News flash! The Chili's stole their hook off the banana boat! OK, the similarity isn't overpowering, but it's definitely there.
See, here's RHCP singing about snow. The verses are fairly staccato and monotone, and the chorus is all based around "hey-oh".
And here's Harry Belafonte singing about bananas. The "day-o" bits (especially on the intro) sound a lot like the "hey-oh". Seriously.
OK, even if it doesn't, Harry Belafonte is a pretty amazing person, and that song is so good that Lil Wayne jumped in and sampled it 55 years after its release date.
