Hot Bananas! I love this song and hope you do too. Everything about it was a lot of fun to make, including the video with @ericlemaire and @tuantrieu.
I stumbled upon the wobbly opening line while messing around with my synth. Crunchy guitars followed. The somewhat goofy lyrics were made up on the spot, just me mumbling along, trying to find something that fit the song. Usually I go back and re-write, but they seemed to fit well for this one. I don’t know how many times I sing “hot bananas”. I lost count.
Thanks to Gary Cotti for being a sounding board and for the creative input! Thanks very much to Ryan Boesch for the awesome mixing. He really brought this track alive.
If you like this, please tell your friends!
Follow Crash Cadet on Spotify and everywhere else! Thank you!!!!

lyrics
I’m going to the doctor
Because I’m barely breathing
I heard it on the radio
It’s a bad pollen season
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
I’m going to a rock show
To be a little normal
After all I’m just an animal
Scared of all the people
I’m going to the top row
All my friends are going
Apricot or indigo
All the colors showing.
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot bananas
Hot Bananas Hot bananas, Hot hot
