Banana Pancakes


In the last couple weeks I have made several calls to set up a project. One of cell phones I've called many times doesn't "ring" but instead plays a snip of a song "to enjoy while you wait for your party to answer" (according to the friendly woman speaking into my ear). Since I have heard this particular song repeatedly and it has stuck in my head ("... make you banana pancakes, pretend like it's the weekend...") I decided to look it up. The song is "Banana Pancakes" as sung by Jack Johnson. Do you ever hear this when you make a call? Are you familiar with Jack's music? Maybe he's the latest hit and I'm just missing out... and banana pancakes sound like a good breakfast, too!

We just bought that Jack Johnson CD a couple weeks ago! We have a few others of his (no doubt ripped from the library), as well. What's not to love about those Hawaiian artists?!

If only I'd known... I wouldn't have had to do so much searching! (I've also put in a request from teh library to borrow a copy...)

I've heard the whole 'please enjoy the music while your party is reached' because most of the techs at work are telling me the latest they have on their cell phones.

When I asked, I was told the song was selected by the company... can the person select their own music? The guy I called is a Jack Johnson fan so is it just a coincidence that the song the company picked was his? Or is there a misunderstanding somewhere?

You can pick whatever song you want. You pay for it. I know this is true on Verizon. If you go to their website, you can see what they have, but you may need to login, I'm not sure. Maybe that's just to listen to the clip before you buy it. Check it out! Nothing I need to spend my money on! ;)
