You Put the Lime in the Coke , you Nut, and Drink it all Up

The song on the commercial sounds like it is the original song by Doctor Hook. You put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together

Oh, it was a song, aaaaaaah...

I thought it was a funky cocktail recipe, lol!

Yes...I think you are right Jamie...I've never heard the original, but I do know that there IS an original...lol

lol, IG....well, maybe you can get creative and make up a lime coconut cocktail? Let me know if you do....

Oh, whenever I see that commercial it makes me laugh. I really dig it. It is a song as as you have all discovered, a song I really like too. They've featured it in quite a few movies, none I can remember the name of right now but it's a very popular song!

Thanks for the Lyrics, LW...maybe I'll memorize them sometime...you know...to add to the songs I sing in the shower... lol

Serenity, this commercial is actually the first time I have heard the song....I only found out it was an old song when ppl told me...I evven hear ppl saying Kermit the frog sang it once ...lol

I caught myself singing it at work....it's quite a catchy tune.

lol...my five yeard old niece came over to visit me yesterday....she was singing and dancing to it...

I LOVE Dr. Hook and the Travelling Medicine Show. Not the least of which because he sang so many Shel Silverstein songs. But I gotta admit, my favorite version of the song was the Muppets with Kermit and the Witch Doctor.

(singing Dr. Hook) Got a freaky ole lady named Cocaine Katy,
Who embroiders all of my jeans,
And my dear ole dad with his grey mustache,
Drivin' my limousine,
And it's all designed to blow your mind,
But your mind ain't really blown......

Till you've gotta thrill like the thrill I got,
on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Rolling stone.........on Rolling stone........

Dannii Minogue has also done a dance cover of it which is simply called "Coconut"

It's one of those songs that I don't even like which I find himself humming.

Great commercial, though.

Spc, I'd like to hear the Kermit version ...wonder where I can find it.
Dusk, is Danni related to Kylie? (kid sis?)...yeah, I find myself singing along with it, too...lol

Spc, I'd like to hear the Kermit version

I've got it on the Time-Life muppets collection. (I think it's still available.) All old shows(Henson and Oz) not the cheesy sell outs that came out after henson died.

Can't remember the specific episode or the guest star, but I think Kermit's being treated by a witch doctor after being fired out of a cannon into Statler and Waldorf's box.

lol...sounds funny

LW: "Favorite Dr. Hook Song, (lyrics by shel silverstein) FREAKER'S BALL"

Okay, now I want to hear that song as well...lol...interesting lyrics

If you like dr. hook, you might want to check out some of Shel Silverstein's (you know, the kid's poet) adult (very much so in some cases) songs that he wrote. He wrote a lot of Dr. Hook's stuff, as well as Johnny Cash's A Boy Named Sue.

There's a site devoted to his stuff here.Link

Coconut song in the Muppet Show is in the Kenny Rogers episode.
Here is the link for the complete episode guide:

Cooool...Thanks Spc and CH...gotta check those links out!

I LOVE that song, and it pisses me off that I can't find it for download! I can't stop singing it! Coca Cola has really gotten to me now, they've made a song I am completely obsessed with. Haha, sad, I know..

Does ANYONE know where I can download or at least LISTEN to it? My email is [email protected] ... please, if you can assist me, I would love you forever!

InBloom,

Dannii Minogue is Kylie's little sister. Dannii's version of "Coconut" is like a dance song.

Mandy, you may want to try Adtunes.com. They list current commercials and the CD's they are from.

thanks, Dusk...I kinda figured...duh me lol

Mandy, I gotta admit it is a catchy tune..lol

There is a children's book that Shel wrote that I love....it is the Giving Tree. It is one of the few books that have actually made me tear up...

Its the Best Ever!!!!
