The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat

The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat is a song composed by Harry Warren and Leo Robin, performed by Carmen Miranda for the film The Gang's All Here (1943).

This was the first Technicolor film directed by Busby Berkeley, whose extravagant musical numbers received critical acclaim, particularly the scene featuring "The Lady in the Tutti Frutti Hat". In this sequence, dancers appear holding bananas about half a meter long, which, according to critics, suggest a metaphor for erect penises. The performance culminates with Carmen Miranda balancing a large bunch of bananas on her head.
