"Coconut" was a US top-ten single in 1972 for which of these singers?

"Coconut" is a novelty song written and first recorded by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson, released as the third single from his 1971 album, "Nilsson Schmilsson".

The lyrics feature Nilsson singing two characters (a narrator and a woman), each in a different voice. The woman drinks a mixture of lime juice and coconut milk, becomes sick, and calls the doctor. The doctor, annoyed at being woken up, tells her to drink the same thing again and call in the morning.

The single was on the U.S. "Billboard" charts for 14 weeks, reaching #8, and was ranked by "Billboard" as the #66 song for 1972. It charted in a minor way in the UK, reaching #42. "Coconut" did best in Canada, where it peaked at #5.

Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994), sometimes credited as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who reached the peak of his success in the early 1970s. His work is characterized by pioneering vocal overdub experiments, a return to the Great American Songbook, and fusions of Caribbean sounds. Nilsson was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists to achieve significant commercial success without performing major public concerts or touring regularly.

His most commercially successful album, "Nilsson Schmilsson" (1971), produced the international top 10 singles "Without You" and "Coconut". His other top 10 hit, a cover of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'" (1968), was featured prominently in the 1969 film "Midnight Cowboy".
