Now let me get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
#Coconut #HarryNilsson #NilssonSchmilsson
Happy 83rd Birthday in heaven, Harry!
I'm realising there are so many songs by Harry Nilsson that I didn't realise were by Harry Nilsson :)
The singers themselves in the mid 1970s when asked who had the greatest vocal range voted Harry Nilsson # 1
Me too
One :)
Lennon and McCartney loved this guy!!!
Same
Harry Nilsson is not merely a songwriting genius with a vocal range that stretches out like all the keys of a piano, He is a all those things in a BATHROBE, mind you. Nobody can top that :)
Was
#6 on the jukebox
Alan Wake reference. Amazing game!
Definitely, had forgotten how great this song was, until I walked into the dinner and was asked to put it on for that guy at the table. Laughed a bit when the brother commented that he was in hell.😂
Great game!
" The Jukebox is out of order!
The poor old thing can only take so much of the SAME SONG being played over and over and over.
I'm as big a fan of "Cocounut" as the next person but COME ON!"
Great game! I’m on my third play through. That part always make me laugh.
This always reminds me of Nigel Murray and Lance from Bones. RIP to both of them.
Saw this comment a while ago.. and yesterday I saw the episode where Sweets died (binge-watching Bones)... rough way they killed off his character T_T
Samee
I miss them two. I'm listening now because of them
Agreed 😭
I come to see this comment thanks, these characters are dope
I always love how he sings "DOCTOOOOR!"
Harry Nilsson is ridiculously underrated
Nilsson Shmilsson 😂
you mean overrated?
I’m certain no artist who has ever been on UA-cam isn’t called underrated.
Nope ...that statement is ridiculous ! Maybe underappreciated in YOUR world
Um Harry had a range that few had or have achieved since. Freddy Mercury comes to mind. Not only that he wrote insane songs.
Summer of ‘72... some of the best tunes EVER! CB
Just watched Reservoir Dogs for the 100th time. Now I can't stop playing this song.😄
my immediate association with this song
I need you cool. Are you cool?
Yeah, I'm cool.
Can't remember it in the film, but had the soundtrack playing in my car this morning...
@@malesu1068end credits I'm pretty sure
@@DanThibodeau1 yes
My memory of this song: I was working as a janitor in a large factory back around 1972 when this song was getting air play; now the factory at that time had around 400 people working, and at least 80% had their radios tuned to one radio station. Well, this song came on, all the radios got turned up...what a sound! The whole album is excellent. Harry really rocks it with "Jump Into The Fire."
Harry has a bunch of great songs ...Daybreak , without you, everyone's talkin, gotta get up, so many
Awesome
An Epic Moment, Actually approx 4 Minutes of it; In That many Peoples History To Happily Reminisce Back to each Time they Hear the song & Wonder: How Many people Still Crank it Up to Harry's Famous words!! >>>>>>>>>>>Too bad Harry's mgr Stole Million$ from Him Leading to His Heart attack Death. RIP Harry!!! & Know You Made History!!! Yes I remember this song Back In Its radio Airplay days & loved It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great memory, John!
What a moment that must have been in that factory!
My dad and I would always listen to Harry Nilsson songs when I was growing up and Coconut was one of our favorites. I regret not listening it to it with him more often before he got sick and passed away. I miss you dad
Just a small mental shift - instead of regretting, give thanks and remember all the times that you listened together 🙏🏻
This song has the same magic as Bolero: simplicity, repetition and progression, executed masterfully. Pure genius.
My thoughts exactly- the song builds over a repeated pattern. Plus you get to play it in a gorilla suit!
Song so good they named a car with the same name
I made the observation 10 months ago here that Coconut is a little like Bolero. You're welcome (if you saw it). ua-cam.com/video/WtV_puDwtZ8/v-deo.html
Perfect.
Same as Bolero.... I can't believe you said that.
Sweets and Vincent❤
Practical Magic for meeee!
