Banana Splits - Wait Til Tomorrow

[@KPCarter2000]

It's amazing when you first hear it as a kid you don't think much of it but when you hear it again the first time, What a difference you get to appeciate the song more. I find this to be the best song ever.

[@bryanpalmer9660]

Absolutely agree with you-used to watch the Banana Splits on NZ TV early 70s, didn't appreciate the songs untill much later,they are pure bubblegum fun! Still enjoyable today Auckland New Zealand 2021

[@Code3forever]

I was 18 when this song came out and just graduated HS. I remembered hearing the song on TV and thought it was a catchy tune. One day I turn on the radio in the car on to KRLA and KHJ in Los Angeles and it was playing right and left and was an overnight hit, at least in the LA area. Then just as fast as it became a hit, it disappeared. The same for a song named Quick Joey Small that made an overnight hit and then was gone. Great studio musicians on this one...

[@louisb5563]

Wow, that's good to know. I thought it went completely under the radar and was just for the kiddies! At least KHJ & KRLA gave it airplay, still though...sad it didn't do better and get the radio airplay and traction it deserved. That proves that this was truly an underrated song. Wonder what might've happened if it wasn't associated with The Banana Splits 🤔

[@dilltdog1158]

I remember this from the TV series, I was about 9 or 10 years old. It sounds as good now as it did back then!

[@guymowbray3713]

As an English person - this is a beautiful song and very relevant for 2018.

[@cwbyht]

One of the best and most obscure songs of the sixties.

[@robertmasina4610]

Sure, it's obscure when it appears cartoon characters are performing the song.

I used to watch the Banana splits nearly 50 yrs ago,loved it AND I remember THAT catchphrase! Thanks for reminding me of a fun show Auckland New Zealand 2021

[@shelleyganz9095]

THEIR BEST!!! BRILLIANT!!! Love This Tune...Soo Great...Thank You, "SPLITS"...

[@starwynde09]

OMG! Thank you, thank you for posting this! Of all the Banana Splits' songs, this one was my ABSOLUTE favorite. The lyrics were a little sophisticated for a kid show, but the melody stayed with me forever. So very glad to hear it again after all these years. I'm back with my little sister, waiting for The Arabian Knights! Thanks again.

[@rjmcallister1888]

From Hanna-Barbera, via Varese Sarabande Records: It's Ritchie Adams' lead vocal; Adams and Mark Barkan do the backing vocals, with a studio band. H-B says Adams handled most of the Splits' vocals. He also contributed songs for the Archies and worked with that group after the Splits.

[@brownfaye]

I used to sit through the banana splits just waiting to hear this song, it brings back great memories. Thank you

[@louisb5563]

Yes, me too!!!! ✌😀

[@rarebutgreat]

This is definately the best banana splits track ever. Simpler time and fantastic music. Thanks for posting it.

[@wavechild5164]

I must have heard this song a very long time ago, and it remained in the back of my head for eons, secretly influencing my taste in music, the closest thing I had to remembering it was remembering the time it was stuck in my head when I was a kid, and even then I don't remember where it came from. I wanted to watch the Banana Splits, because the show founded the roots of my personality, when I first heard it it took a few seconds for me to remember, but when I did, I felt like I found an old best friend

[@tempolynnrealofficial]

These guys are my favorite band.

[@nathanaelmetzger9042]

Same here

[@raymondyorysh7401]

[@QueenSnowPea]

I remember hearing this when I was 11 and loved this song. I didn't watch the Banana Splits but it was on TV one day and I heard this song for the first time. Then I would see the show in case it was played again.

[@Carvinter]

Most frustrating experience when this song originally aired, 'cause I couldn't wait to hear it again, which meant I had to wait for an episode re-run. Thank you for this.

[@Karlam20001]

I first listened to this song when I was a child in the late sixties,and have Loved it ever since.I still have that feeling of warmth listening to the song again.

[@charleswest6372]

Was 6 when I heard it. Still cool song.

[@KPCarter2000]

[@KPCarter2000]

Im not ashamed to admit it but It's my favorite song from the Banana Splits

That makes two of us dude, or maybe I should say 7 of us as of this comment!👍🏻

[@lucycordova815]

I have to admit that I liked this song

[@jenniferschillig3768]

I have vague memories of seeing the Splits in reruns as a kid in the mid-seventies. I think that it's why I have a nostalgic feeling for psychedelic-sounding sixties music even though the sixties were three years gone by the time I came along.

[@burgersoft777]

This is the splits strongest song IMHO..Its pretty good and totally right for 1968..great year.

[@LAGENT2000]

Dude, I got two words for you for bringing back awesome memories from my childhood with this song: Thank you.

