Banana Splits
No, I am not talking about the ice cream here…I’m referring to a new kids musical group/website/tv show. The Banana Splits were a children’s hit in the 60’s and they are back, completely made over for today’s kids in mind. Music video and shorts will start airing on Cartoon Network in September and their brand new, super fun, interactive website is now available. The group consists of a dog, lion, gorilla, and an elephant.
After exploring this site, I gotta say, the music is good. Yes, seriously with a definite 60’s vibe to it, lyrics for kids, music for parents! The website features jokes and games and music videos and is bright and busy…perfect for the kiddos. It’s groovy!!!
Now, I’m not quite young enough to remember these guys from the 60’s, but I will say, I think the Doodlebops, must have seen the show and based themeselves on these guys, a poor imitation. This Banana Spplits music is MUCH better, a real 60’s vibe which I personally like.
Be on the lookout for the Banana Splits clips on Cartoon Network and be sure to check out the website with your kids, play a few games, download the lyrics, and listen to the music.













Oh wow! This was one of DH’s favorite shows and yes he is old enough to remember. lol They’ve aired some of the originals on one of the kid channels (can’t remember which one)and the boy likes it. I will definitely be tuning in!
