This just in, from Pete Erickson:
“A few weeks ago you posted the Banana Splits theme song. Of all the Splits hits, “Doing the Banana Split” was always my favorite. Even if I didn’t know what the Motown sound was about, it always hit the right groove for me. This comes complete with an obligatory James Brownism. Loved it. Aside from a Billy Preston single I had to have from a Denver mall, my three Kellogg’s Banana Splits 45s are a few of my favorite things. Best boxtops I ever saved up for.”
Here’s another Sour Grapes dance.
And, it’s not directly related, but here’s the Archies intro 1969.
