Bananaphone is a popular children's album released by Raffi and Michael Creber (father of actress, singer, and voice over artist Michelle Creber) in 1994. The title track's lyrics describe the bananaphone. The song uses many puns such as "It's a phone with !" (a peel) and nonce words like "bananular" and "interactive-odular" as Raffi extols the virtues of his unique telephone. The album was certified Gold by the CRIA in March 2002.
Bananaphone has been covered in several different musical genres. Examples include several heavy metal versions, a dubstep version and a bluegrass/country version by Rhonda Vincent released on the album Sing Along with Putumayo released by Putumayo World Music.
The Chilean children's show Cachureos released a cover of Bananaphone called "Teléfono" on its 1996 album, "La Mosca".
