Harry Nilsson - "I was in Hawaii and I remember thinking, "Coconut" What a good word. Coconut. So I wrote it on a matchbook, took it home and was in L.A. driving along the freeway when I picked up the matches. I started writing the song in the car. Then I made it like, the cause is the cure. You put the lime in the coconut, it makes you sick, you call the doctor and he tells you, "Well, put a lime in the coconut and call me in the morning."
