Ya know, I can listen to Hawii part II in sensory deprivation, and during that entire time I wouldnt feel half as scared as I do watching this video. If anything Hawii part II was several steps down in terms of making me uncomfortable
so, this comment sort of reminded me of a thing. Back when I was 11 or 12, I ate like eight or nine bananas in a row, I just ate one after another. My family was going to some sort of party at that night and when we arrived there I got the worst stomach pain I've ever felt. I spent the entire time laying on a sofa because it was awful.
This video is legitimately cursed. This is the only song I can think about. Nothing else sounds good. When I'm not listening to it nonstop, I get sad. It's constantly playing in my head. Please help.
Oh frick that makes much more sense! To me, it kind of looks like the fat lips trope of blackface performers (which of course would be been rather problematic if it was) and so I kind of assumed it was and uh y e a h but I’m glad it isn’t!

“Banana Man” was written by Joe Hawley. It was released multiple times before it was released in its final form on Tally Hall’s 2008 reissue of Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum. The music video was fairly popular, especially for a band with as little notoriety as Tally Hall. It was this song that broadened Tally Hall’s fanbase due to the music video being featured on AlbinoBlackSheep. There are several interpretations of this song, including that it is about capitalism and banana republics, drug addiction, going with the flow of life instead of worrying, and that the song is ultimately meaningless, a simple song about pleasant nonsense.
There all wrong it's about how the banana man drives a man insane and then him becoming the banana man driving all those around him insane until eventually he finds a way to the "beach"the dimension where the current banana man resides he uses this "beach" to travel through time to turn his old self into the naner man starting an endless cycle of bananas and lunacy witch will never end as he traps more people in the beach and turns them into birds and the person taking out the trash has become a warlock for the banana man tasked with spreading his influence as much as he can before he takes up the mantle
-take trash out - have some birds defy all known laws and talk - look at them - your picture comes to life - your picture dances - break into a government building - disrupt a meeting - draw on the whiteboard messing up all plans - end up in the hospital - go on an acid trip
Dear God, I just the way their body movements go so jerkily is like the horror monster of an Andres Muschietti film, but in this context it's so bizarrely hilarious
To be honest i just feel some huge mid to late 2000s vibes to the video that i really like. Which makes sense since the song was made and released around that time.
I forget about this video for several months at a time just for it to suddenly pop back into my skull which gives me the violent urge to watch it again. I just spent 30 minutes searching “parrot man head banana song” because I needed to see it
This is possibly a mixture of the worst and best use of greenscreen and video editing I've ever seen. I hate it and love it, this is insanely chaotic, and it made me crave a fucking banana. Good job.
Lyrics: Do you see Banana man Hopping over on the white hot sand Here he come with some for me Freshly taken from banana tree (1, 2, 3, 4) Banana man, me want a ton Give me double and a bonus one Give me more for all me friends Dis banana flow will never end Do you want a banana? Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? Dis banana for you Tonight we dance around a flame Then we get to play spirit game Spirit names we shout out loud Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud All the songbirds in the tree Chant a tune to let the spirits free Then we see them in the night Spirits jumpin' by the fire light Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Dis banana for you Look you, you're too uptight you know You can laugh and kick it back and go (weeeee!) But without a rhythm or a rhyme You do not banana all the time Fly away from city on the run Try to make a little fun Look you, come to the bungalow African't you tell me told you so Don't you love the bumping of the drum Make you shake until the bum go numb Let the bongo play you till you drop Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop) Forget all your troubles and go with the flow Forget about whatever you may never know Like whether whatever you are doing is whatever you should And whether anything you do is ever anything good And then forget about banana when it stick in your throat And when they make you wanna bellow but you're stuck in a choke And you forget about the yellow from the colorful man who make you take another one And make a mock of your plan Bungalay, Bungalow; make up your mind and tell me no Well it's nine o'clock and it's getting dark And the sun is falling from the sky I've never left so early and you may wonder why Tomorrow morning on the plane No banana make you go insane Floating back to busy town No banana make you want to frown Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?) Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm Do you want a banana? Dis banana for you
Here’s the story: A guy finds some bananas, they’re good. He goes to Africa to have some more. He heads back to Detroit, he doesn’t have any and is sad. Moral of the story: can’t have shit in Detroit.
There's a theory on the story, a businessman wanting to sell a banna plant to some people(supposedly from Africa because of the line Africant you tell me don't you so) they tell him to "go with the flow" and "you could have chchilled with us and we mabey would have bought it" and at the end they are mocking him with the line "no banna make you want to frown" This theory was by a UA-cam I did not make it, I just wanted to spread it around
This took not only an initial idea, but an extensive process of production to accomplish. Someone fully committed to creating this. They didn't give up at any point of the process.
Judging by the ending, it's about a an office worker who doesn't get vacation (bananas), and spends all day fantasizing about it. He goes to take out the trash-- bananas. He goes to a meeting-- bananas. Where he says, "it's nine o'clock, and it's getting dark, [...] I've never left so early and you may wonder why," he's referring to all the work he probably doesn't get paid overtime for. At the end he gives up. The part about having no banana on the plane back home is him telling himself that even if he got a vacation, it would be fleeting and he'd be back to the same inane routine all too soon. There's no happy ending, as he's still strapped to the gurney by the finale. Work is driving him insane and all he can do is pretend the banana he has with lunch is a tropical getaway. Or what another comment said, that the bananas are drugs and he overdoses at the end after getting fired. Either way, sad ending.
I like how the plot is just a dude takes out the trash then proceeds to fucking lose his shit because of some fake birds
I wouldn't be surprised if this video flashed in Joe's head everytime he sees a bird.
Don't do drugs. they are B A D.

