Ba-Ba-Bananas Nanas Tee: T5 edition

[Ghosts_on_TV]

I actually love the original Careless Whisper. Me and my friend John play it a lot at the bar and then have to convince people that its actually badass.

I think the biggest concern was sooo many of us knew CW word for word and sang it with just a bit too much passion!!!

I was in 4th grade when this song was released and I still know all the words!  Remember the whole hubbabaloo over "I Want Your Sex"?  They banned it on all the radio stations in Cincinnati....funny stuff.

I posted this in the How was your week thread, but I will share this story again because it is just too good:
Mr. Wizzard and I flew out of JKF on Sunday and our airline was Jet Blue, which flies out of Terminal 5 at JFK.  We say our goodbyes to our friend and roll into the terminal, only to hear George's version of Careless Whisper playing overhead!  Kismet!  A few of our fellow travelers looked at us oddly since we were dancing and singing along at the check-in monitor.... ;D

And now back to my next road block with the shirt:

So the clip art used on the shirt is just free clip art found on the web.  I am getting a little concerned about royalties, copyrights, etc....especially if we make it a "public" design on Zazzle.

I was thinking I could do a little banana photo shoot this weekend (my sister has a really nice digital SLR).  I will upload that to the front design and see how it looks.
My second option is getting someone to whip up a little graphic design for us of a bunch of bananas.  My Mom is an artist and has done some graphic work in the past.  And my friend here in town is a textile designer and I could probably work out a trade with her. But if someone here is willing and able, I think it would be uber cool if a forum member did the graphics!  A bunch of Bananas couldn't be that hard to whip up, am I wrong?
Anyone interested before I talk with my contacts?

Hell yeah, I'd buy one of those.

Glad to see your idea of the bananas t-shirt has gone so far, look forward to seeing more posts regarding your progress with the shirt.  Great to see the video clip of that moment, it brought us right back to that night!!  Wish you the best in completing the shirt and look forward to seeing more posts.  It is great to see the amount of encouragement and support from the others in helping this idea become a reality.  Wish i could be of more help but it looks as though you have it down very well.

[JaneCool]

Love this shirt idea!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[aMillionDreams]

I want one!

[walterfredo]

I feel blessed to have experienced both of the ba-ba-bananas-nanas throwdowns! (assuming they've only done it twice?)  I think I'd have to get a T as well.  

[the_wizzard]

Me and the hubs are going to photoshop my banana pics tonight so I should have these up and ready this weekend (at the latest).  
Walterfredo, there are not many of us in the twice banana club, you must get a shirt!  There are some of my OG shirts floating around the bay area too!

Yeah, but it was pretty rad.

I thought Penny was going to climb over the fence as she was singing the lyrics reaching for JJ especially the WE COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TOGETHER. I had a ball watching her that night.  ;D
