"Coconut" is a song written and first recorded by Harry Nilsson. The third single from his 1971 album, Nilsson Schmilsson, it reached #8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and it features three distinct characters (the narrator, the sister, and the doctor) all sung in different voices by Nilsson. The song is perhaps best remembered for its chorus lyric, "Put the lime in the coconut, and drink 'em both up." Yale's all male a cappella group, the Alley Cats traditionally sing this song as the closing song of their performances. It has also appeared in many films (including Practical Magic, in which it is proclaimed "a good song to get drunk to"; Wag the Dog; and the end credits of Reservoir Dogs), and in episodes of The Simpsons, ChalkZone and in "Let them Eat Cake", the tenth episode of the fifth season of House. It was also used in a comedy skit on The Muppet Show, which featured Kermit the Frog in a hospital bed. The song was also used in a 2005 ad campaign for Coca-Cola, advertising their Diet Coke with Lime product. Side one Side two Side one Side two Dannii Minogue recorded the song as a bonus track on her third album Girl. It was subsequently released on December 7,
