The Banana Splits

1141023220_07123baec7.jpg

The Banana Splits show was on Saturday mornings from 1968 – 1970. Maybe the best thing about this kiddie show was the theme song:

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

Coming on to bring you the Banana Splits Show

Tra la la, la la la la………

Four banana, three banana, two bananas, one

All bananas playing in the bright warm sun,

Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork,

Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and not forgetting Snork

Too many records, not enough time

“Startling!” is hardly a dramatic enough word to describe “This DEEPER dimension PROPHETIC record album” This looks like a bootleg of a Luke Hollandworth tent revival sermon. When would you want to put this baby on the turntable anyway? $5 was kind of expensive for a record in the early 60’s, I bet Luke did okay with his doom and gloom prophesies back then.
