La Cucaracha?

No, not a Spanish folk song, but a Caribbean folk song.

Tally me Banana?

I knew that "Caribbean" wasn't a hint, 'cause most people don't know (although the Bahamas are part of the lyrics). And maybe it is a triangle that was used for that long high tone. Well, at least I always want to sing along whenever I only hear that single (high) tone.

Triangle? Maybe Harry " Pythagoras" Belafonte?

Supertramp Long Way Home ? ... wrong note and wrong octave, but the other ones were messed up, as well. (B5 is in 2/2 not 4/4 ; Smoke's off by an octave)

Good note sheets are hard to find, and usually, also depend on the instrument. Could be that I erased the missing octave because it was hard to see on the screenshot.

And the Bahamas already occur in line 3. Long Way Home isn't a folk song.

Beach Boys, Kokomo?

Beach Boys, Kokomo?

It doesn't start with a full note.

 

[fresh_42]

Delete the extension before listening.

The original Star Trek theme...?

Beach Boys, Kokomo?

... and nobody dares to link the cover version!

I don't understand why people regularly complain that we do not discuss their personal speculations. We have a science fiction forum!

Could be like this:

Thank you. Thought maybe it was a new fashion and , as usual, I was out of the loop. These Z kids today wearing #$% helmets. Fake aside: that's why Germany's former PM, Helmet Kohl got his name.

I know it sounds like nonsense but exporting data from X to Y does not always come out the same is importing in Y from X. Kind of large difference when using SQL, Excel.

 

[Ibix]

The old Excel looks-like-a-date bug?

Precisely. At least my 2007-10 version. Opposite direction with SQL Server Wizard exporting was, has been all along, much easier.

Good. I want to go home. I want to go home, I feel so broke up, I want to go home.

Is it originally theirs?

I read that it is a Caribbean folk song, but I don't remember whether the entire song or only the tune.

After being wiped out financially in his divorce, Robert DeNiro is now called Robert" No Tengo" DeNiro.

Why are some Californians singing so many songs about the Caribbean? How about the other one: Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take her, Bermuda, Banana , common pretty mama ...( can't remember the name of the song). Not enough interesting things going on in Cali?

Kokomo. Seems so. At least a lot fewer islands.

I never heard of any island called Kokomo. It is the name of a town, in, I think, Indiana. Even stranger. Guess all that stuff they smoked?

Kokomo is a pop song by The Beach Boys. It appeared in 1988 as a single on Elektra Records and is part of the soundtrack to the movie Cocktail. Filming locations: mainly Canada, NYC, and Jamaica. At least a bit of a justification.

To make it even stranger, Jamaica ( Queens) is part of NYC. But it seems it originates from a local tribe called Jamaeka or something like that. Edit: But maybe the BB were sampling the merchandise from ' Cocktail'.

 

[WWGD]

BTW, I think the BBs are still playing, orcat least did some reunion shows. Some band had one " Hell Froze Over", but I think it was not them.
