@rickthaler The Banana Splits theme song is the older tune. It's possible that Marley heard it somewhere, and used that bit of melody in Buffalo Soldier.
Trivia fact: This song sounds a lot like Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier". Also, these costumes were designed by Sid and Marty Krofft. Hmmm, you don't suppose Mary Wanna had anything to do with this, do you? Of course not! (puffpufftoke)
One of their sponsers was Firestone Tires. They were pushing 'Crazy Wheels'. Bicycle tires made of different colors.

I wish they could make shows like these today. Brilliant.
I saw these a couple of years ago on Satellite TV and when i was very little.
Why is it that the old theme tunes are cheerful and yet today they sound like a funeral procession - same with a lot of music?
