1) TNT is a hard rock band… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 11 artists called TNT.
1) TNT is a hard rock band formed in Trondheim, Norway in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen , guitarist Ronni Lé Tekrø , bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Morten "Diesel" Dahl . They released their self-titled debut album the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American vocalist Tony Harnell became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder with the temporary stage name Tony Hansen. That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales in 1987, before "Diesel" Dahl decided to quit one year later, after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales - as co-written by Dahl - produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)".
Kenneth Odiin became TNT's new drummer, but recorded only one album with the band, Intuition in 1989, before he left. His replacement was John Macaluso, who played on the albums "Realized Fantasies" and "Three Nights in Tokyo" (both released in 1992). The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation "Till Next Time" was released, and Tony Harnell, Ronni Le Tekrø and Morty Black reformed TNT with drummer Frode Hansen. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly in 1997 and Transistor in 1999.
In 2000 Morten Diesel Dahl came back to TNT, 12 years after he left. The band started working on their new album "My Religion", which was released in 2004. Months after the album release, Morty Black decided to quit, and Sid Ringsby took his place for the following concerts.
TNT's new studio album, All The Way To The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. A single, "Sometimes" was released on July 25th, but was only available in Norway. The same year Victor Borge replaced Sid Ringsby as their live bassist.
Tony Harnell left the band in April 2006 for both personal and professional reasons, although he is collaborating with iMagic Films and producer Darren Paltrowitz on a live DVD featuring his performance with the band in Madrid, Spain from April 1, 2006. The DVD is intended to be released in Japan in August 2006 and elsewhere in the world in September 2006.
TNT are still alive and kickin' - and are proud to introduce the new man behind the mic: Singer Tony Mills from Birmingham, England. Tony Mills is one of Europe's most respected hard rock singers, mostly known for his work with UK Melodic Rock act Shy and his solo artiste releases of recent years. Tony has worked along side such names as Cinderella, Dokken, Cozy Powell, Meatloaf, The Sweet and many more and will add a new and exciting dimension to TNT as the band enter a new era. It is an unbelievable coincidence that Mills' band Shy were already booked to support TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway before Harnell's departure. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him.

Eu não sei que horas são
Perguntei se alguém achou
Todo mundo disse não!
(Não, não, não, não!)
Pega o fone e diz um nome
Mas ao menos vê se come
Todo mundo respondeu
(Não, não, não, não!)
Ana Banana
Por tua causa eu tô em cana, baby
Ana Banana
Me leva agora pra tua cama
Oh! Ana, ah! Banana, ah!
Oh! Ana, ah!
Eu perdi o meu relógio
Eu não sei que horas são
Perguntei se alguém achou
Todo mundo me falou
(Não, não!)
Pega o fone e diz um nome
Mas ao menos vê se come
Perguntei se alguém comeu
Todo mundo respondeu
Ana Banana
Por tua causa eu tô em cana, baby
Ana Banana
Me leva agora pra tua cama, ah!
Oh! Ana, ah! Banana, ah!
Oh! Ana, ah!
Eu perdi o meu relógio
Eu não sei que horas são
Perguntei se alguém achou
Todo mundo disse não!
(Não, não, não, não!)
Pega o fone e diz um nome
Mas ao menos vê se come
Eu perguntei se alguém comeu
Todo mundo respondeu não!

The lyrics of Ana Banana by TNT depict a playful and humorous narrative about a lost watch and the frustration the singer experiences in trying to find it. The song begins with the singer stating that they have lost their watch and have no idea what time it is. They ask if anyone has found it, but everyone responds negatively. The repetition of the word "não" (meaning "no" in Portuguese) emphasizes the consistent denial from everyone.
The lyrics then transition to a seemingly unrelated topic, as the singer tells someone to pick up the phone and say a name, but also reminds them to make sure to eat. They ask if someone has eaten, and again, they receive the same negative response from everyone.
The chorus introduces the character of Ana Banana, who is portrayed as the cause of the singer's troubles. They sing about being in jail ("cana" can also refer to a slang term for jail in Portuguese) because of Ana Banana and ask her to take them to her bed. The repetition of Ana and Banana in the chorus creates a catchy and playful rhythm.
The song concludes with the singer repeating the earlier verses, emphasizing their frustration at not being able to find their watch or receive a positive response about it. The final line, "Entra nessa e dança um rock ′n roll" (meaning "Get into it and dance rock and roll"), invites the listeners to join in and dance to the upbeat rock and roll rhythm of the song.
Overall, Ana Banana can be seen as a lighthearted and humorous song, using wordplay and repetition to create a catchy and entertaining composition.
