title is a reference to the Hunt's Ketchup ad campaign "Hang On, Little Tomato!" in a 1964 issue of Life magazine.
All tracks written by China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale except as noted.
The 2004 Audiogram Canada CD release contains the bonus track "Sympathique (Version Inédite)" (Forbes/Lauderdale) - 03:32
