so, this comment sort of reminded me of a thing. Back when I was 11 or 12, I ate like eight or nine bananas in a row, I just ate one after another. My family was going to some sort of party at that night and when we arrived there I got the worst stomach pain I've ever felt. I spent the entire time laying on a sofa because it was awful.
A friend randomly started singing this, so i had to look it up and now its stuck in my head and ive been listening to it on repeat. I am stuck in this hell and i will share it with everyone i know.

i love how tally hall had the power to create such powerful and emotional rollercoasters of songs... yet they decided to make songs like bananaman and mucka blucka
Mucka blucka makes me want to die when I’m listening to Marvin’s marvelous mechanical museum I just get the master piece of Hidden In The Sand and then MUCHA BAKA BALA ALA BACK BUCKA
“Banana Man” was written by Joe Hawley. It was released multiple times before it was released in its final form on Tally Hall’s 2008 reissue of Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum. The music video was fairly popular, especially for a band with as little notoriety as Tally Hall. It was this song that broadened Tally Hall’s fanbase due to the music video being featured on AlbinoBlackSheep. There are several interpretations of this song, including that it is about capitalism and banana republics, drug addiction, going with the flow of life instead of worrying, and that the song is ultimately meaningless, a simple song about pleasant nonsense.
There all wrong it's about how the banana man drives a man insane and then him becoming the banana man driving all those around him insane until eventually he finds a way to the "beach"the dimension where the current banana man resides he uses this "beach" to travel through time to turn his old self into the naner man starting an endless cycle of bananas and lunacy witch will never end as he traps more people in the beach and turns them into birds and the person taking out the trash has become a warlock for the banana man tasked with spreading his influence as much as he can before he takes up the mantle
At first I thought I had a good impression of Tally Hall. Songs like Ruler of Everything and The Mind Electric felt arcane and fantastical, like they had an old magic imbued into their core. And then I listened to this song and realized how little I knew.
Oh frick that makes much more sense! To me, it kind of looks like the fat lips trope of blackface performers (which of course would be been rather problematic if it was) and so I kind of assumed it was and uh y e a h but I’m glad it isn’t!
This is the most eerily disturbing song I know, and I never get scared by weird stuff, but this is just way too innocently strange and uncanny just in the right places
@@azekia well those have deeper meanings, their not particularly deep in terms of topic but they are still more than they seem at first. Banana man is literally just banana
@@azekia also how is Good Day about having a Good Day theres literally a funeral scene for a television in there (if you ask me its about the rise of the internet and entertainment but thats a whole nother can of worms.)
I think this is the story of a depressed worker that went to take out the trash and was possessed by the Banana Man. He put him on a never stopping lustful search for bananas. He spread the word about the banana to his coworkers and they thought he was crazy. He started to see the birds and banana man in the mirror. Eventually he became the banana man and is trapped in the image by the back alley. Until the next victim. Or just bananas
I forget about this video for several months at a time just for it to suddenly pop back into my skull which gives me the violent urge to watch it again. I just spent 30 minutes searching “parrot man head banana song” because I needed to see it
Dear God, I just the way their body movements go so jerkily is like the horror monster of an Andres Muschietti film, but in this context it's so bizarrely hilarious
-take trash out - have some birds defy all known laws and talk - look at them - your picture comes to life - your picture dances - break into a government building - disrupt a meeting - draw on the whiteboard messing up all plans - end up in the hospital - go on an acid trip
Lyrics: Do you see Banana man Hopping over on the white hot sand Here he come with some for me Freshly taken from banana tree (1, 2, 3, 4) Banana man, me want a ton Give me double and a bonus one Give me more for all me friends Dis banana flow will never end Do you want a banana? Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? Dis banana for you Tonight we dance around a flame Then we get to play spirit game Spirit names we shout out loud Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud All the songbirds in the tree Chant a tune to let the spirits free Then we see them in the night Spirits jumpin' by the fire light Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Dis banana for you Look you, you're too uptight you know You can laugh and kick it back and go (weeeee!) But without a rhythm or a rhyme You do not banana all the time Fly away from city on the run Try to make a little fun Look you, come to the bungalow African't you tell me told you so Don't you love the bumping of the drum Make you shake until the bum go numb Let the bongo play you till you drop Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop) Forget all your troubles and go with the flow Forget about whatever you may never know Like whether whatever you are 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 they make you wanna bellow but you're stuck in a choke And you forget about the yellow from the colorful man who make you take another one And make a mock of your plan Bungalay, Bungalow; 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 the plane No banana make you go insane Floating back to busy town No banana make you want to frown Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? Dis banana for you
This took not only an initial idea, but an extensive process of production to accomplish. Someone fully committed to creating this. They didn't give up at any point of the process.
@@TheTwistedPuppeteer It's about a man who hates his life. He is in an alleyway throwing away his trash and a drug dealer offers him drugs, he takes them. He goes to work high and gets fired and gets put into a mental hospital. Gets out, finds the drug dealer and probably dies of an overdose. But that's just my thoughts.
Judging by the ending, it's about a an office worker who doesn't get vacation (bananas), and spends all day fantasizing about it. He goes to take out the trash-- bananas. He goes to a meeting-- bananas. Where he says, "it's nine o'clock, and it's getting dark, [...] I've never left so early and you may wonder why," he's referring to all the work he probably doesn't get paid overtime for. At the end he gives up. The part about having no banana on the plane back home is him telling himself that even if he got a vacation, it would be fleeting and he'd be back to the same inane routine all too soon. There's no happy ending, as he's still strapped to the gurney by the finale. Work is driving him insane and all he can do is pretend the banana he has with lunch is a tropical getaway. Or what another comment said, that the bananas are drugs and he overdoses at the end after getting fired. Either way, sad ending.
To be honest i just feel some huge mid to late 2000s vibes to the video that i really like. Which makes sense since the song was made and released around that time.
Here’s the story: A guy finds some bananas, they’re good. He goes to Africa to have some more. He heads back to Detroit, he doesn’t have any and is sad. Moral of the story: can’t have ****** in Detroit.
There's a theory on the story, a businessman wanting to sell a banna plant to some people(supposedly from Africa because of the line Africant you tell me don't you so) they tell him to "go with the flow" and "you could have chchilled with us and we mabey would have bought it" and at the end they are mocking him with the line "no banna make you want to frown" This theory was by a TH-cam I did not make it, I just wanted to spread it around

