Silly rabbit

A hip little single from Playboy magazine that went to subscribers in 1957 in conjunction with that year’s first annual Playboy Jazz Poll. Included on this record are cuts from the Playboy Jazz All-Stars LP including “Play, Boy” by Shorty Rogers; “Fine’s Idea” by Charlie Ventura; “Sophisticated Rabbit” by Shelly Mann and “Joey, Joey, Joey” by J.J. Johnson. I collect Playboy related records so this is a nice one that’s pretty rare.

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
