Seriously, one of the verses of the song is about how when you're exhausted at the end of your shift and tipsy because you've had a little nip to take the edge off is the perfect time for a tarantula to ambush youpic.twitter.com/bpdirfrR8q

This is Phoneutria fera, the "tarantula" spoken of in the song, one of many so-called "banana spiders" that nest inside banana bunches and pose a threat to banana workers Its bite is rarely actually fatal, but is said to be extremely painful, like being stabbed with a knifepic.twitter.com/WqYjETiNAZ

Yes, this does make me feel guilty about how bananas are like 70 cents a pound in the supermarket every time I think about it