Same that movie is so underrated
Nilsson is a gift to this warped existence…Appreciate all he did
I'm about to head to bed, and now this song is going to be playing in my head for an hour, and I love it.
This is one of those songs that makes you remember where you were when it was popular. I was incredibly lucky to have grown up in the 70s.
Y6u😮😊😅😅😅😅😅😅⁶6
😂😂❤
Absolute Genius songwriting from Harry.
One (C7) chord all the way through and nonsense repetitive lyrics , yet it's just completely superb.
Cause the song actually grows as it's played through, unlike songs that attempt repetition now, it's completely stale and doesn't go anywhere. There are some songs now that can still do this, but most popular songs will fail.
in some way it's like "the bolero de Ravel" really minimalist but so well excuted it's a masterpiece.
This was Nilsson's genius; he could do this song and keep us entertained and then he touches our souls with "Without You";
cadence changes, rythm changes, melodic changes through the voice... just looking at the one chord is such a simplistic analysis, there's more to music than the guitar you know
Genius nonsense hehe.
Nilsson Schmilsson is one of the greatest albums EVER!!!
8-track 😂
We wore this record out in the 70s.
I remember when this song came out as well as the other major hits of this album I wasn’t even a teenager yet and I took my money from mowing peoples yards and went down to the record store and bought it and came home and played it and loved it! Of course I still do.
WE PUTTING THE LIME AND COCONUT TOGETHER WITH THIS ONE!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
AND WE ARE DRINKING EM BOT UP WITH THIS ONE!!!!!!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But who's lime is going into which coconut?
Lyrics: Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,
His sister had another one she paid it for the lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up.
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put the lime in the coconut, she call the doctor, woke 'I'm up,
Said "doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"
I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"
I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"
I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."
Now lemme get this straight,
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot' up,

I said, "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' togedther

I'll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.
I'll tell you what to do if you call me in the morning.
I'll tell you what to do and if you call me in the morning
I'll tell you what to do.
Can you explain what you mean?
one cord throughout. pure magic. harry nilsson was a genius.
Truly
Alana Clark ... Was.
NOT in the rock n' roll hall of fame . !
He’s not a genius, this shit isn’t hard to do. Stop calling everybody genius for doing minor things.
He was a musical genius.
K-Billy’s Super Sounds of the 70s just keeps on truckin’
Really "excited" DJ super Billy
Underrated comment 🤌🏻
It might be one chord but the rhythm progression is phenomenal, as are his progressively intense vocals. True genius.
Aaah yes ! I heard this song on a jukebox, in a dinner, in that small mountain town. Two old dudes were arguing over the song, and people were a bit strange, but the coffee was good, and the waitress was a nice young woman.
I wouldn't recommand the bathroom at that place though. There was no light, and it felt very, very... dark.
I think I’ve been there; wasn’t there a cardboard cutout of some author by the door?
Whoa crazy I think we all went to the same place! Did you guys see the lake there? It's a stunning view
Me and David Byrne were there sipping beers in the corner, I just ran into him the other day he's the same as he ever was.....same as he ever was....same as he ever was
This man was an erratic, crazy, music genius...taken way too soon...respect...we can only wonder...
Yes, gut wrenching to lose his genius too soon; imagine how his music would have evolved; such a genius.
A shooting star as they say, too good to be around this place very long. Only the good die yo...
hooked on the booze
Nah this dude was a mediocre, overrated singer
Him and Jim Croce
Greatest one-chord song ever.
Harry put TWO one-chord songs on the charts - this and "Jump into the Fire."
My smile gets bigger and bigger as the song plays until I'm laughing out loud. Love this song ever since I first heard it in the 70s.
Try enjoying it in yet another dimension: This year (2024) for National Pie Day (23 January) I made a "Lime Under Coconut" pie to take to work. Lime custard on the bottom; white chocolate mousse loaded with coconut on top. So working late tonight, a few nights later, I brought a slice with me back to my desk and queued up this video. Kind of makes you forget it's winter for a few minutes.
