I only just discovered them a few days ago and now I'm already addicted to their music! Their sound is very catchy and their lyrics are so positive, cute, and innocent. Shonen Knife has such an endearing charm to them. Who would've known that a band that sings about candy, kittens, and (ofc) banana chips became one of my new favorite bands.
The albums not on there are the ones released on MCA/Universal, I'm guessing they signed away their publishing rights in the nineties like so many artists did and it's something to do with that. Your major label deal might end but they'll keep ripping you off forever.
Banana chips for you! Banana chips for me! In the afternoon, Banana chips and tea. Sliced bananas lightly fried with coconut oil. mmm... They're just a little bit sweet. Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips. Oh, yeah! Banana chips for me! Banana chips for you! I can never get enough Banana chips, it's true. Oh, I really like to eat them. Love their sweet smell of coconut oil. Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips. Oh, yeah! Banana chips for you! Banana chips for me! In the afternoon, Banana chips and tea. It reminds me of the sunshine on a tropical paradise isle. Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips. Oh, yeah! Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips. Oh, yeah! (Just wanted this here for me lol)
cant remember where this played, cartoon network maybe? as i grew older, i started to suspect i was growing insane for thinking this song was real. that chorus is such an earworm. but remember it having this music video, exactly as i remember it now. si yeah. full circle. i have not gone insane
The animations for the band members look so much like something that The famous Japanese artist, Yoshimoto Nara would design. So identical to his work very much so.
I found this song when I was 4th (late 2012) grade because there's a video of a boy cussing about banana chips then it led me to this song so now I know shonen knife thank you random boy cussing about banana chips
I like this, it's so deep - how to interpret it is the question. Are they just a female Japanese punk band with the munchies, or, like Yoko Ono, are they questioning the whole concept of "Western" materialism, and how shallow it really is. My brain hurts just trying to comprehend it all!
bannanas are good for seritonoinin.maybe they fried there brains too much and i thinkm its a reapie song.lots of meals have been passed threw ancient song lines.just ask any true aussie and they'll tell ya.survival in the destert,songs dances and dot paintings is all about survival of the fittest! we got the oldest song lines on this plannet.um just like about 40thousand years old!

Oh Shonen Knife. You make the world a better place.
This song has been stuck in my head since 21 years ago
Omg me too! Every time I eat banana chips!
Haha same here ...every time I eat banana chips I think of this song
I'm 33 and it probably been stuck in my head since I was 16 years old or something.
25 years for me! 😆
Me too !!!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SPOTIFY DOESN'T HAVE THIS ALBUM, OR MANY OF THEIR OTHER ALBUMS. AND YET THEY EXPECT US TO PAY FOR THE PREMIUM SERVICE.

バナナ🍌チップスは歌は大好きです。みいファぷーのエンディングテーマでよかったです。
I love how their influence by the ramones bleeds over.
this is seriously a contender for my favorite song
John Blake A contender? Straight up winner man!
i can finally die in peace. the earworm has been found
Back to mtv asia 1998
Remind me my teenage days I used to listen to this music
The solo is pure California surf rock. I love it!
Best acid flashback ever!!
Mentally, I am here.

a masterpiece
Best song ever period reminds me of my childhood memories
I listened this when I was 6 and now I am here again and my old life just started vibing in side of me
Every fucking time someone says banana.

You can't deny that this song is catchy as hell.

Banana chips!!
The music is pure Shonen Knife...cute video from some one that smoked too many chips.
This brings me back to my days reviewing for my Midwifery Board Exams back in 1998. It's one of a few songs that I listen to while self-studying!
The animations for the band members look so much like something that The famous Japanese artist, Yoshimoto Nara would design.
So identical to his work very much so.
He did and the same characters are on the album cover of the CD Happy Hour, which is where this song comes from
I found this song when I was 4th (late 2012) grade because there's a video of a boy cussing about banana chips then it led me to this song so now I know shonen knife thank you random boy cussing about banana chips
Omg i remember seeing this long long time ago on mtv
Junya XOXO yeah. me too. i am very young at that time 😅😅
Mtv played this? In 1998? That must have been rare
I've seen them several times and have about 6 of their CD's. They're a lot of fun! :-)
how much for 1? ive got lots of nirvana bootlegs.and other rarities i am willing to swap for.i am also looking for ekimo joes 1st 4song ep.

Dunno, but I have a sudden craving for potassium.
+Je Suis Ce Que Je Suis I went out and bought banana chips, then came back home and put on this song. :D

추억의 명곡.. 근데 지금 보니 뮤비가 좀 무섭다 ㅠ
