[pendragonU]

That was absolutely classy and plain delightful.

Never better said making sound easy what is sophisticated as 'it'

[unwichtigerStatist]

1 guy is gay

[NokDwai]

@unwichtigerStatist

[tvwatcher1220]

Such an awesome singer! I could've sworn though, that he said only "banana split for my baby, a glass of plain water for me" in the song.

[Yolandaria]

Cool song.:))

[zelotalot]

so simple yet so refined.

[vTHExUNKNOWENv]

[bigloualbany]

[RememberSoCal]

haha i work as a soda jerk at an old school diner and all i do is make ice cream sodas, shakes malts and banana splits allllll day. this songs always in my head.

[mojicat76]

Thanks, luizoak! This is one of the greatest and funniest songs by Louis Prima. I had never seen the video. It's spectacular!

[MarieFace]

This song makes me smile and brings back fun memories when I was in high school and went Swing Dancing every Wendsday.

[KateLouise]

I'm a Jazz singer, and this just gave me a great idea for a Valentine's Day surprise for my baby :)

[chaosk100]

Super! Super! Only Louis, Keely and Witnesess.

[DjavataRifyIT]

@luizoak The movie is Hey girl! Hey boy! (1959) :)

[nrage40]

This is fantastic, wish that things didn't change so much. Things seem kinda skanky compared to back then.

[tallulah2]

I swear you can hear Keely singing background, even though she's not lip-synching here. Interesting. Love them.

[pelimeni507]

i love his music

[edenwoolever]

1 person didn't get a banana split )':

[mustsilm]

What a performance...i wonder how did they wrote the song? They must have gone to a cafe and discovered they had no money? :D

[gigfydotcom]

Spumoni on a banana split? God forbid.

[dorkasaur98]

LOL FEIN THIS

[mammamaya61]

[robertpetrea23]

[CLAUDIA26MIAUX]

[dorkasaur98]

[irmajulia53]

saw "hey boy hey girl" on TMC one night. When l heard his voice, l knew he was the voice of King Louie in "Jungle Book" ! Been hooked ever since! Have 4 of his CDs. Best 1 yet: Greast Hits.

[petergarofalo]

this guy was so way ahead,

look & learn

[xtiml]

usually ordering this way informed the girl you didnt have enough money to feed two people.not the one intended of how much you care and sacrifice for her,she ate and dumped.soem guys like to hump and jump,nmany girls make you pay for the pump or make you pump you to to prevent the jump.until they figure whay to do with you,or you can both hojoe,which is both jump after eating.

[1FrankFan]

This was not a great movie but they were great together and this song is a one of a kind.

[moonshinekk]

@PainlessJen  it's from the movie called Hey Boy!Hey Girl!

[PainlessJen]

@moonshinekk Thanks!

[jerryg50]

This is good quality music. No synthesizers or special effects sound. The composition and the writing of this type of music was original.

[dirtpipedan]

@jerryg50 A song about banana splits? yeah. so exciting.

[xhellonhighheels69x]

@jerryg50 lol yes, I can't imagine how this would sound if they had gone with auto-tune

[donotdisturbagain]

@jerryg50 It has what most music these days lack... Warmth.

[Compooky121]

@jerryg50 Nothing wrong with a synthesizer. This is a totally different style of music.

[bbcisrubbish]

@jerryg50, and contained lots of the ingredient sorely missing these days... FUN and happiness.

[SenrisHoneyComb]

lol sam is so cool XD

love love love this song, its been my fav since before i can remember

[StargateAdventures]

Perfecto " What's the matter, You can't play in Italian?" Live on King Louis

[malopezg2]

[LoriDeMarco]

I grew up with this couple always playing in my house...my mom saw every show they did in Lake Tahoe and got to know them. She said they were great fun. It shows. I love this!

[Brandostudios]

Thanks for uploading this classic video!

[riddleswings]
