WOW. I totally remember that.

No wonder that years later, psychedelics seemed familiar...

Rain-Monkey: WOW. I totally remember that.

That, and The Archies. Everything was sooo groovy back then.

The drummer kind of looks like Mickey Dolenz.

I tried to describe this show once to somebody who had never seen it. He thought I was making it up.

If I think really really hard about it, I think my earliest childhood television memory was watching this show.

That, and the closing credits to Sesame Steeet - Funky Chimes

I'm a firm believer that your first pleasurable exposure to something uses that something as a standard for the rest of your life. It's no wonder, then, that Sesame Steet's Funky Chimes would declare, for me, an early predilection for funk, soul and all variant forms of groove-based music.

At least, that's my theory.

Woo hoo, Banana Splits thread! Loved them as a tiny kid.

And their theme song translated so well to punk (new window)

/la la la, la-la-la-la

Fark, let's try that again:

Banana Splits theme by the Dickies

The Banana Splits are on everyday in Canada on Teletoon Retro.

I loved this show when I was a kid.

I adored this stupid show - particularly Precious Pup, Atom Ant, and that Three Musketeers cartoon.

I'd always wander off during the Tom Sawyer segments. Yawn.

Mezmerizing, what a blast from the past. Seems like a lifetime ago that I used to watch that. Oh, it was.

Banana Buggies!

Wow, this SHMHC is pretty weak.

Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky went hunting? Brasky decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives...except Fleegle.

RIP Northern Calloway

Weren't certain segments of this underrated show filmed at the same amusement park where one of the Brady daughters lost her stepdad's work papers?

Now that I have come out of my seizure from viewing this, I believe I will now drop some acid and watch it again.

Sid and Marty Krofft must have been doing all the drugs that Jerry Garcia didn't get a hold of. Al Kooper, Berry White, and Gene Pitney all wrote for the Banana Splits. Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky rocked. At the SF Fillmore we still watch them on DVD (bootleg of course).

/Banana Splits are better then your favorite band.
//Really.

I'm having Saturday morning flashbacks!!

Wish I had a copy of "Let Me Remember You Smilin'."

solcofn: Obligatory.... Sam and Criminy Kraffft present Drugachusettes (new window)


/Never take more than you can handle...and always know your dealer!

Came for the Drugachusetts, leaving chunky blue trollop farmed.

Thanks for the clip! I loved the funky chimes when I was little.
