[edit] Banana
While I'm sure the source is correct I have never heard a version where it is not said "BO-na-na" not Ba-NA-NA" Thus they are not pronouncing banana correctly
[edit] Sentence on children getting others to swear
I took the following sentence out of the article. It may be true, but even if it is, it's clearly original research that is not on either of the two external links. 69.177.176.154 23:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
When children discover that names like Chuck or Mitch will result in gratuitous swearing in the course of the song, they invariably encourage their unsuspecting friends to use such names when they sing it.
[edit] (X−1) as the name without the first consonant sound
Should this be "as the name without the first consonant sound and its preceding vowels?" or "as the name without any beginning consonant sound" - I mean, if you have Adam, does he become Afam, Abam etc. (implied by the current wording), Fam and Bam (the former disambiguation), or Fadam and Badam (the latter)? If there's no general consensus on this, it should be mentioned instead of just ignoring the case of names beginning with vowels. -VJ 19:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Munchkin
Ah, now I know where the space version of the card game "Munchkin" gets "bobaser" and "bananafanafofaser". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.181.251.66 (talk) 04:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC).