Practical Magic, epic midnight margarita scene ❤ Man I miss the 90’s..
Don't you mean the 70s?
@alanhoal6004 for those of not born in time, we'd have found this awesome sing via the 90s film mentioned above
we love harry, everybody stole from him. he needs respect. long live harry
Well, ... Harry Went to a better Place Than They will
I am 34 years old and, since I can remember, have known about "put the lime in the coconut"... sung it many times infact... and this is the FIRST time hearing the actual song LMAO!!! Out from under my rock I've come!! LOL
Same here! Same age too. I sung it again just before and I was like, “where the hell did I get this from?” Lol
Somebody remember Sweets and Mr. Nigel Murray?
I just watched the episode where he dies and I'm listening to this song and crying a lot
Listened to this with my dad, now listening to it w my daughter. Great song for ALL generations
I'd like to thank my parents for getting drunk around campfires to this song. My childhood was pretty fun most nights.
I should say SO !
The first time I heard this song, it was from my dad singing it after having a couple margaritas. My first thought was that he was making it up on the fly. My second thought was that it was one of the funniest things I had heard in my life up until that point.
Glad to hear they didn't fall in 😆
Same!! My parents used to sing this to me as we went down the river in our canoe! While they drank their beer…. I miss them!
Nice 🙂 👍
The random doctor line at 1:11 is my favorite. If you listen to it you'll hear multiple Harry's as the song goes on it's absolutely amazing they all weave in and out
The true Coconut pill song.
I remember hearing it on the radio in 71. Love it.
I can be in the worse mood ever..this song turns it right around instantly..
Yes
Good thing this plays at the end of Reservoir Dogs, the pick-me-up was certainly needed.
Fr
of course you know you'll have this tune stuck in your head for the next 75 years
Woke up this morning singing this. Yesterday was the first day picking limes this season off our tree.
Ahhhh!!!!!!
no one has ever even attempted to remake this song?? amazing....def falls into the category of songs u shouldnt touch...yet someone always does....
Well, Homer did.
Thats an amazing voice . Doubled and multitracked . Climbing up and down the major scale at will.
And all over 1 static chord.
What a voice and what an imagination
Harry is truly a genius. I love the 60s 70s and all their far out psychedelic singing and melodies. If I had a time machine that would be my desired destination.
Yes!!! I love the music from that era! This song, Canned Heat's original sound, there's so many!!
@@missmew3499 Yes, love Canned Heat so much! Still listen to them daily..Going Up the Country one of the greatest songs ever, imo. Quintessential 1960's! ♥️♥️♥️
Was a genius.
Make some room in that time machine...
@@agumperzshotgun
I get the impression that putting the lime in the coconut is recommended
It is a metaphor for sex.
It relieves the belly ache
Call me in da mornin
Stefan Schleps no no no it’s mixing alcohol and heroin or opiates and believe me, it’s not recommended. At first it’s ooh ohhh ohhh but then it becomes call me in the morning
You´re definitely very perceptive and have not had enough lime yet...
Absolutely!
This was Lance Sweets favourite song from the tv show Bones. It’s a cool little song.
Agreed 👍
Bought this album in 1971 and still have it. I can't believe it's 25 years since he passed away. Great to hear it here. Thanks for uploading
you're old
@@officialblue967 You're impertinent.
It's an RCA "Dynagroove" record!
At dinner for my 60th birthday in a very nice Atlanta restaurant, I spontaneously turned to my granddaughter, and also my grandson, and started singing this song. Their WTF reaction was priceless, especially hers, because she looked at my daughter - her mother - and said “you grew up with this?”
Don’t ask me why I did it. It seemed fun at the time. And yes, it was on key 😉 (C7)
Priceless , well played 🤣
Gotta keep em on their toes.
Inferring potentially, not everyone else WAS TOO, LoL He was an original & a pioneer"
My only cousins, 2 fraternal twins from NY
Top man.
