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 that every time I am in the supermarket. Belafonte has had me creeped out for decades now because of his stupid little hit song.
And now there’s an actual deadly spider hiding in storebought grapes in my state! Aagh!
It’s getting so an arachnophobe can’t go to the store these days!
One response to “Harry Belafonte was bad enough”
The movie “Beetlejuice” has ruined this song for me. I can’t hear it without picturing Winona Ryder, Jeffrey Jones, and Catherine O’Hara dancing. (Click here to watch)
