Yes, We Have Only Bananas is Carl Hashmi’s playful tribute to the iconic novelty hit ”Yes! We Have No Bananas.” A humorous detour from his usual catalog, this track embraces melody, wit, and vintage charm — all with a knowing wink.
Yes, We Have Only Bananas is a lighthearted and lovingly crafted homage to the classic novelty song “Yes! We Have No Bananas”, originally popularized in the 1920s. With his signature blend of irony and charm, Carl Hashmi reimagines the spirit of the original for a modern audience — keeping the fun, adding fresh layers of interpretation, and wrapping it all in a melodic package that nods to both past and present.
While much of Carl’s recent catalog leans into introspection and emotional depth, this release shows another side: a moment of levity and play, a reminder not to take everything too seriously — at least not when bananas are involved. From the cheeky title to the bright vintage-inspired cover, Yes, We Have Only Bananas is a feel-good interlude in a discography that continues to surprise and evolve.
It’s a musical curveball — unexpected, amusing, and unmistakably human. From the tongue-in-cheek title to the retro-inspired artwork, Yes, We Have Only Bananas stands apart as a joyful interlude in the Mount Beate Music universe.
