The greatest rock band of all time.

Sesame Street on LSD!

[@christopherfreed8872]

Sesame Street was on plenty of lsd and other things back then to, when they took psychedelics out of children's television, stuff got mediocre and shallow fast

[@tempolynnrealofficial]

It’s better than Sesame Street sometimes tbh

[@Webb_Studios]

@@tempolynnrealofficial to be honest, you won’t find Elmo threatening to roll a group of people into a basket ball. This show is superior

No, it's Hanna barbera on drugs

[@chrischagares2565]

Still a better band then One Direction.

That doesn't take much!

[@meyou-dv8ns]

But they come in a close second place to Lance a lot link & the Evelution Revolution

[@tempolynnrealofficial]

One Direction: **exists** Banana Splits: psh, we’re already four directions right here! See? One banana.. two banana.. three banana.. and there’s four! That makes a bunch, and so will many more!

[@agustinolaya]

I have 17 years and i have to be honest, I have envy of all those who were born at the time of the 1960's, this is just great

[@freedomspreads9683]

You can say what you want about the Banana Splits, the studio musicians involved were amazing, including Frank Zappas lead singer later in 1973 Ricky Lancelotti.

[@Minotaurmike68]

I love this that I remember the Banana splits is such a comfort. One of the biggest influences in my life is the banana splits. They were great at a time when I needed them.

[@travoltamcmilkies428]

Dude- so wanta go back to my Saturday morning cereal bowl.........

[@henrykujawa4427]

One of my favorite Banana Splits songs! I'd love to see a "proper" CD release of all their songs. There was a CD some years ago, a "twofer" with "The Beagles", but I believe the entire thing was mastered impropoerly, the SPEED was "off", as everything sounded to me like it was runnning TOO FAST.

[@daveyhouston]

Henry Kujawa I would love to a cd saw the premier of this show back in 60s

[@daveyhouston]

It was intentional I was there

[@paisleybabee]

Ah the psychedelic TV wonderlands of my childhood!I miss the Splits!Who performed their songs?Damn I wish I still had the records!

[@jameskenedy4877]

I don't know but it was probable THE WRECKING CREW.

[@mattsantiago75]

The singer is Ricky Lancelotti, he did some work with Frank Zappa.

[@auldsk8r]

Trippy yeah, and we kids just ate it up !

[@noahpartic7586]

Gen X from '72 here. I 1st watched the show syndicated on WDCA Ch 20 in DC, worth it. To this day, The Banana Splits are trying to find a cave.

Snorky dropped too much acid I think.

[@67nairb]

that was his way of getting even with Fleagle, Bingo and Drooper for being so mean to him.

[@WarpxD]

this song is really good

[@josephfalco3141]

That fuzz tone is sick!

[@ukman6322]

Loved this when I was five years old back in sixties. The banana splits just freaked me out man.

The good stuff, my friend. The GOOD Stuff.

[@kleinabomber]

Brilliant pop song for a kids TV show 👍👍

[@enzogorlami9651]

This is pretty good

[@chrishutt66yt]

People like Barry White, Al Kooper, Gene Pitney & Jimmy Radcliffe wrote these songs! Pretty Rough Rock & Soul music...for a kids show!

[@Sargebri]

Pitney and Kooper are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully one day Barry White also will be in.

[@adamharris7775]

This song was in the Turner print of the 1st 1968 episode of this show.

[@lauraswihart8018]

[@chrishutt66yt]

An actual pop/soul song that came out in early 66 by Charlie Starr written by Jimmy Radcliffe and sung by the AMAZING Ricky Lancelot! (Frank Zappa)

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

That Vox teardrop guitar -- what Drooper is seen playing -- was famous as being Brian Jones's favorite guitar from 1965 until 1968.

MAN! The Bass in this is FAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!

Listen to this and "Wait Til Tomorrow" and THEN try telling me that the Banana Splits was just another '60s kids' show. I won't believe a word you say.

[@DTD110865]

It's actually one of the better songs on the show.

[@lincbond442]

Pretty heavy psych for kids. The kids today don't know what they are missing.

[@robhex]

I remember when I was a kid, I use to watch the Banana Splits and thought I was the hippest kid in the world.

'68 Was the year The Banana Splits toured with the Grateful Dead. Also rumor has it that they played Woodstock in '69

A mix of Animals and the Doors 😉 😎 🎸

Stoner rock for kids back in 69 and the early 70s. Sleep should cover this.

In “the cave” at six flags, there were these “spees”, these funny anteater-aliens that remind me of greedo. I just read about them online.

[@liscrisprod]

This Should Be The International "MAN CAVE" Anthem For Sure!

[@higbeeproductions2340]

What kind of drugs was snorky taking during this?

[@MrStereo10]

For those who don't know-The Banana Splits show was released on DVD in 2007 in the UK ONLY (Region 2). It generally won't play in your average DVD player-but there are ways(if you have a dvd burner on your computer you can get DVD ripping software that can remove the codes). Also-these are the syndicated half hour versions of the season 1 episodes-as this is how the show was seen in the UK. Warner Brothers "supposedly" is having issues recreating the original hour long version of the show as the master elements are not in the best of shape and, with the demise of DVD sales, it's unlikely to happen. There are some clips of Season 2 on youtube. I don't know where they came from, but they mostly look and sound great. Enjoy them while you can. No doubt someone will take them down.

[@Optimalillusion]

I have an old Venturer brand portable player that I once looked up, and found a way to unlock all regions on it. You never know what kind of little secrets some companies will stash on their stuff.

[@simonkormendy849]

A great example of classic 60's Fuzzzz guitar tone, cool.

He looks a lot better here than he does in the recent remake, although you could argue that the current guy would do a better job playing keyboard in the updated costume

[@TheNicholasChannel499]

Why was Snorky's face transparent at the end? Am-am I the only one confused about this? No? Okay...

[@isabeld.paredes4923]

A blue-screen type of Chroma Key was used in the 1960's and 1970's and was something of a norm in film and TV production(s) back then. This was before green screens and CGI effects came into being in later years. To me, this looks like Snorky's costume had some sort of red undertones (I'm not exactly a master of special visual effects, mind you) or the editor wasn't able to properly correct the parts where Snorky appeared during this segment
