“Coconut” by Harry Nilsson

“Coconut” from the album Nilsson Schmilsson, released in 1971

I first heard this song when I saw Reservoir Dogs, the Quentin Tarantino classic which is a remake of Ringo Lam Ling-tung’s even more classic City on Fire.

The movies are cool. I am a movie fan who grew up in the 90s so, you know, obviously I like them both to varying degrees. But I have to say Tarantino’s soundtrack game is — and always has been — straight fire.

This is evident in his use of this silly, gimmick song “Coconut” in Reservoir Dogs.

It’s just fun, you guys. It’s just fun.

See what else I’ve placed on Project 365 here.
