Going Bananas

Liner Notes

Shag on the interior. Cheeto dust on the wheel. A road trip to the beach. An untrustworthy narrator. A rarefied air.

Took about hour and half. Had the idea to layer a bunch of tracks to make it sounds confused and distorted but feel it missed the mark. The song feels recycled. I thought the song had some merit but not super happy with the output as the theme seems off. Pieces to work with.

Lyrics

g
Going bananas, going bannas
c d
shopping at walmart in my pajams

pattern is pink , polka dot panda

around my neck, a too tight bandana

brand new shoes decked out in flannel

buying donughts and skipping my classes

taking a road trip, down to savana

fear and loathing on lcd panels

c d
Monkey see monkey do
got an empty cup down at the zoo
hoping around from town to town
put me in the cages with the kangroos

going bananas , going bananas

vision only seeing in panorama

talking to friends but their just phantoms

at the funeral home doing tik tok dances

and they hate us cause they aint us

[chorus]

[bridge]

d c g
this little monkey might have smoked a few

this little monkey thoughts might a flew (so high)

some people might tell you it's taboo

i'm hoping you aint thinking like they do

going bananas

dodging the pigs, you know i've passed a few

hope i don't come down making it to you

going bananas

going bananas

Fun song that for me is about the dangers of social contagion. The multiple voices feel like they can be the chatter inside my own head or all the people on the internet agreeing with each other. I’m not much of a keyboard warrior, but this might be another good one for my phone to play for me whenever I get to scrolling.

contrary to your liner notes, this song is great. the melody is perfect for the theme and the lyrics are hilariously spot on in describing this monkey world of ours. its catchy and fun.
