TOP TEN SONGS - BANANA DANCE

All I can say is I LOVE GUACAMOLE! Who would have thought that a silly camp song would turn into a YouTube hit with teenagers? I realize that they are making fun of me, but if I make them smile and give them a happy memory of their own childhoods then it's all good!

The "Banana Dance" was so popular that we made variations for Halloween and Christmas.
