[@bobfunkhouse1161]

Adriana's Choreography has been unique for over 40 years some of the best live shows I've ever seen!

As a child growing up, I was mesmerised by their beauty. Still am 😍 Their effort is incredible.

[@mightyV444]

@@GazzaAyrton - I was the opposite as a child 😅 I was more into Hard 'n Heavy at the time, and this kind of music and its presentation wasn't really my cuppa - But it suddenly _was_ when I watched one of their videos two years ago YT had recommended me! 😁👍

[@CommodusSPQR]

There's a lot of talent and hard work there. Kudos to the singer dancers!

This is great. And it shows clearly how little space the Coconuts had available to them, in live situations. Literally standing room only. And they still made space for each other. That's show business!

I've seen them twice live. I'm not surprised and the amount of energy of this rehearsal, as their shows reflect a professional level that you see in this rehearsal. Thank you for letting me into this world. I hope all of these musicians and singers got paid equal amounts for this rehearsal time. $$$ To my knowledge, Darnell paid well.

Those ladies earned their money. Excellent post. - 'ono-mato, onomatopoeia' - brilliant

[@benwinkel]

What does it mean?

[@TAttiusMaximvs]

@@benwinkel - Google describes it better than I can 'Onomatopoeia (pronounced ˌ'AH-nuh-mah-tuh-PEE-uh') refers to words whose pronunciations imitate the sounds they describe. A dog's bark sounds like “woof,” so “woof” is an example of onomatopoeia.'

[@benwinkel]

@@TAttiusMaximvs Thanks for explaining Max, i really didn't know. But how is that relevant to this song?

[@TAttiusMaximvs]

@@benwinkel - As far as I know there is no 'official' explanation on why the word is used as a backing vocal (or not one that I have come across, anyway). Except that it is quite neat to use the word that defines a word that sounds like a sound, as the sound itself. I would imagine that the question must have ben asked many times over the years however! EDIT ... OK, I have just checked more specifically on Google and found this - Kid Creole And The Coconuts', "Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy" The Misheard Lyrics: o-no, o-no, onomatopoeia The Real Lyrics: I don't, I don't, I don't want to be your (x8) So what we need now is for Adriana, Taryn, Cheryl or (obviously) August, etc to notice this thread and give us the definitive answer on the matter :)
