@flipflopgirlly It is probably. I went there as a kid when it was Hanna-Barbara's king Island. They were the producers of the 'Banan Splits". King's Island is still pretty awesome!!!
If you like the The Banana Splits, you might like my bubblegum music podcast, Echo Valley. Check it out. It's free and fun and for my fiends and friends of groovy pop music from the late 60s and early 70s. We play The Banana Splits just about every week! Find it on iTunes or Google "echo valley podcast". Thanks for posting this fun video!
It is available on DVD for R2 and R4 regions. But not R1. Use a worldwide DVD player to solve this issue. I live in Australia and have the R4 version.
I watch this show sometimes on Boomarang. I love it. And when my little cousin Monica was over, she was crying, and I was watching it, so I started singing the theme song, and she started to laugh....She was a year old at the time. XD
Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la, tra-la-la, la-la-la-la One banana, two banana, three banana, four Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more Over hill and highway the banana buggies go Comin' home to bring you the Banana Splits show Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la, tra-la-la, la-la-la-la Four banana, three banana, two banana, one All bananas playin' in the bright yellow sun Flippin' like a pancake, poppin' like a cork Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork
Wow, I loved watching this after school when I was a little kid. I really liked the Arabian Knights and 3 Musketeers cartoons they would show during this!
I catch myself singing this theme song often. Of course, ppl look at me like I'm nuts because no one else remembers it. To the youngster who just turned 40...I'm 51 now and it was on when I was a kid. It must have been real early seventies.
@field16 -- we were 4 guys between 19 and 26. Three of us were brothers, The costumes weighed 40 pounds so we sweat tons -- 10 T-shirts a day. As Bingo I once was treed by a rattlesnake while shooting in Griffith Park (Hollywood.) Another time I ran the Banana buggy into a cyclone fence I couldn't see. Anyway, 2 of us are visible w/o heads at the Facebook Banana Splits site, under pictures.
I can't really remember any of the actual cartoons on this show, but I can sing the theme sing at the drop of a hat and have very clear memories of Drooper trying to take out the trash. What does that say about me? No, don't answer that.
Ah I used to watch this all the time when I was young, it's good to hear it again. It such a happy song, and the fact that the opening was shot at a theme park just makes it happier.
@renofirvine I have two 45s in my collection, one entitled "We're The Banana Splits" and another presumably once found as a Kellogg's cereal promotion.
Bill Brasky once hunted down all four of the Banana Splits! He chopped every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives. Except Fleagle.
@7funhouse3 You're way behind. I can remember picking up my friend, around 1970-1971, to walk to elementary school and he would always be watching this. I HATED IT!!!! That song makes me nauseous.
One time these Somali Pirates boarded our boat, I was chillin on the upper deck when this happened. I put on my sun-glass, put on my headphones with the banna splits theme by Liz Phair, grabbed my nugget and said, "You Damn dirty commies, we used to stack you negreos 10 feet high in nam'." As I remember the AR-16 smoke and the horses breath. then i killed 2 of them with my LR-3000, lobotomized one with my rem. 870 and was saved by the commissioner with a m-60.
Great theme song ! I loved their show and got so scared when they showed episodes of that island where people got their heads chopped ... What was its name ? I really can´t recall ... Anyway , they were awesome !
Yes, Paul Winchell was one of the voices. He also was Tigger. He also was the owl on the Tootsie Pop commercial, and the voice of the "scrubbing bubbles" on the tolet cleaner commercial.
He was a ventriloquist who had his own TV show with his dummies Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smiff, and an inventor who designed one of the first prototypes for an artificial heart.
@drsta84 That's the late Paul Winchell providing the voice of Fleagle as well as 'tigger' from Winnie the Pooh. By the way, check your spelling in the future.
now this is the one that brings me back nearly 40 years! thanks layne chan! any waipahu folks remember the sky slide? isn't that where the lex brodie gas station went in?
