OMG!  Flashbacks!

Philip just posted "bananas" in a word game, and seeing that triggered a LONG-forgotten memory:  that fun TV show called "The Banana Splits."  :)

I remember it.  In the UK it was shown during the school holidays.  I can probably remember the theme tune as well.

One banana,two banana
three banana, four
five bananas make a bunch and so do many more
flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork

I also still sometimes say things from the Arabian Knights cartoon which which shown during the programme.

Wow, you remember way more than me!  'Course I remember so few things from childhood-- *sigh*

I found some sites commemorating the show--maybe they have audio clips of the theme song that I can listen to to bring it all back.  :)

Thanks a gazillion, Ninny!  :) :) :)

Though the video quality wasn't good, it sure hit the spot!  I definitely remember the song now and that clip--especially the falling on the slides part--oh yea, and the cars too--and...  ;)

Thanks again!  :)

I miss that show. ;D

Some people say it's a mild take-off on the Monkees.  I'm a Monkees fan and I just don't see any similarity. :-\\
