“Yes! We Have No Bananas” by the Green Brother's Novelty Band 1923
Vocalist: George Wilton Ballard
Edison DD 51177-R

A crazy song that caught on not only in the United States, but all around Europe as well. It is a silly song, but does contain an appealing chorus that likely explains its popularity. I like this version better than most because at least half of it is instrumental.

From the Notorious Meddler Blog:
George Wilton Ballard (1887-1950) was one of Edison's most popular tenors. He began recording in 1910 on US Everlasting cylinders. His first performance for Edison was released in 1914 on Blue Amberol cylinder 2150. Subsequent performances were released on about 70 cylinders and a similar number of Diamond Discs. He retired from studio work in 1923. His last Edison recording released in 1926 was recorded several years before its release. Ballard teamed up with singer Helen Clark to record some very memorable duets.
