Great video! Nice find!

We had the following silent videos posted as one video in another thread (http://www.bananas.org/showthread.php?t=1017), but google must have taken the video down as it won't play anymore on that thread. I found it again on YouTube though. This thread reminded me of it :) Enjoy!

Gina, you've done it now, we're all singing this in the house. On the bright side, my son may be going nuts about bananas also!

:0517: Babyblue you brought so many memories of my younger days with that nanner song. I heard that song for years, wayyyyyyyy before Harry did it with the puppets. Preciate' it. MG

In the version above Harry describes the bunches in measurements of hands. In all other versions I found on YouTube they were described in measurements of feet. Did he change the words to the song in later years?

Great question! The song in my head says "foot bunch".
But I have so many songs in my head there could be some mixing... :djnana2:

If only I can study the lyris and meorize them, I'm sure I could put on the best singer of this song of all time. My 9 year old says my voice makes the floor vibrate! I've got the "Day-O" down and will not start working on the rest of it. lol

Yes Anna - I thought it used to be "foot bunch" too - so I googled it and we were right!

Harvey - here are the lyrics! lol

Thanks, Cassie, but since it's Harry's song and he sang it differently, I wondered if he changed the lyrics in later years or if that was just for the muppets for some reason. On the other hand, a 7 foot bunch is probably a 40 hand bunch, or something like that. Curious minds need to know! ;)

That's something we will probably wonder about forever now! lol

I tried to look for the answer.. I could find no reference to foot as measurements for counting bananas.. but then.. I did get side tracked on youtube again..
Though the Muppets will remain my favorite one...
For your amusement....

There was some kind of contest for Malibu Rum.. there were several videos with the banana boat song.. if you go to youtube I'm sure a search will give many results for Malibu rum contest and be the banana boat song..
This one is of break dancing bananas.. little faster beat..
