Coconut. Harry Nilsson. (1972)

Coconut. Harry Nilsson. (1972) with lyrics on screen. Sweet coconuts and juicy, tangy limes. Make my belly ache just thinking about it!

[Hilts]

This song brings back the memory of sitting in the end of year exam at high school and someone at the back, in the heavy silence and concentration that goes with a big exam, says loudly ''Now let me get this straight, you put the lime in the coconut...'' and the whole exam had to be postponed because we were practically inconsolable.

OMG wife had an upset stomach all night, so we went to the grocery store today, and she bought limes and I almost lost it in the grocery Brazil, she had never hear this song before but I was rolling in the

Only a genius like Harry Nilsson could take a C7 guitar chord and make a masterpiece out of

Fun fact. Due to a clerical error within the gov't this song was Canada's official national anthem for 3 weeks in August 1974 until, oddly enough, the mixup was spotted by actor Pat John who played Jessie on The Beachcombers.

It's amazing what can be done on only one chord.

I was in an accident and was headed back to emergency surgery. I said “I think I’m ok, I’m just kinda scared”. Anesthesia, surgeons, techs, nurses started singing this to me as my meds kicked in while they were pushing me down the hall. Turns out I was kicking the bucket. The team saved my life with a sense of humor. Shout out to St. Luke’s in KC.

This was one of my favorite songs in 1972. Until BONES this week, I haven't thought about it THANKS SWEETS.

This song never gets old and always makes me laugh. I was just diagnosed with crohns and couldn't get this song out of my head. Maybe I need to eat more coconuts.

I remember, I heard this song, after decades of not hearing it, on the radio, and I kept singing it, and my little sister asked me what I was singing. I told her and she accused me of making the song up, that there couldn't possibly be a song like that, and I said, I swear, it was a popular song in 1970 or 71, and she still didn't believe me. Years later, I was driving to my mom's house, and just as I pulled into the driveway, the song came on on the radio, so, I called her up on my cellphone and told her that song was on this specific radio station and to turn on her radio at work so she could listen to it. She just happened to be driving around due to some work related appointments and she said she was listening to it, and she laughed her head off at how silly it was. She also accused me of making up Barbara Mandrell's, "You Can Eat Crackers in My Bed", too, UNTIL she heard it!! LOL!!

I think more than 80% of viewers of this are here only because of Bones...me too and i know that’s not real but rest in peace Sweets and Nigel Murray

[vampirecaptain]

Literally here listening to the song because of Vincent Nigel Murray and Dr Lance sweets R.I.P. (Bones)

[tanianicollemartinezvazque]

My heart broke when Dr. Sweets passed away, I can't with that 😞

[madisonzuege]

Lance and Nigel were my favorite characters in bones. (Also Finn and Wendall) I bawled my eyes out. We're rewatching the show. We had just seen the episode where Lance passes, so sad. Listening to this makes me feel better. 😢

[barbaraparungao]

My daughter and I used to dance around to this song when she was little. Since then she’s even told me she wants this song played at my funeral😂

[js-]

Bones…Miss both Sweets and Nigel Murray. They were very lovable characters. Love the show even after all these years
