Шаблон:Use dmy datesШаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song Da Coconut Nut is a song composed by Filipino National Artist Ryan Cayabyab, for the band Smokey Mountain in 1991.[1][2][3]

In July 2017, footage of a performance of the song by the 75-member Baylor University School of Music Men's Choir from the United States in an Emirates Airlines plane cabin before passengers and flight crew was posted online and became popular.[1]

Composition

The song's lyrics describe the uses of the different parts of a coconut tree.[2] Cayabyab, in an interview with ABS-CBN, said that the song was composed in the novelty style popularized by Yoyoy Villame, whom at times the song was incorrectly attributed to.[4] The song borrows some melody from Guy Lombardo's 1944 recording of It's Love-Love-Love.Шаблон:Cn

Performance

The song became part of the concert programs of choirs in United States after a deal in July 2008 allowed its publication in the choral arrangement in Randy Stenson's Santa Barbara Music Publishing of California catalogue and performed in the American Choral Directors National Convention.[4] Stenson first heard the song performed by a Hawaiian choir.[5] Cayabyab claimed that the song became popular among American choirs ever since.[6]

In July 2017, when a video of the Baylor University School of Music Men's Choir performing the song before airline crew and passengers in Emirates Airlines' plane cabin became popular,[1] the choir stated that it had been singing the song since 2010.[4][7]

The song has been licensed for use for promotions featuring the coconut-based Malibu rum.[8]

Reception

Khmer Times described the song as a "whimsical Filipino piece."[9] Philippine Daily Inquirer editor Rito Asilo characterized the song as a "wackily irreverent novelty hit".[10] When the song was performed during Barack Obama's visit to the Philippines, Rappler described the song as a "classic ditty".[11]
