...so did anyone get to the bottom of 'the great banana hoax' ? :o)

I think I have seen this before on Swedish television. In black and white back then though as we could not afford a color tv.

The pulling down of the black hat at the end of the song is really a comedy contrast to the serious tone in the song.

I have the 7" single in my collection, bought on a sellout for 1 SEK = $0.15

@Strix94Nebulosa Har de verkligen visat detta på svensk TV? Hade ingen aning om det alls. Jag har för mig att de spelade in detta i Holland dock, inte Frankrike. Du råkade inte se de i Stockholm?

[DannyDelReyo]

Wasn't it dutch TV who recorded this?

I use to crank this loud when i was 13 back in 67..there best yet

[MattHatter]

Well if you liked cranking this video loud, you can't anymore! On a side note, I was just over at my friend's house who is 62 and a 'Nam Vet. He has two Magnavox 4-speaker stereos, one from '62 and the other from '64. Those things are INCREDIBLE! The sound is muddy but so FRIGGIN' LOUD! We played an original copy of The Doors' debut and I told him, "You know it must've been something to crank these albums on these stereos back then. The music just seems to groove more!" LONG LIVE TUBES!

Great stuff! Unlike today's unimaginative, watered down crap kids are subjected to. A great era!

[MattHatter]

So true JoHomza1, I find it hard everyday to deal with the fact that Fall Out Boy are considered some great rocking band.  It's so wierd today, so many kids want music as good as what we see here in this vid today but STILL there's that "Oh, these guys are old and dead! I can't relate!" factor.

[strawberryjem]

[OpalPink]

OMG! Love the beginning too.

[ZAPPABLACKDOG]

Brilliant band from the 60's, well ahead of their time, 'Get me to the world on time' was another great single of their's. 'I had too much to dream last night'!! superb lyrics, had both this and GMTTWOT on 7 inch singles on 'Reprise', sold 'em on e bay, wish I hadn't now!!!

[pernicketty]

Thanks so much for this!! Whatta rare gem!

[MattHatter]

This is definatley one of my faves by The Prunes along with "You've Never Had It Better" which is pure garage-punk heaven!
