(We start with a black screen as the sounds of faint bongo beating is heard, then we open on a jungle with palm trees, some growing bananas as the sun rises and the palm tree leaves obscuring the trees. As a mysterious distant singing voice starts singing off-screen, the title card “Day-O: The Banana Boat Song by Jake Pinelli” appears in yellow Comic Sans MS font.) Mysterious Voice (off-screen): “Day-o, day-ay-ay-o, daylight come and me wan’ go home” (The leaves then slowly pull away, revealing a bunch of palm trees and the mysterious singing voice to be a monkey with grey and white fur and mitten-like hands, then the camera zooms in on him) Monkey #1: Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-o-o… Daylight come and me wan’ go home… Work all night on a drink of rum (holds up a bottle of rum which is empty and jumps off the tree) (Cut to five orange monkeys, one of them playing bongos and the four singing) Orange Monkeys: Daylight come and me wan’ go home (The grey and white monkey lands on the floor and signals them to stack bananas) Monkey #1: Stack banana till the morning come!

(The grey and white monkey, with head hanging low, walks away in despair) Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home Tallyman: (from inside his house) Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH! (The grey and white monkey, still in despair, gestures him to leave him alone, then approaches a tree) Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home Monkey 1#: Day, me say day-ay-ay-o (starts climbing up the tree) Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home Monkey #1: (spots a bunch of bananas and clings into it, then falling safely to the ground while singing, where the orange monkeys from earlier are collecting bananas) Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day Orange Monkeys: Daylight come and me wan’ go home Monkey #1: A beautiful bunch of ripe banana (raises the bunch of bananas in the air with pride) Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home (The grey and white monkey sees a tarantula crawling through his shoulder, his smile slowly being replaced with fear) Monkey #1: Hide the deadly black tarantula! (tosses the tarantula away and runs for his life, only to trip over next to the Tallyman’s house, where he meets the Tallyman, who urges him to save the day, by using his hand that did the same thing earlier) Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home Tallyman: Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot, BUNCH!

Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home (The tarantula crawls over the bunch of bananas, until the grey and white monkey arrives then points at it) Monkey #1: Day, me say day-ay-ay-o (bends down on one knee then waves the tarantula away, saving the day, then looks at the camera and smiles) Orange Monkeys (off-screen): Daylight come and me wan’ go home (The grey and white monkey then raises the bunch of bananas in the air and starts dancing around proudly) Monkey #1: Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day Orange Monkeys: (carrying stacks and crates of bananas) Daylight come and me wan’ go home (Cut to a nearby area of the jungle with stacks and crates of bananas, where the grey and white monkey successfully stacks the banana bunch, into a crate named “Belafonte Bananas”) Monkey #1: Come, mister Tallyman, tally me banana (The orange monkeys arrive with more stacks of bananas) Orange Monkeys: Daylight come and me wan’ go home Monkey #1: Come, mister Tallyman, tally me banana Orange Monkeys: (singing and gesturing) Daylight come and me wan’ go home Monkey #1: Day-o, day-ay-ay-o Orange Monkeys: (walk up to the grey and white monkey and come together) Daylight come and me wan’ go home Monkey #1: (shakes the Tallyman’s hand and races back to the top of the trees, as the palm tree leaves pull back up to obscure the trees again) Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-o-o… Orange Monkeys: (Appearing with their hands in prayer position) Daylight come and me wan’ go home (they all smile at the camera as the song ends, then we fade to black as the video ends) (animatic and storyboards)
