So I was randomly browsing through Albino Blacksheep and I saw a movie file called Banana Man by Tally Hall. I thought it would be Day-O, so I checked it out. It was not Day-O. It was creepy man-birds singing something else. Then I noticed how catchy the tune was. Then I noticed that the music video was actually pretty cool. Then I went to the band's website and saw that the music video had actually won awards. I've listened to some of their other songs, and to me they sound like Moxy Fruvos crossed with Sgt. Pepper era Beatles. I'm not sure if I like that, put they're pretty catchy, and they have some funny comedy sketch type video clips on their website, which is cool. Decide for yourself. Oh, and here's the lyrics for Banana Man:
do you see banana man
hopping over on de white hot sand
here he come with some for me
freshly taken from banana tree
banana man me want a ton
gimme double and a bonus one
gimme more for all me friends
dis banana flow will never end
CHORUS
do you want a banana? (do you want a banana?)
peel it down and go
mmm mmm mmm mmm
do you want a banana? (do you want a banana?)
dis banana for you
tonight we dance around de flame
then we get to play de spirit game
spirit names we shout out loud
shake de thunder from de spirit cloud
all de songbirds in de tree
chant a tune to let de spirits free
then we see them in de night
spirits jumping by de firelight
CHORUS
look you
you too uptight, you know
you could laugh and kick it back and go (wheee)
but without a rhythm or a rhyme
you do not banana all de time
fly away from city on de run
try to make a little fun
look you
come to de bungalo
african't you tell me told you so
don't you love de bumping of de drum
make you shake until de bum go numb
let de bongo play you till you drop
dis banana never stop
forget all your troubles and go with the flow
forget about whatever you may never know
like whether whatever you doing is whatever you should
and whether anything you do is ever anything good
and then forget about banana when it stick in your throat
and when it make you wanna bellow but you stuck in a choke
and then forget about the yellow from the colorful man
who make you take another one and make a mock of your plan
bungalay
bungalo
make up your mind
and tell me no
well it's nine o'clock
and it's getting dark
and the sun is falling from the sky
i've never left so early
and you may wonder why
tomorrow morning on de plane
no banana make you go insane
floating back to busy town
no banana make you want to frown
CHORUS
do you see banana man
hopping over on de white hot sand
here he come with some for me
freshly taken from banana tree
banana man me want a ton
gimme double and a bonus one
gimme more for all me friends
dis banana flow will never end
CHORUS
do you want a banana? (do you want a banana?)
peel it down and go
mmm mmm mmm mmm
do you want a banana? (do you want a banana?)
dis banana for you
tonight we dance around de flame
then we get to play de spirit game
spirit names we shout out loud
shake de thunder from de spirit cloud
all de songbirds in de tree
chant a tune to let de spirits free
then we see them in de night
spirits jumping by de firelight
CHORUS
