[jonjamg]

I was not allowed to play the old 78s in the house when I was young, so I was relegated to the garden shed with the old HMV wind up grammophone - marvellous!! It was my world!!! No they don't make them like this any more - just as well because this wouldn't be a classic!

[cassu1041]

Harry Belafonte was amazing music artist

[HiMynameisShiela]

WHY DO PEOPLE DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE ?

[adamhunterbrewer]

:D:D:D:D::D dont read below

well thanks for reading dumbass now i have to write somethin...once i ate a bannana if u read 2 here im mad at you cuz i gotta write more!

uhh tities

[Mortthemoose]

[jameel52]

tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! riddem! the 14 persons tht dislike needs a real check up

[r0yalgate]

who in the fuck sugjests lime in the coconut aftr this

[Xbizkitl]

I have never thought of my father, who left my family many years ago, much, but this song reminds me strongly of him, and sadly, makes me miss him a bit.

[camandhayley]

This song is so funny in fast forward high pitched!!

[blackbirdieee]

Great song. But, the spelling would be coconut wouldnt it, seeing it is isnt to do with cocoa. but the fruit of the coconut trees that line the beaches. Coconut water is a most refreshing drink.The sleeve I would have thought, depicts these beach coconuts.

[Chieu3]

@blackbirdieee it's the accent

[blackbirdieee]

@Chieu3 Aye. 'Tis the accent. , I say I say, I loved this song as a child, especially the bit about strong like a lion. The lady on the cover is gorgeous.

[rastagirliana]

LOVE this tune..... something is seriously wrong with 14 people....

[RagtimeGoldfield]

Man I was feeling pretty depressed, but this song has really cheered me up

[jonjamg]

We had this on 78, loved it when I was a kid think it was the reverse side of Island in the Sun? Must have a look probably still got it somewhere!!!

[sonyadanita]

thumbs up if this song made you laugh or smile :)

[nicelydone31]

i remember playing this on steel bands in primary school 23 yrs ago! lol!

[fixitmanarizona]

@seanseanleprechaun Coconut is the modern spelling. Cocoanut is the "OLD" spelling (if i get what OED means, it's outdated) Another reason to use the modern spelling, less confusion with the cacao or cocoa BEAN from which chocolate is made. The original spelling of this, and Cocoanut Grove, were variants.

[theshimster14]

plays at fucking walgreens all day!

[seanseanleprechaun]

I love this....! By the by, debunkathiests.....cocoanut is the correct way to spell cocoanut., Look in your O.E.D. old chap. You Americans....

[bidiHumbidi]

Great number. The lyrics absolutly work the song in tandem with the rhythm, and mostly through HB's excellent phrasing. The lyrics are spot-on : grooving, decent health advice. - I got into HB as a child in North-Germany during the 50s & 60s because my mum loved him. Blessings - for her and him!!!

[debunkathiests]

you got the spelling of coconut wrong..harry belafonte would fuck you up

[Edibrook1]

But, wait ... the lyrics are fantastimazing! *I heart Harry* :)

[rukshannn]

me too totally agree with caracaes post, and this is cool song and people who do not live in places where lot of coconut can't feel it. in ma country coconut is one of main food sources. so its very important for our culture so this a cool stuff

[DNAblues]

I totally agree with caracaes. It is the vibe, not the lyrics or scale or any of that stuff. All that matter is how it makes you feel.

Thanks for posting and for you artshow.

[Senia2]

Coco gota lota ironnnn..... make u stronga lika lionnn....!! hahaha love it

[Xoxocube]

[Mstwistedsis]

I love this song Harry is my fav. artist! This song is silly and fun!

[prehist0ry]

10 people will be thrown by coconuts.

[genesisworld2000]

I remembered hearing this song some 30 years ago on radio.Wow this song not only funny but I like it when i was just a little kid. now it is forgotten completely by the young people.

[mostunlikelyname]

@genesisworld2000 My grandfather introduced me to Harry belafonte and me and my cousins and older brother love him! All 8 (16 years - 11 months of age) of us!

[Bilfo]

It's Coconut, not Cocoanut. And I sang this in pre-school :) Such memories.

Big up Trinidad and Tobago.

[ricardoblingbling]

@HiddenAgenda11 sorry this is Jamaican

[HiddenAgenda11]

@ricardoblingbling I didn't say this song was Jamaican. I simply said "Big up Trinidad and Tobago" because it is a very popular song here and a lot of kids grow up singing it. :)

[ricardoblingbling]

[MadamMigrane]

what a pretty picture. what a wonderful voice!

[looooooongcat13]

doesnt matter the race, this man was just classy.

[LifePursuer]

willyhassertt love how is is racist to know and gain an appreciation for your culture and the contributions that your people have made to the world of the arts etc ??????

[mlvrn]

@LifePursuer Well it's racist, ethnicist, nationalist, etc. to consider some group of people "your people" just because by chance (let's say because of a chain of past events which had shaped your present circumstances) you have the same skin color, language, etc. But of course... Everyone has the right to not avoid the primal need of feeling a part of something bigger than himself.

[LifePursuer]

@mlvrn saying "my people" in a context such as this is not racist any more than saying "my family" would be. It is a qualifying term, just as "my family" means people who just by chance (let's say because of a chain of past events which had shaped your present circumstances) you have the same living space, DNA, parentage etc. "my people" means people who share my culture, history and origin. It is contextual; don't take it out of context and criminalize a perfectly innocent statement

[willyhassertt]

i never liked this kind of music before, which got my mom annoyed because she keeps saying i need to listen, read, ETC, black things, which i find in itself racist, but i never really got into any thing like that till i heard harry belafonte,,,

[VannyARTS]

I miss the tropical ocean and it's delicious coconuts.

[CreoleCommando]

This song makes me wanna drink a Coco Rico & some Vat 19 rum.

[Bandaids4ever]

I love music.

[Hatsumomo20]

Oh my god it reminds me alot of puerto rican salsa.

[EarthaKit2]

Ha, Ther was nobody like Harry. Bless him! Beautiful, beautiful music! Composer and interpreter, Bless them!

[Maddiebp]

Harry Belafonte was a great singer. I love his songs. I like this one and Banana boat. He is a great legend in music

[manoddy]

IT MAKES ME DANCE AND SMILE AND HAPPY............GOOOOOOOOD.NO­BODY can bring it like this WOW.Thank Mr.Belafonte!!!!

[Firemonday]

I like the picture!

[lukassnakeman]

he couldnt come up with anymore lyrics thats for the last minute all he says is cocoanut

[caracaes]

it's a rhytmic music, it doesn't need to have good lyrics, just good beats.

[CherryTripping]

@caracaes it has better lyrics than most "chart toppers" atm though, innit? :)

[ViezeFries]

@caracaes

You don't think it has good lyrics?

[Maddybonbon]

@caracaes It's awesomeness end of story (:

[AwesomeBeyond]

@caracaes it may be a rhythmic type of music.... but its styll gaht nice lyrics CO COCOCO CO COCOCO

[TheGuitarcoverperson]

@caracaes kind of like pop music, OH!

[Mariekesone]

Hmm Pina colada...coconut, rum and pineapple...

Love this song:-)

[Analyst]

i think the song is 'coconut woman'...unless he's meant cocoa nut water and cocoa nut w/rum...but i doubt he's talking about the cocoa bean that is used to make chocolate.

[achmed93]

he is right