[@TheCatgirl6]

Thanks for posting this, JFBridge. I've always loved this song. You wouldn't normally use a word like "haunting" to describe a kiddie show pop song, but that actually fits. There's such a melancholy to the lyrics. "We had it once, but we let it go..."

[@dawn1110uk]

Still makes me cry.

[@hoagymapleton2206]

Me too!! Big time

The very definition of the 60's sound Great song.

See the Lyrics here: Gliding through the mirrors all through the night Searching for the star that was once so bright We had it once but we let it go The warm affection that we needed so But wait til' tomorrow We'll find each other then Wait til' tomorrow Tomorrow we will learn to love again Yesterday we said our love could last And if we fight or cried all over the past I don't know just how we lost our way But I know we can't make love come back today So wait til' tomorrow We'll find each other then Wait til' tomorrow Tomorrow we will learn to love again Wait til' tomorrow We'll find each other then Wait til' tomorrow Tomorrow we will learn to love again Wait til' tomorrow We'll find each other then Wait til' tomorrow We'll find each other then Wait til' tomorrow

[@FriedLobsterFilmsMovieCompany]

I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG AFTER 13 YEARS

[@rjmcallister1888]

Still have the original Decca 45 from '69 in mono here. Nice to hear the stereo mix, as I could not find the LP then ( I have it now, along with a CD with this track). This should have been a hit; the songs were far above the average Saturday morning stuff, and occasionally they'd get a chance to do more 'mature' material. Supposedly, songwriters Ritchie Adams and Mark Barkan do the vocals here; Gene Pitney was still under contract at Musicor at the time, Al Kooper was on Columbia, recording with the first Blood, Sweat and Tears, and Joey Levine was under contract at Buddah, so it's not likely they were allowed to perform. Barry White was still three years shy of forming Love Unlimited, not signed as far as I can tell, but his vocals would be unmistakable..

[@GrizrazRex]

For being a "throwaway" song, this is magnificent. Had it been done by a "serious" artist, it probably would have charted, and become a classic, resulting in countless cover bands keeping it alive. Alas, it is an obscurity, but it's a golden one, and I hereby pledge to bring it to new audiences (if I can get my cover band to cooperate). I've already got a medley of it and No Doubt's "Hey You" in my head.

[@LetticiaRosado]

I loved The Banana Splits! Watched it as a kid, and as a teen. "Uh - oh Chongo!" was the ultimate catchphrase of the show!

[@RSG2006]

SJYNYC asks "Anyone remember a song called "Bouncing, Bouncing, Bouncing"... I think it was a song from the Harlem Globetrotter's cartoon?" Yes, that would be "Bouncing All Over The World." You are correct that it was the Globetrotters, 1970. Neil Sedaka wrote the song (and several other songs on the album). Great song.

[@clivemason-ms8ju]

[@TheCatgirl6]

Thanks--I could never quite figure out that line either.

[@scubawrestler]

After two months of research I found out who the studio singers were, and it surprised me. The musical voices for the Bananna splits were none other than: Joey Levine; Al Kooper; Barry White; and Gene Pitney. All well known in the 60s for their own works. I was way off base thinking Ron Dante (The Archies).

[@TheMadMod61]

Love this song, was lucky to find a mint con copy being sold by a U.S seller with some other Psychedelic releases so grabbed them.

wore this album out as a kid

[@freakwilliams]

@delideliver I agree with you on that one. I often shake my head and ask the same question, and the crap they have on Television these days and then they wonder where Kids are getting these ideas from, it's just enough to make you break down and cry sometimes. I myself grew up in the Eighties, being born in 72, and have shown my Kids this show and they love it. I can honestly say that I am blessed that my Kids don't act up or cause any drama, we can only pray that things get better.

After hearing this song on here I bid for and managed to get the Cd of the banana splits songs plus the Beagle songs too.I forgot about half of these. Definitely not songs for the kids, it's a bit too adult sounding.I don't think they'd get the soul stuff on there. Thanks for bringing this song to my attention,memories,memories.. fab!!!

What makes you think it has anything to do with the people using drugs,Especially Acid ? It sounds like the acid users are the bunch of you!

Besides the Theme song this was another of my Banana Splits songs

[@klbax63]

@ALFHARDY Right there with ya man and this song kinda has a little Nesmith sound to the vocal. There was defiantly an attempt to capture a little of the Monkees magic and apply it to the Banana splits the Lion was kinda the Nesmith Bingo was of course Micky the Elephant was Peter Flegal was obviously the leader kind of a mix of Moe Howard,Groucho Marx and again Mike Nesmith I guess they didn't want a Davy Jones. Of course I may be completely wrong about all of this
