A Samples Favorite: Harry Belafonte's Banana Boat Song
Mama loved Harry Belafonte, and as a kid, I would always hear his music being played in our cassette tape (oh, those were the days!). This was the song that stood out from the rest, his classic Banana Boat Song.
I also remember this song since Tim Burton included it in a very funny yet classic scene in his movie Beetlejuice! That scene really made me go to the cinema and I just waited for it!
Nowadays, you can hear Harry's trademark "Day-O" in Jason Derulo's UK #1 hit, Don't Wanna Go Home. Jason decided to update this classic and reintroduce it to today's generation.
