      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.😂

      " 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!"

    This song has the same magic as Bolero: simplicity, repetition and progression, executed masterfully. Pure genius.

    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."

    • @awllypollyas8292
      @awllypollyas8292 3 роки тому +30

      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.

      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,
      You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot' up,
      You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em bot'up,
      You put the lime in the coconut, you call your doctor, woke 'I'm up,
      Said " Doctor, ain't there nothing' 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,"
      You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' togedther
      Put the lime in the coconut and you'll feel better,
      Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em bot' up,
      Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning."
      Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.
      Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.
      Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,
      His sister had another one she paid it for a lime.
      She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
      She put the lime in the coconut and called the doctor, woke 'I'm up.
      And 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, now lemme get this straight,
      You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot'up,
      Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' up,
      Put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em bot' up,
      Put the lime in the coconut. You're such a silly woman.
      Put a lime in the coconut and drink 'em bot' together
      Put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better.
      Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both down,
      Put the lime in your coconut, and call me in the morning,
      Woo--ain't there nothin' you can take?
      I say, woo--to relieve your belly ache,
      You say, well woo--ain't there nothin' I can take?
      I say woo--woo, to relieve your belly ache,
      You say yow--ain't there nothin' I can take,
      I say wow--to relieve this belly ache,
      I said "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,"
      I said, "Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take,"

      Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.
      Yes, you call me in the morning, 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 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

      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.

    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.

      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.

    I wouldn't recommand the bathroom at that place though. There was no light, and it felt very, very... dark.
