My Choice - Kids: Yes, Sir, We Have No Bananas

"Yes! We Have No Bananas" is the title of a novelty song by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn from the 1922 Broadway revue Make It Snappy. The song became a major hit in 1923 (placing number 1 for five weeks) when it was recorded by Billy Jones, Arthur Hall, Irving Kaufman, and others. It was covered later by Benny Goodman and his Orchestra, Spike Jones & His City Slickers, and many more. It is one of the top songs of the 20th century. It also inspired a follow-up song,
A banana shortage caused by a banana blight in Brazil is usually suggested as the inspiration for the song. The town of Lynbrook on Long Island, New York, claims the songwriters composed it there and that the catchphrase "Yes! We have no bananas" was coined by Jimmy Costas, a local Greek American greengrocer. However, a 1923 article in the Chicago Tribune stated that the phrase originated in Chicago in 1920. Cartoonist Thomas A. Dorgan (1877--1929) is also credited with inventing and/or popularizing the phrase.
