I just came from a discount store that had a fair group of 45rpm singles. I've strictly budgeted my $$ so I wouldn't go "hog wild" & bankupt myself.

I found 2 that I thought to be most unusual & rare. One is a 60's UA single called,"Keem-O-Sabe" by a group called Electric Indian! :D

The other 45 is none other than the theme song from the late 60s early 70's Sat. morning show "The Banana Splits"!! LOL! :D Titled "The Tra-La-LaSong". It's on Decca and nerly 40 years old.

Just thought I'd share. :cool:

Hey,T.T. ; Be glad you don't have my mind. Why?

I heard that song all the way back when I was 3,in watching the syndicated reruns in '71,and that tune has never left my head....ever!
:eek:

Like you,it'll pop intomy head and I'll idly hum it as well and sing the "one banana" etc. words.

I think the best way to cure yourself in this case is,if you have Hi-Def cable,tune into the Boomerang channel and watch the show,record it,play the theme over & over 'til you know it 100%.
Then as often as you can sing it out loud until your brain rejects it. :D It's only a 2 & 1/2 min. song anyway.

I'd do that myself but songs never leave my head! :eek:


On another note,speaking of 45's & top 40 hits (which the B. Splits are not!)I did a total count of "Top 40" hits that I own ('55 to last year) and the grand total is 6,130!

That's a combo of LP's-casettes & c.singles-45's-CD'LPs & CD singles. Whew!!
#6000 was Roy Orbison's,"Breaking Up Is Beakin' My Heart". ;)

Hey T.T.! i had that song on a tape of "Children's Funny Favorites" back in 1978. :D

it wasn't the Lonnie Donnegan version but I thought it was funny then,now it's just amusing. ;)
