Bananaphone is a popular children's album[2][3] released by Raffi and Michael Creber[4] (father of actress, singer, and voice over artist Michelle Creber) in 1994. The title track's lyrics describe the bananaphone. The song uses many puns such as "It's a phone with appeal!" (a peel) and nonce words like "bananular" and "interactive-odular" as Raffi extols the virtues of his unique telephone. The album was certified Gold by the CRIA in March 2002.[5]
