Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)

rdfs:comment

On Married with Children, it has been sung by the Bundys in various episode, although with altered lyrics to match a particular situation. * In season 3's Eatin' Out, Peg, Kelly and Bud sing a version of the song that refers to Peg's Uncle Henry and his thriftiness of buying only day old bread. * In season 5's Married...with Aliens, Al sings a version about how he'll never go back to the Bundy residence after he gets the pictures of the aliens developed. * In season 7's Tis Time to Smell the Roses, Al sings a version about enjoying his retirement before Peg interrupts him. Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) is a traditional Jamaican mento folk song, the best-known version of which was sung by Harry Belafonte and an alternate version interspersed with another Jamaican folk song, "Hill and Gully Rider", by The Tarriers—later covered by Dame Shirley Bassey. Despite the song's mento influences, "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is widely known as an example of reggae music. It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home.

Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) is a traditional Jamaican mento folk song, the best-known version of which was sung by Harry Belafonte and an alternate version interspersed with another Jamaican folk song, "Hill and Gully Rider", by The Tarriers—later covered by Dame Shirley Bassey. Despite the song's mento influences, "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is widely known as an example of reggae music. It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home. Children's singer Raffi has performed the song in concert, replacing the line "I work all night on a drink of rum" with "I work all night 'til the morning come", and the line "Hide the deadly black taranch-la" with "A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana!" He also recorded this song on his 1980 album, Baby Beluga. The Wiggles sing this song on You Make Me Feel Like Dancing. On Married with Children, it has been sung by the Bundys in various episode, although with altered lyrics to match a particular situation. * In season 3's Eatin' Out, Peg, Kelly and Bud sing a version of the song that refers to Peg's Uncle Henry and his thriftiness of buying only day old bread. * In season 5's Married...with Aliens, Al sings a version about how he'll never go back to the Bundy residence after he gets the pictures of the aliens developed. * In season 7's Tis Time to Smell the Roses, Al sings a version about enjoying his retirement before Peg interrupts him.