And at 2x speed.. oh God
Legends say Joe still jumps around like a mad man, while slowly mouthing the lyrics to his songs from time to time
So, June 2004...

What fascinates me about songs like these is that someone came up with it, told the rest of the band mates and they were like ‘lmao good idea’
"Ayo guys I got an idea about about a guy who goes crazy over a banana"

the way their body movements go so jerkily is like the horror monster of an Andres Muschietti film, but in this context it's so bizarrely hilarious
They speed their movements up to look more cartoonish

@@RedshirtAfficionado there is no correct interpretation relax
This song was released in 2005 and it still absolutely slaps all these years later
This song is 16 years old
The demo which was used in the music video, was made around in 2003
"All these years later"? Seriously? It's teenaged, not from the 1950s.

Someone reposted this on TikTok and all the comments were “well, guess i won’t be sleeping tonight” and calling it creepy, but tbh it’s kinda funny.
TikTok bad
Tik Tok sucks, dude this fucking slaps.
Don’t trust the banana man haters, they lack potassium
People will be scared by anything at all if you tell them it’s creepy.
To be honest i just feel some huge mid to late 2000s vibes to the video that i really like. Which makes sense since the song was made and released around that time.
These are the same people who made fate of the stars, tally hall truly likes to play it all
*This is the Da Coconut Nut's Insane Cousin*

Lol nice
honestly i dont need those "this is your brain on drugs" commercials. i just need to watch this
lol that's funny.
Yessss
I wasn't on drugs till I saw this video
Only problem is, this song make me WANT to do drugs
read this as "your drugs on brain." yep, this is what this video has done to me
I forget about this video for several months at a time just for it to suddenly pop back into my skull which gives me the violent urge to watch it again. I just spent 30 minutes searching “parrot man head banana song” because I needed to see it
Parrot no feed cookie

this gives the same energy as the one drunk guy searching up led zeppelin but actually searching loop zoop for an hour
BAHAHAHAH 😂
I dont know what I've just saw, but all I can say is this.
this shit is lit
My dad is obsessed with this song and he is playing it in the car too. I can never escape
Your gonna listen to it so much your going to become an insane parrot.
I want to be friends with your dad.
I love your dad 💀
🎶Banana man, you better run 🎶
Personally i play this song while doing planks as a challenge
WHY IS THIS NOT THE MOST POPULAR AND TALKED ABOUT VIDEO ON THE INTERNET
I have no idea
Because it's been on the internet since the 90s, it was on AlbinoBlackSheep back in the good 'ol days.
90s huh? 90s? As in 1990? You sure about that? You sure Tally Hall's been around that long?
Because people have awful taste.
All these Harambes and swags about, babanual sales have been plummeting!
+Didger the Stoppable Terry Hintz!
I still cant believe the same guys that made "Turn The Lights Off" made this
and dream sweet in sea major
wtf that was my exact reaction when i first saw this video cause i found tally hall from turn the lights off

This is possibly a mixture of the worst and best use of greenscreen and video editing I've ever seen. I hate it and love it, this is insanely chaotic, and it made me crave a fucking banana. Good job.

