This 45 could never be released today. It's a novelty record about the daughter of a Mexican banana farmer who wanted to be a singer, and contains just about every stereotype imaginable. The chorus is loosely - and I do mean loosely - based on an aria from "Rigoletto." The only time I even heard a piece of the song before putting this blog together was when Dickie Goodman used a snippet in his cut-in record "Batman And His Grandmother." Dickie could be considered the father of sampling.
The Peels - Juanita Banana
