We're The Banana Splits

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!

Thank you very much. (08-12-2004)

Bet you never knew Barry White cut his teeth writing for the Splits. Can you imaging how they would have sounded if they had stayed around longer wit the Mastro writing them?

Larry and Diane (dianehochman@sbcglobal.net) says:
How weird is it that the "Tra La La" of the Banana Splits is the same melody as "Buffalo Soldiers," which is inescapable in the country of Jamaica? Accident or conspiracy? Hi Frank, from your old pal Larry. (05-20-2004)

Well, there was the Goofy Gopher, but he lived in a flower pot in the Splits' groovy, psychedelic cartoon pad.

There used to be a great site dedicated to the Banana Splits, http://www.thebananasplits.com , but it appears to be down at the moment. (05-13-2004)
