Music Appreciation (A Retrospect)
Day O
, or The Banana Boat Song
, is a traditional Jamaican folk song about dock workers working at night loading bananas onto ships before daylight. The song was made popular by Harry Belafonte 
in the 1950s.
The calypso song regained popularity in the 1980s with the movie Beetlejuice
.
Where I was in 1988? I was about 12 or 13 when the movie came out. I recall going to the movie theater with friends to watch it. Soon after the movie, I remember going to Wal-Mart and purchasing the soundtrack.
