Does anybody ever pay any attention to the words of this song? This is not very happy song. It's about this guy whom are Banana picker...working picking a banana all night so when daylight comes he can go home. "Mr... come and total how much I picked". Just pay attention to the words and find out.

Actually it's a Trinidadian. Google Banana boat song.
To the one above post: Rap artists have been using classical Indian songs for years.

Okay. Stop singing in Latin, and you're not allowed to sing rap, or country. Depending on your ethnicity.
