Billy Jones - Yes, We Have No Bananas download song

In the early 1920s, a fungal disease which afflicted bananas spread across South and Central America. The disease, known as Panama disease, became so pervasive that banana shortages became widespread. The shortages were so widespread that Musicians Frank Silver and Irvin Cohn wrote this song in which a fruit stand vendor repeatedly informs his customers they have no bananas today.

Now I’m playing this in band. And yes, we have no bananas today!

The Simpsons brought me here

My Dad, born in 1921 loved to sing this song, perhaps it was his lullaby

I find this appealing ;)

History guy brought me here...

ok your wrong the copy right of this song expired this year not in 2013they had every right to claim the videoalso the amount of time is not exactly as simple as a number so do more research before you claim fraud

Math teacher sent this to our whole class on the last day; we had a kid that kept on bringing bananas to class in a metal container rather than just in the pell like a normal person

Just an fyi to the poster of this video, it is 90 years from original publishing in the u.s., not 75. This song just hit public domain jan1, 2019. It has been like 20 years since a copyright expired due to time limit instead of being allowed to expire

We need a metal cover version of this

Makes me remember my dad, he always used to sing this... such a showman.

You need to look up Ivor Cutler, especially "a doughnut in my hand"

The February 12, 1924 concert by Paul Whiteman at New York’s Aeolian Hall was billed as “An Experiment in Modern Music.” As reported by New York Times critic Olin Downes, who attended the event, “the concert was referred to as ‘educational,’ to show the development of this type of music [jazz].” and while the playlist shows "Yes! We have no bananas" being performed The concert is now best remembered for being the setting for the world premiere of Rhapsody in Blue, with composer George Gershwin at the piano. As Times critic John S. Wilson wrote in 1987, “this concert is today considered a defining event of the Jazz Age and the cultural history of New York City.”

Finally entered the public domain as of New Years.