That is great I love doing shit like that to my grandkids lol great
How can anyone not love that!!😂 It's a classic!
"you're such a silly woman" 🤪.
Reservoir Dogs brought me here wasn’t a filmgoer when released but the film and this song were a revelation for me years later. No surprise QT has always had amazing soundtracks
Nilsson is one of the greats.
Harry Nilsson has been a part of my life since the 70's. We are all blessed to have his music. It is a gift!
Harry was SOOOOO freaking UNDERRATED! Life just isn't FAIR!!!!
He was NEVER underrated !!!! He was huge , and still is very popular. Maybe just underrated in your world
❤
Every time I hear this song, I can't get it out of my head. Very infectious. I love it.
John Lennon"s best drinking buddy. John at 40 , Harry at 52. Too young. What a voice--TJ STR
Love the amazing progression of this song. Very impressive. Such a beautiful variety on the album.
I couldn’t agree more. The construction of this song is a sophisticated, gradual progression that flows seamlessly. Quite impressive, at least to my ear.
65 and still rocking to Nilsson
Thank you, Alan Wake. What a masterpiece. 🤣 OMG I'm going to play this song for my friend, hahahaha.
This really is a one off, brings back loads of memories from my youth, now I've got coconuts on the brain all over again! !!!!
Reservoir Dogs is an incredible movie. It also introduced me to this masterpiece
I understand why Lana said this is her fav song ❤️🔥
That song just makes me sad and emotional.
It’s the funeral song for me.
Just rewatched it yesterday...
@@FatimaKhatiri-wk6mm the first funeral or the second?
Are we talking Sweets' death?
@@norahsteen25 Yes, and Vincents death.
I'm going to bed. Its 11 pm and I just finished a full day grind on CoD Modern Warfare Warzone. Its during the corona virus quarantine. I just want to feel calm so I listen to this.
Tryl Pines Video games are supposed to be fun, once you consider it to be a grind you’ve got a problem.
@@boataxe4605 grinding in a game sense has changed from "hard dull work" (the definition) to just repetitive or even just something that people spend a long time on. i think he's using the latter definition.
RIP Warzone
NOW, THATS KICK ASS VOCALS AND SYNCOPATION.
Heard this on Dr House, a patient was singing it. Couldn't get it out of my head ever since
I can thank practical magic for introducing me to this song
Harry & his high notes still send me.
Such real music and talent. Where did the world go wrong with good music
"This is it. I've died and gone to hell."
Oh please, just stop
is that what the biker says in Alan Wake? 😂
@@obudanbondon Yes, it is
...I say DOCTAAAAAAA!
AINT THERE NUTHIN I CAN TAKE-
edgy band stannie : To relieve this bellyache.
Love Harry.....what a genius!!!
Harry is/was one of the best! He was "one" of the fifth Beatles, if you know what I mean...
😂😂❤
I wasn't even around when this song was first made, but every time I hear it I want to get up and start dancing. It always makes me happy! Great song!
I'm up dancing and singing right now....been singing really loudly...starting to give myself a headache....lol
This and ‘Jump into the fire’ on the same album? That’s diversity!
Right after "Without You" too
2 classics!
Soon to be a presidential theme song hope you're all ready
Nilsson scatting the bass for this song is excellent
Harry Nillson had the most beautiful voice of anybody in his era.
Perfect at the end of Reservoir Dogs
Had to Love Him.
I dont understand why he chose this song for the credits
@@poultrylink6974 It's Tarantino Bro,you Don't need to understand,just enjoy It .
Otal dozikinha Very true
@@poultrylink6974 I thought it was fucking hilarious myself. I enjoyed it.
Kama-LAHHH- la-la-la-LAHH, la-la-la, LAHH, lala LAHH, lalaLAHH. KAMALA-LAHHH!
