1977 No alternate endings but great performance by Harry and the guys! Only problem is, the audience is lacking in enthusiasm. It was a taping of a German tv show, 'Rockpalast' and it looks like they filled the audience by paying people to be there and clap. Poor Harry! He works hard to get them interested, but they just don't get it. Should have let real fans attend.

I sang background vocals on this song on the album. What a great time I had in the studio with Harry that day. After the recording, we went to do a show in Scranton, PA and sang with Harry on stage. What a memory and what a great time we had. I really miss Harry. We will always be blessed with his music.

@sgt10383 His widow won a huge settlement in the wrongful death case against the trucking company whose driver hit Harry, and she gave most of it to her late husband's charities.

I live in the town next to Scranton Pa. Its an honor to know that where i go to my favorite diner, a truck crashed and bananas went everywhere.

@tjs2474 I agree. It hurts my soul too.

@mokeymina Bad lighting combined with bad choice of shirt, not that you would care.

@motokops22 but she probably got your attention!

That's gotta be about the lamest crowd in concert history. Great performance, though, despite the lack of audience participation.

Guys, show a little respect. HC was awarded the Congressional medal of honor posthumously for his efforts to end world hunger. He literally gave all his net proceeds to charity. And for god's sake, this song is intended to be a satire. Seeing flippant people call this man a sick fuck hurt's my soul.

Harry Chapin played this for my son, Paul, at his last concert in Loiisville, KY. He was taking requests and my 5 year old son yelled "Play the Banana Song." Harry Chapin really knew how to put on a concert that everyone could enjoy. Taken from us much too young.
