So that's what Al Kooper was doing between Blood, Sweat and Tears and Lynyrd Skynyrd. If he knuckled down and let another singer take the mike, what would that have meant for the latter band? Not sure I want to know.
It's too bad BANANA SPLITS song videos like this never appeared on MTV or VH1. I remember MTV had a MONKEES marathon in 1986 to commemorate the show's 20th Anniversary. They could've had a BANANA SPLITS marathon for that show's 20th Anniversary in 1988. The MONKEES & THE BANANA SPLITS were very similar to each other.
@pmanis09 I see what you mean. But then again who cares about the content it was a really cool Banana Splits rock video. A little psychodelic but cool.
I wonder why they used six second segments of PRECIOUS PUP, SQUIDDLY DIDDLY, and the IMPOSSIBLES in this rock video of "You're the Lovin End?" And why were Atom Ant, Precious Pup, Granny Sweets, the Hillbilly Bears, Secret Squirrel and Morroco Morocco Mole flash across the screens? I liked but what did have the BANANA SPLITS song?
This was not only a kiddie's show. It came out while I was in college in the late sixties. I still have my Bananna Splits Club membership card and certificate. Now I watch the show with my grandson.
@dtrocks05 Not sure who the actual musicians were. I've never been able to find out. I'm quite certain it's not Eric Burdon - although the singer on "Gonna Find a Cave" sounds a little like him. Most likely, just session musicians that Hanna-Barbera contracted with.
@dtrocks05 I don't know for sure all the musicians but I know that Al Kooper (Bob Dylan, Blood Sweat & Tears) wrote the song, and possibly plays organ.
I saw the premier episode of THE BANANA SPLITS ADVENTURE HOUR yesterday at the Paley Center for Media in Manhattan (it was initially called the Museum of Television Radio and before that the Museum of Broadcasting), and this music segment did appear in it. "You're The Lovin End could not have been made in 1969 if it appeared in the first episode THE BANANA SPLITS WHICH AIRED IN 1968.

Well, because they were all Hanna-Barbera cartoons. It doesn't have anything to do with the Banana Splits other than that.

Awesomeness. Ricky Lancelotti ruled. It's amazing that he did this and then worked with Zappa.

@dtrocks05 The lead vocal is by Ricky Lancelotti (RIP) who would later work with Frank Zappa, appearing notably on his Overnite Sensation LP.
