b-a-n-a-n-a-s

A snippet of a cheerleading chant first heard by most in the song, "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani. It is actually part of an entire cheer that I first heard in the mid 80's. Usually heard from a cheerleading troupe during a game at a school whose school colors contain the color gold or yellow. (Players wear gold or yellow pants or jerseys.) This was considered quite a racy cheer at my high school in 1986... I only heard it used once. Here is the entire cheer ---

(Shouting--)
Go bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Go bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
You lean to the left,
and you lean to the right,
you peel your banana,
and UNNGGHHH you take a BITE!!!

(by the way, Gwen is a former cheerleader herself, and I'm sure it would be a safe bet that the school she cheered at has yellow as one of its school colors.... )
