It's not weird it's part of history, It's a work song, from the p.o.v. 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.
I remember listening to The Martini and this song came out and I knew this was one of my new favorite songs, then a few months went by and Lil' Wayne used the chorus and then a few more months traveled by and Jason Derulo just remixed it and took out the chorus. Looks like I wasn't only one that liked the song.
This sounds much like the bin laden bomb song. I guess that was a parody, but it's funny that I learned about the parody first long before this song.
(I listened to the parody in October or November 2001. Back in those days, it was mind-bogglingly quick for a parody reflecting current events to be made within 2 months. Now, it's normal for them to sprout up within 2 DAYS! Just look up "bin laden death songs" and pay attention to their dates!)
last night i was watching the beetlejuice clip, then today in my politics and government of latin america class, we were watching a documentary on jamaica and low and behold, they played this song.
i loved this song wayy before lil wayne then i heard people singing lil wayne version at school and asked my friends if they heard the original one and they thought that was thee original
It's. Hilarious. I've seen this happen when people think these songs are "stolen" bye someone when sometimes the people they thought it was stolen from wasn't even born yet.
I work in the produce department of a supermarket and I restock bananas every half hour or so because EVERYBODY buys bananas. I always sing this to myself. lol.
too bad stupid people like rbrb1558 post things like that when they clearly know fuck all about communism , nice song the 6 foot 7foot bit gives me goosebumps
To make this clear to those of you think They stole this from lil Wayne. This was made WAY before lil Wayne was even born you tards... I'm on my phone so I can't point out directly who's saying it, but you are dumb if you think that. Good bye... Good song, btw. :)
@pabloMTv Stop being such a fucking dumbass. Everyone knows that lil wayne sampled this song, therefore, he didn't write it first...This was actually a song that migrant workers would sing who worked on stocking up the banana boats throughout the night before they were exported. The workers would stack the bananas up in crates as high as "6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot..." and then you had a 'bunch', or a complete stack.
why you hate wayne? ok he can never come near Harry Belafonte, but can you? no!!! he just a musician and i also like in hip hop music more gang starr and stuff like that.. but if his song brought some people here to listen day-o then he made a good job.. and btw i knew that song before lil wayne came out and not from a movie!
who could possibly think this is from Lil Wayne, this is the original from what the 50's and when did Wayne's version come out, last year, so lil wayne stole this from harry belafonte, i watched beetleguise before hearing the lil wayne version of this song
@pabloMTv sorry dude but I'm 14 and I like this version way better and yes fo say the truth lil wayne made a cover of this song meaning that this one came out first
Dude...Lil' Wayne's song came out THIS year. The original version came out years ago. How could they have possibly stolen this song from him when they recorded it before he did? Be honest...you're just trollin' right?
@pabloMTv No, they made this song first. Lil Wayne is the one who stole it! If you don't believe, look at the date of this video uploaded and compare it to Lil Wayne's 6 foot 7 foot song.
@pabloMTv You have GOT to be kidding me...you can't be older than 15, right? Sit down and do a little research, young buck. Your generation scares me.
