LOL, Here is another request to not play "Harry Nilsson - Coconut".

FWIW, I believe this song is on the Up in Smoke soundtrack. Considering how much I like the Up in Smoke soundtrack and RadioParadise, but don't like this song then it must be that this song has some non obvious benefit.

Could it be that this this songs sucks so bad that it makes the other songs on RP and the soundtrack better than they actually are?

Hey Bill,

Please add me to the ever increasing list of RP listeners that DO NOT ever want to hear this again! It's a cycle: the more you play it, the more the DO NOT play list grows.

I uploaded quite a good version on the LRC by the Beautiful South, so vote, people!

Delightful.

Gonna go make one right now.

Weak song, which does (I think) a dis-service to an otherwise great songwriter. Please drop this song from the playlist and replace it with pretty much anything else he wrote

INteresting introduction Bill.
And my wife heard the opening bars and yelled Turn It Up...
Now she is singing along.
Should I be frightened?

Ahh, screw it, it is Saturday eve.

Don't listen to those Nilsson haters! They hate our freedom! (I give this song a "9"! )

Silly fun song by an incredibly gifted man.

As performed by the muppets

Relieve this flipper ache...

The only problem with Coconut is that it displaces all the other excellent Nillson songs, like "Gotta Get Up", "Early in the Morning", or "Jump into the Fire". Especially Jump into the Fire.

"Everybody's Talkin" would be nice.

Play this and any of Harry's songs as much as you want Bill !!!
How about "Remember (Christmas)" "Early In The Morning" "The Moonbeam Song"?

I did not expect this song to be sung by someone that looked like him.... Ahh, I am always learning.

LOL If this is his personal best, as the album cover touts, my sympathies to him and to us. Judging the book (album) by its cover, he faired no better in the personal appearance category. I will say that on a humorous level, he gets some points from me. Unfortunately for him, I don't think it was what he was shooting for. Ouch.

This song is classic!

It's also the last song in the soundtrack to Resevoir Dogs. Doctor is there something I can take to relieve this belly ache, indeed!

Are you serious?

Harry is a national treasure.

Check out the tribute CD "Everybody Loves Harry", very cool.

If you're going to play Nilsson... how about "Blanket For A Sail"? I sang that one to my daughter every night for years.

I dunno - The Be Good Tanyas' When Doves Cry is making a run for most "unrequested" song!

I never heard this one before. It's rather silly but fun and enjoyable.

And is this really the song with the most requests for having it never played again? I think of seen more hated ones.

I agree! Music does not have to taken seriously ALL the time!!!

Someone needs to do a dance remix of this.
