The notes explain that the original version was "devised by Bill Zobel during the Australian Winter School of 1995 held at Hawkesbury. In his class there were a number of people from Queensland. Queenslanders are renowned as the people who put the bends in bananas!"

And also say "For those who were at Hawkesbury in 1995, the first eight bars of the dance have been modified from the original version. This gives 2nd,   3rd and 4th couples a breather and is for the benefit of those who do not have access to the unlimited energy that derives from a diet of bananas."

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
