Banapple Gas

in AlbumNumber

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas

Everybody's sniffing it Banapple gas

O-o alas!

All the world is stuck on it Banapple gas.

Does it do you good, make you better

Set you healthy when you're bed-tied?

Well I don't know if it makes you well...

But it must be healthy

'Cause it don't smell.

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas

Everybody's living on Banapple gas

O-o alas!

All the world is grooving on Banapple gas.

Do you know what goes inside to make it

What kind of strange spice makes it right?

Well I don't know what kind of spice

But it must be healthy 'cause it's sterilized.

Banapple gas...Banapple gas

Give me more Banapple gas

O-o...o-o-o

Does it help you smile more to wake up

Make you happy just to be alive?

Well I don't know if it makes you happy...

But it must be healthy

'Cause it's certified.

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas

All the world is breathing Banapple gas

O-o alas!

No one knows what's inside it Banapple gas

About this Song

Banapple Gas by Cat Stevens from the United Kingdom is a whimsical and light-hearted song that addresses the idea of escaping from reality through the metaphor of 'Banapple Gas', which can be interpreted as a playful euphemism for a type of fantasy or hallucinogenic experience. The repeating cheerful chorus and upbeat rhythm provide a contrast to the possible underlying theme of the search for relief from the mundane aspects of life. Key themes include escapism, fantasy, and the juxtaposition of reality with imagination. Particularly poignant moments are encapsulated in the lyrics that describe the allure and temporary joy of indulging in this whimsical escape, highlighting the human desire to break free from constraints and experience something extraordinary.