It’s like death is coming because you’re on your 39,999 banana but still want to eat one more, I guess
@@HabitualThinker yeah

I think this is the story of a depressed worker that went to take out the trash and was possessed by the Banana Man. He put him on a never stopping lustful search for bananas. He spread the word about the banana to his coworkers and they thought he was crazy. He started to see the birds and banana man in the mirror. Eventually he became the banana man and is trapped in the image by the back alley. Until the next victim.
Or just bananas
Kaleeeb, we will never know because the guy who wrote this song, wrote it during a mental break down

Lyrics:
Do you see Banana man
Hopping over on the white hot sand
Here he come with some for me
Freshly taken from banana tree
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Banana man, me want a ton
Give me double and a bonus one
Give me more for all me friends
Dis banana flow will never end
Do you want a banana?
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Tonight we dance around a flame
Then we get to play spirit game
Spirit names we shout out loud
Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud
All the songbirds in the tree
Chant a tune to let the spirits free
Then we see them in the night
Spirits jumpin' by the fire light
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Dis banana for you
Look you, you're too uptight you know
You can laugh and kick it back and go (weeeee!)
But without a rhythm or a rhyme
You do not banana all the time
Fly away from city on the run
Try to make a little fun
Look you, come to the bungalow
African't you tell me told you so
Don't you love the bumping of the drum
Make you shake until the bum go numb
Let the bongo play you till you drop
Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop)
Forget all your troubles and go with the flow
Forget about whatever you may never know
Like whether whatever you are 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 they make you wanna bellow but you're stuck in a choke
And you forget about the yellow from the colorful man who make you take another one
And make a mock of your plan
Bungalay, Bungalow; 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 the plane
No banana make you go insane
Floating back to busy town
No banana make you want to frown
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Thanks Josuke
Thanks Yasuho's dog
Thanks josuke just dont forget to put the chair over the bed
Thanks JoJolion dog
But without rhythm or rhyme you do not banana all the time
Idk man I’m pretty sure it goes
Dis bananaa for 😈 youuuuu
Joe Hawley eating a banana while looking depressed is the one thing I needed in my life
I still cant believe the same guys that made "Turn The Lights Off" made this
and dream sweet in sea major
wtf that was my exact reaction when i first saw this video cause i found tally hall from turn the lights off
banana
@@PETRIXXXX banana
Banana
This took not only an initial idea, but an extensive process of production to accomplish. Someone fully committed to creating this. They didn't give up at any point of the process.
That's how Joe writes his songs
Literally everyone points out the video's odd nature but no one points out the fucking creativity used in this video. It's utterely amazing.
You try not to misuse litterally. You're using it as a rhythmic filler instead of it's actual meaning.

