For this weeks's theme song, in honor of my guardian angel, Angel Cohn, I present you with a TwoPperific (and slightly shortened) filk of "The Banana Boat" song, which (I hope) conveys my feelings about recapping HIMYM versus recapping Lost, these days. Ahem.
Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go bed Day, me say day, me say day, me say day Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go bed
Work all night on a drink a wine Daylight come and me wan' go bed HIMYM sucks; Lost is extra fine! Daylight come and me wan' go bed
Come, Madame Editor give me an extension Daylight come and me wan' go bed Come, Madame Editor give me an extension Daylight come and me wan' go bed
Lost: flash sideways, car crash, kiss, punch Daylight come and me wan' go bed HIMYM: no better than The Brady Bunch Daylight come and me wan' go bed
Day, me say day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go bed Day, me say day, me say day, me say day Daylight come and me wan' go bed
A beautiful bunch of Lostaways Daylight come and me wan' go bed Don’t care about Your Mother these days Daylight come and me wan' go bed
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go bed Day, me say day, me say day, me say day Day, me say day, me say day....ay-ay-o Daylight come and me wan' go bed
And for those of you who have grown fond of video links (or for the very young among you who don't know "The Banana Boat Song") here's some audio-visual assistance.
For posterity: Harry Belafonte (oh, so beautiful) and The Muppets perform "The Banana Boat Song" on The Muppet Show.
And since you've been such good sports about my filk, here's a bonus video:
For posterity: That's "The Banana Boat Song" from the dinner scene in Beetlejuice.
'Til next time, I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping HIMYM gets better or I get over it. Cheers.
"Pictures Or It Didn't Happen," my review and recaplet of How I Met Your Mother, episode 5-18, "Say Cheese" is up at TWoP. I'm working on the full recap, now.
