Banana Phone Fansite

Ever been driven crazy by a song before? Well, no offense to the artist, but chances are good it was a song written by Raffi.

The ultimate children’s singer at work today, Canadian-born performer Raffi has played to several generations of children to date, beginning with his work in the 1970’s and stretching up to today, as he still actively performs (and releases his work via his own company). And there are few songs Raffi has written as popular as Banana Phone.

As with most Raffi songs, Banana Phone makes little sense. And why should it? It’s about a phone that’s also a banana. Few children will care that it makes no sense, and consequently will probably also love the songs numerous puns and portmanteaus.

Raffi. Love him or hate him, you have to admit he’s made quite an impact on children worldwide. What a guy.
