Banana Splits - Adam Had em

[@whyyyyou]

The recent Banana Splits film where they were reimagined as evil violent robots was an interesting experiment but I'll take the original 1960's Banana Splits any day. They were alot nicer. Bingo with his glasses & grin looks like a cartoon caricature of Al Franken during his SNL days.

[@DOODOOFART-m9p]

This isnt even that unintentionally creepy. Its a seriously catchy song even for an adult!

[@paulw6057]

I think Bingo is a Micky Dolenz caricature, the glasses just being an accessory. Drooper is a bit like Michael Nesmith, too.

OMG!! I didn't even know that!! Glad I missed it!!😳🙄

[@tierhalibel9474]

They were definitely tripping balls

[@jediotter1079]

Hell no

The Banana Splits were funny and brought so much excitement every Saturday morning.Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera where would be without you 2.RIP, Bill and Joe.

[@thaddeoust8455]

Joe Barbera passed away?

[@theorca5173]

For me, they did it weekdays after school.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

@@thaddeoust8455 I think both Hannah and Barbera have gone to that great drawing room in the sky!

@@theorca5173 The Arabian Knights was my favorite cartoon!!

[@paulw6057]

I love that little guitar 'lick' at the start and towards the end of the song.

[@paulseano5100]

The intro has that San Francisco sound like the Mystery Ship song. I was 6 in Northern California in ‘73 when I first saw the Banana Splits and Danger Island, etc. This song popped into my head the other day after I spoke with a guy named Adam and he was strange so I walked by to my car humming the song. Thanks for sharing !

2:05 Rip Bingo, My favorite character for this series :(

[@j.h.lowery7934]

It is 2021 and I'm still enjoying and laughing on this. Thank you Hanna / Barbera for a pretty decent childhood.

[@1Phoebus]

these clips bring back so many memories. I worked at the recording studio where all the music and sound effects were done. I set up mics all over the studio for the sound effects segments. Members of the Wrecking Crew laid down the music, and cool looking guys with longish hair came in for the vocals. Great times.

[@guymowbray3713]

Please tell more - fascinating! I'm from England - they don't make 'em like this anymore. I'm an author although not involved with the banana splits. [e-mail]

One of my favorite shows as a kid.. You are so lucky!

[@tempolynnrealofficial]

[@Quixotic_Dreamer]

Thank you for giving us quality entertainment that's lasted generations! ❤

[@leonardork]

Miss my cartoon network afternoons...

[@shiakolb5149]

This is my favorite song ever!!!!!!

[@noahpartic7586]

These music videos alone are well worth it.

[@1mrstutt]

Love the sound effects. They add a lot to the fun.

[@PajamaManFan]

I will go to the Hanna Barbera Theme Park from Southern California in the future! I need to hug Snorky! That would be interested!

[@alphadiallo6371]

this song is awesome

[@JoeServo]

Has a definite 'Soul Man' feel to it.

[@johnsain]

They made some excellent records.

[@Tiffany-th1fn]

I think The Original Banana Splits should inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Tiffany Deaton

[@killergamer5665]

[@brettbest192]

After the TraLaLa song this was their next best cut

[@DarthMayonnaise2652]

I got'em.

[@chrishutt66yt]

A really good soul singer named Ricky Lancalotti sang these songs and went on to work with Frank Zappa!

[@ul7185]

Happy New Year, Boomerang!

[@ackotele-radiochannel7408]

I wonder who were the performers inside the costumes ?

[@derby1884]

Two of them were brothers. Winkless was the surname, I believe.

[@ackotele-radiochannel7408]

@Alex Dockery wonder if any of them are still alive today ?

[@dang2443]

Is this on vinyl or CD anywhere?

[@yl9698]

'who is this Adam'? Really? ugh the first human--pick up a Bible...

[@theorca5173]

Adam sure had trouble with his baby after she bit the apple.

[@ChillbitTheChillster]

:D

[@trfesok]

Rather odd lyrics for a tune in a kids' show.

[@Optimalillusion]

This was before it got all demographic'd to pieces. Even the tunes from kids show bands were made with a radio-friendly groove for everyone.

[@freddyrichards878]

who is this Adam anyway

[@MDCSWildcats86]

the one from the Bible.

[@ronaldmorgan4734]

Freddy Richards Adam and eve

[@JackMensahBonsu]

This song is about girl trouble.

[@johnsain]

Adam reimagined as gay....
