Comedians Kim Moyes and David Field created these yellow-pajama characters in 1992.
If you need one song to frame the whole thing, it's probably the title track 'Bananas de Pijamas.' That's where it all started. 'O Rato de Boné' gives you a good sense of their particular brand of gentle, educational silliness too.
For a generation of kids in the 1990s, those bright yellow pajamas and oversized heads were just part of the furniture. Songs like 'Lulu' and 'Viva a Criança' mixed silly humor with light lessons about friendship, delivered through simple, catchy tunes that stuck around. They weren't trying to reinvent children's music, just make something that felt like play.
It started in 1992 when Moyes and Field, fresh from working on 'Fast Forward,' decided to create a musical act for kids. Their first album 'Bananas in Pyjamas' came out in 1993, and they kept releasing records like 'Bananas on the Run' and 'Bananas in Space' through the decade.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
