Lalalaa! La-lalalaa! Lalala - leLalalalaaaaa! Ok it's not quite the same if you can't hear it, but it brings us joy to know that the Banana Splits are returning!
Yes, Bingo, Drooper, Fleegle and Snorky can be seen on the Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the US next month in a series of more than 130 comedy shorts. Yahoo!
And that's not all, they're releasing a DVD and CD of their hits thru Universal, no less. Good grief.
"Everything that made The Banana Splits hugely popular in the 1960s is back, including the group's terrific humor and hit music," says a Warners bigwig.
"We take great pride in having carefully updated the look and feel of the original show for today's kids while retaining all of the elements that made the original Banana Splits such a hit."
Happy days ...
Did the Banana Splits inspire Bob Marley? wonders BBC News, "have you ever noticed the startling similarity between it and Bob Marley's hit Buffalo Soldier?
Listen to Buffalo Soldier - key lyric "Woy yo yo" - and The Tra La La Song, and it might seem like there is an echo in the room."
