Posted on April 9, 2014 by Marian Allen

Harry Belafonte? Yes, Harry Belafonte. It’s Food Day on my blog, so I’m posting about Harry Belafonte. Because: The Banana Boat Song. Obviously.

And what food does The Banana Boat Song make me think of? Shrimp cocktail, of course.

  Agreed, Cathy! And what a sweet smile he has! He broke my heart in Carmen Jones, and I’ve loved him ever since. 🙂

I love that scene from Beetlejuice – it is so inspired :). Muppets always make things even better, so great song; enhanced 🙂

  So many good scenes in that movie, but this one is possibly my favorite. 😀 And the Muppets Christmas Carol is one of the best!