Yet to hear another song like this
Bones! ❤🔥 Sweets... Whos with me 2022
Y Vincent 😢
Just watched Bones. Lol.. brought me right here😎😋✨✌🏽... Booth took care of it ✊🏼
Right here!!
2024 lmao
I just watched the episode where he dies and I'm listening to this song and crying a lot
that album cover smells like weed
True 👌
so does the song
So Jeffrey that's like, your opinion man. In 1973 we were listening to this and putting weed in the ice pipe and smoking it up. No coconut, no lime.
Good to know
That's funny, I'm smoking weed right now.
I didn't know Daryl Dixon sang this! Good for him.
I'm a 14 year old progeria patient so I look old enough to remember coming home from Vietnam and hearing this crazy song for the first time on the radio on a hot hazy day in downtown St Louis... but I don't really.
Alan Wake♥️
This guy was a massive talent... songwriter, producer, musician and especially singer. As others have stated he was friends with and highly respected by the Beatles, the Who, Dustin Hoffman ...and many others. His version of the Badfinger song Without You still gives me chills.
He wrote without you .
@@maakeklein4073 Pete Ham and Tom Evans wrote Without You and Badfinger released it originally.
@@LightningDogg You are correct
I cant get over listening to this song after watching Reservoir Dogs for the 10th time
LOVE THIS SONG ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My daughter passed away 2 months ago she was 37, she hated this song so much. I didn't play this at her funeral, but I did play Remember (Christmas) another great Nilsson song.
Nilsson's roll from the bridge into the last verse - WITHOUT a breath - is one of the greatest moments in pop music as far as I'm concerned... ❤️
#6 on the jukebox sometimes you gotta give it a good smack though
Are you serious? "Coconut," again? You disgust me. 😉
I had the great pleasure to meet Harry in 1980,having been a fan.I was cast in the Popeye movie.I can assure all he was brilliant and a warm and gracious man.I miss him.
I was - and still am - a HUGE Nilsson fan.
But it took me a LONG time to even begin to appreciate his score for "Popeye"...
Used to have it on the original vinyl, sadly sold my LP'S a year ago. Favorite song on the album
The third of July, 1972. Copped six hits of pure LSD, on blue-green blotter. Up in Baltimore at the old Tower, High School. And took my first LSD trip. This song came on the little A.M. radio I had by my bed at two in the morning. And I was in ecstacy. So this is LSD ! This is what everyone is talking about. And I've never been better. ''I said Doctor. Is there nothing I can take? To relieve this belly-ache?
You put the lime in the coconut. And put them both together. You put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.'' My hippie life was born. Forty-five years later, this song is still providing that residual rush. Thanks Harry Nilsson. tarantino who? Never heard of him. Does he write music?
Peace.
Peak boomer-posting
That’s a great fucking story! I’m 24 and I have an AM radio by my bed too haha.
The perfect song to play while sitting in the doctors office waiting room 😆
I love playing the video of my birds chirping and squaking while I'm waiting!..People look up and wonder where the hell that bird is! 🤔😱
& Some times/Ussually the Lime is better Medicine ( meant TRUTHFULLY!!!) Naturally Than the Toxic Meds dr's Write presc for.
Or at a stoplight:)
I'm going to play BABY SHARK at my next appointment!
😂😂😂
Still #1 in my head . 🤪🤪🤪. We could use more of his kind...🌍✌️🌎
This in the ending of reservoir dogs was perfect.
I listen to this song, AND THEN I FEEL BETTER.
Fuck ya
for some reason this was my favorite song as a kid, in the 2000s i’d sit in my butterfly carseat and dance to this song and ask for it to be played over and over again
A vocal artist
A guitar artist
A Piss artist
A fantastic all rounder
I so love this song...and still find myself dancing to it..even though its painful for me to dance...I can't help it...the music is so tempting!!! LOL!
Practical Magic brought me here
MIDNIGHT MARGARITAAAAS
Yes!!!!!
So mote it be! 🍷🍸
Miss Del Rey.. here we are! 🥥
