What the heck if anybody's got the lyrics to this thing....
My 10yr old daughter has been asking me for the lyrics to a song I
don't know the name of but goes "Put the lime in the cocconut..."
Any help out there on this one.
thanks,
Brian

Hmmm, some weird voice in the back of my brain is insisting that
it was a Harry Nilson song. Don't know if you should trust the
voice, though.

Use the voice, Hal! It was indeed, Harry Nilson. I think the LP title
might have been "Nilson, Shmilson" or something like that -- too many
bramaged dane cells in that area to be sure...

Is it safe to admit I actually own this album?
I'll check to see if the words are on the jacket.

Yes, I admit to still owning the "Nilson Smilson" album though
it hasn't been out of the jacket for some time. I better flip
it before it melts. 8-)
Another decent song on the album is "Jump into the fire".

I checked my "Nilsson Schmilsson" album last night and there
are no words printed for 'Coconut'. However, the words in
reply .199 look right.

"The Coconut Song" is also on Nilson's "Songwriter" album; I spotted a
CD of it at Tower Records in Boston on Saturday.

It's on RCA-BMG, the cover is basically "Nilson" at the top and "SONGWRITER"
across the middle. I wrote down the catalog number, but don't have it
with me at the moment.

Coconut was also the closing song to the recently released movie
Reservoir Dogs.

I am deeply saddened.
If anyone had told me a few years back that I would outlive both
John Lennon and Harry Nilsson... sheesh..

we never thought we'd grow older

Dustin Hoffman took a little time out during his speech on Comic Relief
VI, observing that this was the 20-odd anniversary of the release of
Midnight Cowboy, and that Harry Nillson, the man that wrote
"Everybody's Talkin'" had just passed away, and call for a moment to
remember him. Very classy.

Yeah, but Harry only *sang* the tune, he didn't write it. I believe
the honor belongs to Fred Neil.
Funny, Harry didn't write "Without You" either, Pete Ham did. Sheesh,
a writer whose two best-known songs are covers. Oh well...sad to see
him go anyway.

Just picked up the new 2-disc set "Personal Best - The
Harry Nilsson Anthology" (RCA). The sound quality is
superb. Liner notes (booklet) containing photos and
an article (abbreviated from its appearance in Goldmine
just after Harry's passing).
More after I listen to it for a while. My first impression
is they did a decent job of aiming for mass-market appeal
while also giving collectors something. If you were to
buy just one Nilsson album, this would be an excellent choice.
