This was a really cute kids' show, but what really amazes me is that I can still remember the theme song, and I have it on an old 45 record in it's original sleeve.
We'll be doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doing the Banana Split, ya'll. We'll be slidin' it, peelin' it, scoopin' it, etc.!
Anyone know what it might be worth? I don't think I'd part with it, though, any more than parting with my Huckleberry Hound bank! There were a lot of "kitschy" shows on at the time, but this one was full of fun and silliness.
It's a shame that there aren't as many fun shows for kids these days. They are missing out.
UPDATE! I did find the 45, to discover that I don't have the sleeve, but I do have 2 records. So KHDolan, the group is actually the Banana Splits. Here are the names of the songs.
Record 1 - Doing' the Banana Split, I Enjoy Being a Boy (in love with you), The Beautiful Calliopa, and Let Me Remember You Smiling.
Record 2 - The Tra-la-la Song (One Banana, Two Banana), That's the Pretty Part of You, It's a Good Day for a Parade, and The Very First Kid on My Block.

Good luck!
