  • "Coconut" is a calypso written and first recorded by Harry Nilsson. The third single from his 1971 album, Nilsson Schmilsson, it reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and it features three distinct characters (the narrator, the sister, and the doctor) all sung in different voices by Nilsson. The song is perhaps best remembered for its chorus lyric, "Put the lime in the coconut, and drink 'em both up." It has appeared in many films, commercials, and in episodes of The Simpsons and ChalkZone. It was also used in a comedy skit on The Muppet Show, which featured Kermit the Frog in a hospital bed. Cover versions of the song have been recorded by The Baha Men, The Muppets, Jimmy Buffett, Fred Schneider, Lazlo Bane, Sprung Monkey and, according to a Nilsson website, the Alice Cooper Band . The song was also famously used in a 2006 ad campaign for Coca Cola, advertising their Diet Coke with Lime product. (en)
