Where does the phrase 'Crazy as a Coconut' originate from?

I recently overheard someone referring to another person as being 'Crazy as a coconut'. I hadn't heard this phrase before so later on I started researching. My initial thought was that he had made up himself as I didn't find many results. I did however see this phrase used as lyrics in a song by a band called 'The Avalanches' titled 'Frontier Psychiatrist'. I see someone else had raised question on Answers.com and received an obscene response but hoping someone here might provide a more helpful response as to its origination.

Solution 1:

The phrase is “crazy in the coconut”:

Popularized by the Australian electronic music group The Avalanches in their song "Frontier Psychiatrist".

• Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?

• What does that mean? That boy needs therapy

It refers to the slang meaning of coconut as head whose usage dates back to the first part of the 19th century.
