My brother has a crazy thing for weird, catchy songs. A very crazy thing, and when he laughs his loud, booming laugh of insanity, it's hard not to join in.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring / Banana phone / Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring / Banana phone / I've got this feeling, so appealing, / for us to get together and sing. Sing! / Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring / Banana phone / Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding donana phone / It grows in bunches, I've got my hunches, / It's the best! Beats the rest! / Cellular, modular, interactivodular!" ~Raffi's "Banana Phone"

"Charlie you look quite down / With your big sad eyes / And your big fat frown / The world doesn't have to be so gray / Charlie when your life's a mess / When your feeling blue / Or are in distress / I know what can wipe that sad away / All you have to do is / Put a banana in your ear (a banana in my ear?) / Put a ripe banana into your favorite ear / It's true (says who?) / So true / Once it's in your gloom will disappear / The bad in the world is hard to hear / When in your ear a banana cheers / So go and put a banana in your ear." ~Charlie the Unicorn's "Put a Banana in Your Ear"
