LIME AND COCONUT- HARRY NILSSON- CLASSIC RARE FOOTAGE
Музыка
This is one of the most bizarre pieces of musical footage I personally have ever seen. This is a true classic from a true legend Harry Nilsson better known for his Nilsson Schilsson days. This is from the footage BBC SPECIAL 1971

Saw this back in 1971, made me laugh then, still does today! Harry Nilson was so talented, he never got the recognition that he deserved, Still love his music!
My veterinarian's receptionist put me on hold this morning and this song was playing. I lost it. 🤣🤣

Remember listening to this in high skool. They don't write music like this anymore , tragic.
I love the fact that even though this is a background track, not a live recording, Harry is doing his best to play that guitar with ape-suit fingers. He's even alternating the bass fingering with the C7 chord.
Harry Nilsson was the bomb....hands down one of the most brilliant song writers that never got the 'fame', but in a way....maybe that is just the way he wanted it.

It was the way he wanted it. So much so it was a blow to his career. Executives would tell him their direction and he'd the other way 😆 The man was famous enough to hang out with the Beatles after the fact, made a movie with Ringo and he and John teamed up on an album that John produced. I'd say he was where he wanted to be. He even protested against guns and gun violence after John was murdered. N🥺w that's a friend

Please watch the documentry on Harry Nilsson , i just watched it last week :) i had No idea he sang this and so many others including , My Best Friend woo you will love him more than you do now . He absolutly wanted to be under the radar he did Not want to do Concerts
I have a greater appreciation of this song than when I first heard it as a teenager. ;It was always a groovy tune, but now into my 60's, I can grab the feeling of the words and tune so much better. Thanks for posting. Brings back many memories of singing this in a group. LOL!

I caught the tail end of this song the other day and realized I hadn't heard it for at least 30 years. I didn't mind though because although this song is fun, it wears on my nerves after the 10th time. Listening to it right now and I'm smiling, but if I play it too many times, I'll need to put the lime in the coconut to stop from barfing.

this similar sketch of the "nairobi trio" is a tribute to ernie kovacs ...... (had his own tv show in late 50's and early 60's) .... both nilsson and kovacs left this earth way too early!
well done footage
Love how the wooden spoon breaks. The rest is great.
Too cool. Better than the original, with more vocal harmonies, and piano is good! Wouldn't you love to jam with them?
I REMEMBER walking to high school yes we walked up hill in the snow both ways back then . eating my stop at the bakery brownie singing this song and laughing with my friends WITH all of us singing it . ... funny how so little of a writtten song can become such a hit ... i still use that line over the years a couple million times are more . poeple today just look at u with WHAT ..
Awesome!
Still one of the BEST fun videos ever !!!!

Never heard this insanely catchy song until a few nights ago, when we watched Reservoir Dogs. After everyone is dead at the end except for Mr Pink (sorry if I gave it away for anyone who hasn't seen that fab film), Tarantino has this as the play out music. What a wacky, brilliant man he is. Another must-see is the Muppets' version...
