Loving That Yellow Fruit

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90548) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Nov

The yellow fruit I’m referring to is the banana. It has even been sung about, and if at all it’s possible to believe, I discovered ten songs sung about this fruit, but the list didn’t include one of my favorites, a song from 1923,...
