Doreen, he's refering to a song called "Mellow Yellow" by the song writer Donovan (I put in bold the part about the electrical banana) :

I'm just mad about Saffron
Saffron's mad about me
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me

{Refrain}
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

I'm just mad about Fourteen
Fourteen's mad about me
I'm just mad about Fourteen
She's just mad about me

{Refrain}

Born high forever to fly
Wind velocity nil
Wanna high forever to fly
If you want your cup our fill

{Refrain}

(So mellow, he's so yellow)

Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase

They call it mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

Saffron -- yeah
I'm just mad about her
I'm just mad about Saffron
She's just mad about me

{Refrain}

(Oh so yellow, oh so mellow)

Thanks for clarifying that, paxx. I have heard of Donovan, and I'm familiar with Mellow Yellow, but I didn't know that he was the song writer. I also didn't recall the line about the electrical banana. It all makes sense now .. well, as much sense as electrical bananas can make.

/me wonders if Fourteen is a persons name or if Donovan had something in common with Jerry Lee Lewis.

Donovan is one of the greatest song writers and performers!
He's latest work, was out at 1996 with the name "Sutras". I don't know if he has a newer work, but I know that he is still very good as he was in the beginning.

**Needless to say**, there was a "smokey" halo following me around last night, and I was listening to old "60's" tunes.....I also really had the munchies.

Maybe I should stay away from the 'puter when I'm like that!
