You put the lime in the coconut and drink'em both together

Hey, lieu, if you’re a fan, you need to go to this website!

These are the people who put on the Harryfests. Everything Harry in one convenient little jade box.

Yeah, that’s it … I was making a joke. Yeah.

Man, I hate it when I’m stupid and wrong. Which is most of the time, but still …

Greenback, that lyrics site may claim the lyrics are “when a sport was a sport,” but I’ll never be convinced that’s what he’s actually saying. It’s gotta be “when a smoke was a smoke.”

Dolores Reborn, feel free to mock me most mercilessly now.

Thanks. Duly bookmarked. I was just being sloppy in my cover descriptions. Badfinger Straight Up was the third album I ever bought.

Now if I can just get lucky enough to catch this commercial. Apparently I’m the only one who hasn’t seen it yet.

I agree with you Sauron but I found three other sites that claim “sport” as well.

Recording studio ad lib?

I’ve listened to the whole song now and I can’t figure out of drinking the Coke with lime will give me de belly ache or make me feel bedda.

We’ll know when you call me in the mornin’, Biggirl.

That song always makes me smile, and then it always makes me think of the drinking scene in Practical Magic. :slight_smile:

It is audio only, but I see you I Love Egg and raise you one William Shatner “sining” Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Kids love the Lime in the Coconut song. Even before the commercial, I’d play it for kids who visit me; it gets them all happy and silly and dancing around. I love the song. I love the commercial (I’ll actually rewind to watch it a second time). And I have always drunk my Coke with lime.
So there.

I’ll tell you how my version of an instant Cuba Libre went.

Ingredients:

1 12 oz can of Diet Coke with Lime
Some amount of Admiral Nelson (yeah, I spared no expense there :rolleyes: ) but I don’t know how much, because I just pour some into my cup without using a shotglass or anything like that. I’d ballpark it at about four shots.
A bunch of ice from my earlier soda.

Result: Too much soda, not enough rum. Though I don’t think you’re supposed to use spiced rum to begin with. Not bad, but I still like Captain Morgan and Diet Pepsi Vanilla better.

See, if they screened that ad in Australia, it wouldn’t make me want to get a Coke, it would make me want to watch Reservoir Dogs again.

I don’t tip, I don’t believe in it…"

Thank you! Yes, the mood of the song will acquire a whole new meaning when you watch that film (though that’s where I heard it first). You won’t have coke on your mind, you will have a violent mexican stand-off and pools of blood in your nuggin’. Fun.

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was,
and they’ll continue singing it forever just because…

My evil husband just had his evil boss call me at work and sing that evil coconut song at me. Of course he knows, this means war.

I wonder if I can talk my cops into surrounding their building and blasting “Bad Boys” over their loudspeakers.

I thought he was saying “spoke”.

Nice going, CocaCola, for releasing a commercial that blatantly insults its viewers. :dubious: And to use something that just about qualifies as a song (IMO) in the process. It must be about time to bring back the “liquid ass” sig line. :smiley:

But do you get the terrible blinding heacaches when they stop playing?

I love the Manama Song!
