Thank You (also known as Bananamelon) is a song by Japanese dub/rock group Fishmans. The song doesn't appear on any studio albums, instead appearing only on a promotional CD inside magazine 米国音楽 Vol.1 titled "A Sprout E.P." alongside other bands. In the same year, a live version was featured on album Oh! Mountain. It later appeared on rarity compilation album 空中 ベスト・オブ・フィッシュマンズ. Outside of studio appearances, however, Thank You is known to have appeared multiple times in live performances from the band, notably during December 28, 1998 @Akasaka Blitz.

Stylistic differences[]
The original recording of Thank You is much longer than the available live versions, which introduces a dub section towards its conclusion that makes the song last a minute longer than other versions.