Lyrics:
Do you see Banana man
Hopping over on the white hot sand
Here he come with some for me
Freshly taken from banana tree
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Banana man, me want a ton
Give me double and a bonus one
Give me more for all me friends
Dis banana flow will never end
Do you want a banana?
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Tonight we dance around a flame
Then we get to play spirit game
Spirit names we shout out loud
Shake the thunder from the spirit cloud
All the songbirds in the tree
Chant a tune to let the spirits free
Then we see them in the night
Spirits jumpin' by the fire light
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Dis banana for you
Look you, you're too uptight you know
You can laugh and kick it back and go (weeeee!)
But without a rhythm or a rhyme
You do not banana all the time
Fly away from city on the run
Try to make a little fun
Look you, come to the bungalow
African't you tell me told you so
Don't you love the bumping of the drum
Make you shake until the bum go numb
Let the bongo play you till you drop
Dis banana never stop (never stop, never stop)
Forget all your troubles and go with the flow
Forget about whatever you may never know
Like whether whatever you are doing is whatever you should
And whether anything you do is ever anything good
And then forget about banana when it stick in your throat
And when they make you wanna bellow but you're stuck in a choke
And you forget about the yellow from the colorful man who make you take another one
And make a mock of your plan
Bungalay, Bungalow; make up your mind and tell me no
Well it's nine o'clock and it's getting dark
And the sun is falling from the sky
I've never left so early and you may wonder why
Tomorrow morning on the plane
No banana make you go insane
Floating back to busy town
No banana make you want to frown
Do you want a banana? (Do you want a banana?)
Peel it down and go mm mm mm mm
Do you want a banana?
Dis banana for you
Thanks Josuke
Thanks Yasuho's dog
Thanks josuke just dont forget to put the chair over the bed

Fun fact:the video was made before ross was the official drummer
Ohhh I was wondering why ross wasn't there
And also the grey bird is steve gallagher!
And if you look at the beginning, it says complete demos,
I was wondering why the grey bird was blonde 😭😭
Here’s the story:
A guy finds some bananas, they’re good.
He goes to Africa to have some more.
He heads back to Detroit, he doesn’t have any and is sad.
Moral of the story: can’t have shit in Detroit.
true story
Spirts chalking by the fire light
Holy shit I actually wasnt EXPECTING that that time
Especially bananas
There's a theory on the story, a businessman wanting to sell a banna plant to some people(supposedly from Africa because of the line Africant you tell me don't you so) they tell him to "go with the flow" and "you could have chchilled with us and we mabey would have bought it" and at the end they are mocking him with the line "no banna make you want to frown"
This theory was by a UA-cam I did not make it, I just wanted to spread it around

This took not only an initial idea, but an extensive process of production to accomplish. Someone fully committed to creating this. They didn't give up at any point of the process.
That's how Joe writes his songs
Fun fact the grey bird is played by the original drummer for the band Steve Gallagher
I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GREY BIRD!!
I didn't know that, no wonder I didn't recognize him LOL
The yellow bird is Rob Cantor, of Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf fame
@@ellpoyohlokoh he will always be of tally hall fame to me :)
so that's why he looked different
I still can’t tell if this video is trying to tell a story
Unless the story is a bad trip
Judging by the ending, it's about a an office worker who doesn't get vacation (bananas), and spends all day fantasizing about it. He goes to take out the trash-- bananas. He goes to a meeting-- bananas.
Where he says, "it's nine o'clock, and it's getting dark, [...] I've never left so early and you may wonder why," he's referring to all the work he probably doesn't get paid overtime for.
At the end he gives up. The part about having no banana on the plane back home is him telling himself that even if he got a vacation, it would be fleeting and he'd be back to the same inane routine all too soon.
There's no happy ending, as he's still strapped to the gurney by the finale. Work is driving him insane and all he can do is pretend the banana he has with lunch is a tropical getaway.
Or what another comment said, that the bananas are drugs and he overdoses at the end after getting fired. Either way, sad ending.
dont think about it too hard
@@dandynoble2875 gosh that makes sense
man goes bat shit crazy over a banana and starts hallucinating about a man who gives people bananas
