Bananaphone refers to the nonsensical and catchy 1994 song by children's entertainer Raffi, which became a cornerstone of early internet culture in the mid-2000s. Its rise to meme status was largely propelled by a 2004 Flash animation featuring a variety of loop-based visuals that synchronized perfectly with the upbeat tempo. Over the years, it has evolved into a versatile template used to represent goofy communication, unexpected phone calls, or pure 2000s nostalgia. Today, it remains a beloved relic of the Web 2.0 era, often used to signify absurdity or to trigger earworms in unsuspecting audiences.
