Wikipedia

  1. Banana Boat

    "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is a traditional Jamaican folk song. The song has mento influences, but "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" was 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 later recorded by Shirley Bassey.

    A banana boat, often simply referred to as a banana, is a type of unpowered watercraft that passengers can ride for recreational use. It is inflatable and typically yellow and large enough to seat several people. Its shape is similar to that of a banana, hence its name. The boat is usually towed by a speedboat, and riders use it for fun and thrill rather than for transportation.
