Interpretation:Darryl: Okay. This one's a no-brainer. The guy's working all night loading bananas and he can't wait to get off work. End of story.Jerry: My ass it's a no brainer! This song most definitely has something to do with porn. I believe the term is fluffer. Darryl: WHAT!?!? Okay, I can't wait to hear this one. Jerry: Well, the fluffer part is all summed up in the comment "Come, Mister tally man, tally me banana." Only a child would think they are talking about fruit. Darryl: Apparently this porn experience isn't a good one? After all, he keeps saying he wants to go home. And what in Hades does "fluffer" mean? Jerry: Apparently you've never heard of continued vasocongestion of the testicles also, not so lovingly, known as "Blue Balls". Being a porn star is a lot of hard work! As for "fluffer" my naive friend, a fluffer's job in the porn industry is to keep the porn star's manhood erect between scenes. Darryl: Aahhhh. I hate to say that I have actually heard of a fluffer. I don't know if I ever knew the technical term, however, oh porn guru. I know I'm going to regret this, but what do you suppose is the meaning of, "Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch"? And what unspeakable act does the black tarantula indicate? Jerry: I actually had made a slight mistake in my syntax earlier. When I said being a porn star was hard work I actually meant being in the porn industry is hard work. It's extraordinarily hard work if you are a fluffer which is the basis of this whole song. Let me break it down for you so you can understand. This fluffer has been working all day doing what he does. He has to drink to blur out the fact that his life is disgusting but this night he only had one drink of rum which isn't quite enough to make him able to ignore what he is doing. He has three guys he has to simultaneously fluff, so he lines them up by size. When I mean size I mean height, not the length of their third leg. This IS porn, but eight feet, I think not... Anyway, he goes down the row of guys, fluffs and starts over, the whole time wanting to go home. The Tarantula and Black Widow are two of the most common tattoos for male porn stars and it disturbs the fluffer quite a bit, hence him trying to hide it. Does that clear it up for you? Darryl: Wow. I never knew. I understand this song so much better now. NOT!!! You're a sick puppy, Jerry! Get some mental help before it's too late!! Jerry: You are one of those people that sticks your hand on a hot stove burner and fails to learn that you shouldn't stick your hand on a hot stove burner. When will you realize that I am always right, especially when it comes to porn! I can sense a porn reference from a mile away, and this entire song is a huge porn reference! Darryl: I'm awfully glad I didn't know your feelings about this song when I saw Harry Belafonte sing it with the Muppets. When he looked at Kermit and Fozzie and sang about a "Beautiful bunch of ripe bananas" I would have been ill. Jerry - Summary: THAT SICK BASTARD!!! |
