Harry Belafonte - Day-O The Banana Boat Song [1956]
"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is a traditional Jamaican folk song. The song has mento influences, but it is commonly classified as an example of the better known calypso music.
It is a work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home.
The best-known version was released by American singer Harry Belafonte in 1956 and later became one of his signature songs. That same year The Tarriers released an alternative version that incorporated the chorus of another Jamaican folk song, "Hill and Gully Rider". The Tarriers version was recorded by Shirley Bassey in 1957 for her 1959 album The Bewitching Miss Bassey.

RIP Harry. Your compassion, activism, and talent will be missed.
My dad bought this for us when we were in primary school and we loved the the song so much until a lady borrowed it and never returned it to us again. I feel so sad that the world has lost a legend. May Harry Belafonte’ soul rest in perfect peace🙏🏽
Funny thing I remember singing this song back in primary school too! This is a classic folk song often compared to the great Louise Bennett! 🇯🇲
While, that is messed up! You should have treated it like a Rembrandt, because it was!
This song just comes to me. I sang it as a child and now. Never gets old. Those were the days.
Born in 1954, two years before this song came out, it was the first grown up song I was aware of. It was on the little yellow 45 vinyl records and played a lot in our house in Okinawa. Also, we had a banana tree orchord.
I remember seeing Mr.Belafonte on British tv often as a kid. A big inspiration and influence on Freddie Mercury no doubt:) Queen brought me here:)
I love this song and first came to know that it was Harry Belafonte while watching one of my faves movies: Beetlejuice......
LOL Love this classic....father use to sing it all day.
RIP Harry.
A special human. Mr King is waiting for him with open arms.
I love this song, used to sing a long to it on the wireless trying to imitate his accent!

Japanese submarine slammed 2 torpedoes into our side, we were coming back from the island of Tinian, we’d just delivered the bomb. 1100 men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water? You can tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, sharks come cruisin’, so we formed ourselves into tight groups and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away, sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost 100 men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, 1100 men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
Long live the Indianapolis!
Woah...what an experience. Omgosh

I can only imagine an increase in site hits since Biden was elected.
This is garbage. You can hear the same thing down in the hood anytime.
Explain?
