Okay, you've got me curious about this Bananas number, if only because I remember the one in the MINSKY'S musical. Details?

I had forgotten all about Minsky's. That show had potential

At the very end, in the show-within-the-show's after party.... after all the plot threads have been wrapped up, the gangster who financed the show starts a number about a saying his mother once used to say... "Yes, we have no bananas"... which turns into a big musical number in which the principals (who are still alive) each have a turn as couples twirl in the background.

Then they go into the curtain call.
