Why am I evil? Dickshot brought it up. I just want to hear the song and compare now.

Maybe I don't want to hear it after all.

The Banana Splits aren't evil.

Edgy DC Apr 24 2006 08:03 PM

I dunno. It's eluding me. The similarities betwixt the "Banana Splits Theme" refrain and the "Oy Yoy" part of the "Buffalo Soldier Remix" was commented on at the time. It would be easy enough to blame it on the re-mixer and arranger of his posthumous work, and consider the earlier slower version the definitive one, but it's clearly him singing that lick.

Willets Point Apr 24 2006 08:06 PM

Listening to Banana Splits right now. Holy shit the similarity is frightening!

cooby Apr 24 2006 08:09 PM

Willets where did you find it?

Willets Point Apr 24 2006 08:10 PM

Google "banana splits theme". First hit. You can also download it and send it to Scarlett. :)

cooby Apr 24 2006 08:14 PM

Yeah I saw that but there was some kind of disclaimer from Apple I had to agree to. Will my PC explode?

cooby Apr 24 2006 08:16 PM

Oh I see, that's to download it into my son's Itunes account. I'm sure he'd thank me for that... Is that the one you mean? http://www.melaman2.com/cartoons/singles/banana.html

Willets Point Apr 24 2006 08:18 PM

Ya mon. Banana Splits seems like the type of show that one would watch while smoking lots of marijuana. It could explain a lot of things.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 24 2006 08:33 PM

I was way too young to smoke anything while that was on the air.

]Vote in this fine thread! Be the son I never had! If you're implying that Lenny does my bidding or would vote to curry favor with the old man you're way off base. He's had a thing against Marley for years and has been a Talking Heads fan for even longer. I didn't know he had voted til I got home last night and he told me. He also only votes when he knows both bands and doesn't have to rely on snippets (unlike me who sometimes does rely on snippets).

sharpie Apr 26 2006 10:12 AM

This one is over. Talking Heads 62.5 Bob Marley and the Wailers 47.5

]If you're implying that Lenny does my bidding or would vote to curry favor with the old man you're way off base. Only for fun. I would've needed two and a half to three sons to catch your Heads. Congratulations, to you and your Babylonian sponsorees.
