Banapple Gas Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Katonitrain 

Cover art for Banapple Gas lyrics by Cat Stevens

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.

My Interpretation

@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.

It was first discovered in 1968 and popularised by the Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf Islam), in his song 'Banapple Gas'

It is classified as a class-A drug ban Apple gas also means amyl nitrate “poppers” BUT in this instance its most likely the class A Cat: Banapple gas! It makes you happy! It makes you laugh! (sprays police man) Police Man: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
