"Papaya Coconut" is a song, written by Ingela Forsman and Lasse Holm. It was recorded with lyrics in Swedish by Kikki Danielsson on her 1986 album Papaya Coconut,^[1] and is one of her most famous recordings. The lyrics are about travelling from the Earth's colder places to its hotter places. The song was a Svensktoppen #1 hit, being at the chart for 12 weeks from 11 January to 29 March 1987.^[2]

Kikki Danielsson's original recording of the song also appears in the 2014 film The Anderssons Rock the Mountains.^[3]

In 1998 Kikki Danielsson recorded the song together with Dr. Alban, with lyrics in English written by Dr. Alban, and released it on the single Dr. Alban vs. Kikki Danielsson - Papaya Coconut (Come Along), which was released on 21 September 1998. The music was re-arranged from classical Svensktoppen pop to Eurodance, and for that reason more like a Dr. Alban song than a Kikki Danielsson song. The single peaked at #22 at the Swedish singles chart. This version was also included as the last track on the 1999 Kikki Danielssons orkester album Dagar som kommer och går.
