The Banana Splits - 1969 - We're The Banana Splits
The Banana Splits Adventure Hour was an hour-long, packaged television program that featured both live action and animated segments. The Banana Splits' bubblegum pop rock and roll was provided by studio professionals, including Joey Levine ("I Enjoy Being a Boy", "It's a Good Day for a Parade"); Al Kooper ("You're the Lovin' End"); Barry White ("Doin' the Banana Split"); Gene Pitney ("Two Ton Tessie") and Jimmy Radcliffe provided his songs ("I'm Gonna Find A Cave", "Soul", "Don't Go Away Go-Go Girl", "Adam Had 'Em" and "The Show Must Go On") but did not contribute vocals to Splits recordings. The music director was music publisher Aaron Schroeder while production duties were mainly handled by David Mook. In 1968, The Banana Splits released this album titled We're the Banana Splits. The show’s theme song, titled "The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)", released as a single, peaked at number 97 on Billboard's Top 100 in February 1969. 01 - We're The Banana Splits 02 - I'm Gonna Find A Cave 03 - This Spot 04 - Doin' The Banana Split 05 - Toy Piano Melody 06 - Soul 07 - The Tra La La Song 08 - Wait Til Tomorrow 09 - You're The Lovin' End 10 - In New Orleans 11 - Two-Ton Tessie 12 - Don't Go Away - Go-Go Girl LINK
