  1. a banana
    • 1982, “Banankontakt av tredje graden [Banana encounter of the third kind ["närkontakt av tredje graden" (close contact of the third degree) is idiomatic for "close encounter of the third kind"]]”, Lasse Åberg (lyrics), Janne Schaffer (music)‎[1]performed by Electric Banana Band:
      "Det är en fågel." "Nä, det är ett plan." "Nej, det är en superbanan!" Det är ett ljussken över staden. Nåt stort och gult som alla ser. Banankontakt av tredje graden. En fruktraket som kommer ner. Banankontakt är min takt. Banankontakt är din takt. Och din kontakt är min takt. Och min kontakt är din takt. Banankontakt är vår takt. Och vår kontakt är er takt. Och sambatakt i tretakt. Och er kontakt är vår takt. Banankontakt, banankontakt, banankontakt ... av tredje graden. Och dörren öppnas på raketen. Banankommandot kommer ut. "Nu sköter vi den här planeten, så eländet kan få ett slut." Banankontakt är ... [as before]. Det är ett skimmer över staden. Ett klokt och vackert guldgult ljus. Banankontakt av tredje graden, med frid och glädje i vart hus. Banankontant är ... [as before]. Bananerna kommer snart. Var redo!
      [kontakt also means plug or connector, and banankontakt also means banana connector] "It's a bird." "No, it's a plane." "No, it's a super banana!" There is a glow over the city. Something big and yellow that everyone sees. Banana encounter of the third kind. A fruit rocket coming down. [rest is sic] Banana contact is my beat. Banana contact is your beat. And your contact is my beat. And my contact is your beat. Banana contact is our beat. And our contact is your [plural, oblique] beat. And samba beat in triple time [literally, "three-bar"]. And your [plural, oblique] contact is our beat. Banana contact/encounter, banana contact, banana contact ... of the third kind [degree]. And the door opens on the rocket. The banana high command comes out. "Now we are running [taking care of, managing] this planet, so that the misery can come to an end." Banana contact is ... [as before]. There is a shimmer over the city. A wise and beautiful golden-yellow light. Banana encounter of the third kind, with peace and joy in every house [each house, implying all houses]. Banana contact is ... [as before]. The bananas are coming soon. Be ready!
