Banapple Gas Lyrics
Everybody's sniffing it Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is stuck on it Banapple gas.
Set you healthy when you're bed-tied?
Well I don't know if it makes you well...
But it must be healthy
'Cause it don't smell.
Everybody's living on Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is grooving on Banapple gas.
What kind of strange spice makes it right?
Well I don't know what kind of spice
But it must be healthy 'cause it's sterilized.
Give me more Banapple gas
O-o...o-o-o
Make you happy just to be alive?
Well I don't know if it makes you happy...
But it must be healthy
'Cause it's certified.
All the world is breathing Banapple gas
O-o alas!
No one knows what's inside it Banapple gas
Oh Banapple gas.
Banapple (gas) is an illegal substance that contains traces of LSD given a fruity flavour. It also can mean Amyl nitrate or “ poppers”but not likely for this… It was first discovered in 1968 and popularised by the famous singer, Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf Islam), in his song 'Banapple Gas'
It is classified as a class-A drug Cat: Banapple gas! It makes you happy! It makes you laugh! (sprays police man) Police Man: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This song sounds like it is about doing drugs. In the 60s and 70s, everyone was doing drugs without really knowing what was in them. I'm not sure if that's what it is about, but that is what it sounds like to me.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about oxygen. If you watch Majikat, he says that he only uses oxygen as a drug. Also, I am fairly sure you can "flavor" the oxygen, so he's probably talking about the scent of bananas and apples mixed together.
By only uses oxygen as a drug, i meant that the only drug he uses is oxygen. I worded that one wrong.
This song is from a concept album based on a fictional planet called Polygor in a far-off galaxy, and the "Polygons" who inhabited its palace.
not my favourite song, banaaple gas sounds gross, whatever the hell it is.
Nitrous Oxide (N20)...
Why everything should always means about drugs...every where, in every song, whenever its meaning is hard to understand, each speculations will always be about drugs.. or maybe they really are about drugs.lol
These lyrics have been running through my mind some and after ages of not getting this, it suddenly sprung to me while I was singing it. Forgive me if you disagree, but from "Banapple Gas" I get a picture of a guy(Cat Stevens) in the 70's who's been introduced to butt sex (Banana(penis)/Apple(apple bottom)) and now he's amusing himself in song about the morality of the act and with the words: sterilized(after bowl motion), certified(it's with a girl), gas(clearly a fart occurring during anal). . . Look I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but c'mon how can't anyone see this imagery? Maybe, I have wandered to some of the same places Cat Steven's wandered to, peace and forgive me for this interpretation, though I feel it's valid.
@Katonitrain pmsl very imaginative lol bless ya to Put it simply though Banapple (gas) is an illegal substance that contains traces of LSD given a fruity flavour.

Sounds to me like he's making a point in general about the questionable things we put into our body -- whether its illegal drugs, sugary cereals, medication, cigarettes.. etc. Everybody's doing it, so me toooooo
