![]() We're The Banana Splits |
Your childhood TV rock-n-roll idols, on vinyl!
One of the greatest things about the music of the 60's is how it accessible it was to just about anyone. The cool kids had the Beatles and the Stones; middle America watched the Monkees; the hippies had the Dead and Jefferson Airplane; even Mom and Dad could swing to a homogenized version of Lennon & McCartney done up by Enoch Light or Tony Bennett. And for the toddlers, there were these weirdos, the Banana Splits. I was suprised at how good some of the songs on this hard to find LP are (thanks to my friend Gary who let me borrow his copy). I'm not saying the Banana Splits were the next Beatles, but compared to the kind of music they make for kids today (the Barney theme comes to mind) this stuff kicks ass. Let's hear it for Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork! |

says: Anyway, I watched them faithfully every Saturday morning and thoughtn they were great. For that matter, I watched them on Boomerang not too long ago and they seemed okay, which is more than can be said for the mini-feature "Danger Island" that ran on the show each week. I DID like the Three Muskateers (I was very disillusioned when I read an abridged version of Dumas' novel in the seventies) and the Arabian Knights. I also remember the Terrible Twosome (I think that's right. Anyway it was a girl and a boy) the kid singers who would show up to assult the Splits with thier horrible singing. In fact, I not only watched the show, but I have (somewhere) a Banana Splits Coloring Book that my aunt bought for me. Clearly, I was a BIG fan.
