Harry Belafonte’s 1956 single “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” from the album Calypso is an adaptation of a vernacular Jamaican work song. This version of the song was adapted by Barbadian singer, Lord Burgess or Irving Burgie.

The song hearkens back to an era when the banana trade thrived in Jamaica before the predominance of banana republics. The call-and-response and repetition used in the song speak to the monotony of the work of loading bananas on ships in the Caribbean.

“Day-O” reached number 5 on the Billboard Charts in 1957, and remains a famous song cited in a number of more current pop culture references such as the possession scene in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice (1988) and Lil' Wayne’s “6 Foot 7 Foot.”

Listen Now I thought I knew what DNA was. I knew it carried genetic information. I'd seen the picture of the double-helix at least a hundred times. Imagine what it took for us to figure that out. And the shifts in perspective that that understanding made possible. But we have taken our understand...
