30,000 Pounds of Bananas Harry had a blast with this song in concert coming up new endings because his band did not like the first ending. The Chapin catch phrase "Harry, It sucks" originates from the live performance of this song. This song was based on an actual truck wreck in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Jerry Lynott, a writer for Times-Leader, looked back on the 1965 truck accident this story was based on recently.
