Richard Berry wrote “Louie Louie” in 1955, and his band RIchard Berry and the Pharaohs released the first recording of the song in 1957. Berry based it on the latin "El Loco Cha Cha" by Rene Touzet, but also wanted a calypso rhythm to his song. So the Calypso Dans got together to see what a calypso version would sound like.

This song was written by Jeff Moss and first performed by Jim Henson on Sesame Street. Single bananas don’t grow — they grow in bunches. My video features harp, of course, but also a banana piano. Yes, they are real bananas, and they can be played because they are hooked up to a special synthesizer that recognizes a different note for each banana. The eight bananas on my banana piano grew together.

Lord Funny’s (Donric Williamson) humorous and sweet calypso song of childhood remembrance. Performed by the Four Harps of the Apocolypso. Sounds like a joke — a harp guitar‚ mouth harp‚ jaw harp‚ and a harp walk into a bar…

Harry Nilsson’s 1972 “Coconut”. The cause of a bellyache is also the cure. How often have we all heard doctors say, “Drink ‘em both down and call me in the morning”? It’s fun on harp, though!
