1. Day-O

   "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" is a traditional Jamaican folk song. The song has mento influences, but it is commonly classified as an example of the better known calypso music. It is a call and response work song, from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. The lyrics describe how daylight has come, their shift is over, and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home. The best-known version was released by Jamaican singer Harry Belafonte in 1956 (originally titled "Banana Boat (Day-O)") and later became one of his signature songs. That same year the Tarriers released an alternative version that incorporated the chorus of another Jamaican call and response folk song, "Hill and Gully Rider". Both versions became simultaneously popular the following year, placing 5th and 6th on the 20 February, 1957, US Top 40 Singles chart. The Tarriers version was covered multiple times in 1956 and 1957, including by the Fontane Sisters, Sarah Vaughan, Steve Lawrence, and Shirley Bassey, all of whom charted in the top 40 in their respective countries.

Examples of day-o in a Sentence

1. Supreme CourtMeanwhile:

   I've looked at what was done in both cases, and what President Joe Biden did was to, as a candidate, make this pledge, and that helps politicize the entire nomination process, but what President Reagan said is as one of his Supreme Court justices President Reagan would like to appoint a woman and President Reagan appointed a highly qualified one in Sandra Day O'Connor.

2. Maine Sen. Angus King:

   We've got an opening on the court. I think Sandra Day O'Connor made a very practical point. Let's fill the vacancy so the court can fully function and get on with it.

3. President Biden nominee:

   I remind them to take a look back at history and recall that it was Ronald Reagan who announced that President Joe Biden was going to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court and President Joe Biden did : Sandra Day O'Connor, and it was Donald Trump who announced that President Biden nominee was going to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a woman nominee as well. So this is not the first time that a president has signaled what they're looking for in a nominee.
