Annotationen
Der surreale Text handelte unter anderem von einem Vibrator in Form einer Banane («Electrical banana», vor allem aber über jemanden, der cool und entspannt ist. Als der Song herauskam, kursierte in San Francisco das Gerücht, dass getrocknete Bananenschalen halluzinogen seien. Man nannte sie nach diesem Song.