@@ellpoyohlokoh he will always be of tally hall fame to me :)
so that's why he looked different
3:29 how has no one noticed that he's not taking a bite of the banana its reversed
I HATE YOU FOR NOTICING THIS
I think this song has meaning, but I can't decipher it
The song talks about releasing souls by singing a tune while also talking about increasing sales. I need help with the meaning
@@TheTwistedPuppeteer It's about a man who hates his life. He is in an alleyway throwing away his trash and a drug dealer offers him drugs, he takes them. He goes to work high and gets fired and gets put into a mental hospital. Gets out, finds the drug dealer and probably dies of an overdose. But that's just my thoughts.
@@andyinreallife431 That’s a normal Monday for Joe
Therapist: Every dream has a meaning.
My dreams:
It means you don’t have enough potassium ( :
Dude you better be scared and also eat your trash instead of throwing it out or you gonna get hit by a man with a giant plastic banana
This song is about forgetting about the things we can’t understand and just enjoying life
@@psychosparten049.esquire9 How smooth is your brain? Did you sand out all those nasty wrinkles?
@@RedshirtAfficionado there is no correct interpretation relax
I dont know what I've just saw, but all I can say is this.
this shit is lit
I still can’t tell if this video is trying to tell a story
Unless the story is a bad trip
Judging by the ending, it's about a an office worker who doesn't get vacation (bananas), and spends all day fantasizing about it. He goes to take out the trash-- bananas. He goes to a meeting-- bananas.
Where he says, "it's nine o'clock, and it's getting dark, [...] I've never left so early and you may wonder why," he's referring to all the work he probably doesn't get paid overtime for.
At the end he gives up. The part about having no banana on the plane back home is him telling himself that even if he got a vacation, it would be fleeting and he'd be back to the same inane routine all too soon.
There's no happy ending, as he's still strapped to the gurney by the finale. Work is driving him insane and all he can do is pretend the banana he has with lunch is a tropical getaway.
Or what another comment said, that the bananas are drugs and he overdoses at the end after getting fired. Either way, sad ending.
dont think about it too hard
@@dandynoble2875 gosh that makes sense
man goes bat shit crazy over a banana and starts hallucinating about a man who gives people bananas
Someone reposted this on TikTok and all the comments were “well, guess i won’t be sleeping tonight” and calling it creepy, but tbh it’s kinda funny.
TikTok bad
Tik Tok sucks, dude this fucking slaps.
Don’t trust the banana man haters, they lack potassium
People will be scared by anything at all if you tell them it’s creepy.
To be honest i just feel some huge mid to late 2000s vibes to the video that i really like. Which makes sense since the song was made and released around that time.
WHY IS THIS NOT THE MOST POPULAR AND TALKED ABOUT VIDEO ON THE INTERNET
I have no idea
Because it's been on the internet since the 90s, it was on AlbinoBlackSheep back in the good 'ol days.
90s huh? 90s? As in 1990? You sure about that? You sure Tally Hall's been around that long?
Because people have awful taste.
All these Harambes and swags about, babanual sales have been plummeting!
+Didger the Stoppable Terry Hintz!
“If you eat 40,000 bananas in 10 minutes you would die of radiation poisoning”
“Ah yes, the RADIATION would kill you”
it'd be the banana birds mad that you took all the bananas of course
3:26 this little part with the guitar is so good, wish they had kept it in the album version
Don't really like the album version, for some reason i just prefer this.
@@habratss this version just has more chaotic energy, and sometimes chaos is good
Here’s the story:
A guy finds some bananas, they’re good.
He goes to Africa to have some more.
He heads back to Detroit, he doesn’t have any and is sad.
Moral of the story: can’t have ****** in Detroit.
true story
Spirts chalking by the fire light
Holy shit I actually wasnt EXPECTING that that time
Especially bananas
There's a theory on the story, a businessman wanting to sell a banna plant to some people(supposedly from Africa because of the line Africant you tell me don't you so) they tell him to "go with the flow" and "you could have chchilled with us and we mabey would have bought it" and at the end they are mocking him with the line "no banna make you want to frown"
This theory was by a TH-cam I did not make it, I just wanted to spread it around
