Give Me a Band and a Bandana is a song by Nacio Herb Brown and Leo Robin, performed by Carmen Miranda in the 1944 20th Century Fox film Greenwich Village.

[1] Carmen Miranda's performance of "Give Me a Band and a Bandana" in Greenwich Village takes on a new dimension when she begins singing in Portuguese, as pointed out by Sarah Wright and Tom Whittaker in their book Locating the Voice in Film: Critical Approaches and Global Practices.

She immediately follows with the verses of "Quando Eu Penso na Bahia", then returns to the English lyrics of "Give Me a Band and a Bandana".

[3] On the other hand, Peggy Simmonds from The Miami News acknowledged the value of the Technicolor and Carmen's performance, but lamented that the film did not do justice to her talent.

[4] The singer Camila Cabello used "Give Me a Band and a Bandana" as inspiration for her performance of "Don't Go Yet" at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards.
