"One Banana" is a song performed by the Anything Muppets on Sesame Street. The lead singer, performed by Jim Henson, sings about the fact that you never find bananas growing by themselves—only in bunches. Labeling a lonely banana as "Miss Banana," he is joined by a quartet of Muppet bananas that are all dressed similar to Carmen Miranda.
