A video of Nicole Kidman and Joey King dancing together on the red carpet at the film’s London premiere has gone viral on social media, set to the classic Harry Nilsson song “Coconut.”
The song was featured in the first Practical Magic movie during the “Midnight Margaritas” moment and it has also been featured in the trailer and promo materials for the sequel.

Harry released the song on his 1971 album Nilsson Schmilsson and it reached #8 on the Billboard charts in the U.S.
“Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime / His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime / She put the lime in the coconut, she drank ’em both up,” he sings on the track.
Billboard ranked the song as the #66 song for 1972. You might also remember the song from it being used in the end credits for the 1992 movie Reservoir Dogs or from Dannii Minogue‘s cover version in the 90s.
