Harry Belafonte was bad enough
Every time I buy bananas, I end up looking them over tentatively. Why? A beautiful bunch of ripe ba-na-na (daylight come and me wanna go ho-ome) hide de deadly BLACK TARONCHLA! (daylight come and me wanna go home) i know, I know, it’s a goofy song and tarantulas aren’t even deadly, but I think of…
