Talk:The Banana Splits

Mentions of the repeats and reruns (for example on Boomerang) would make a fine addition. --AWF

Who on Earth wants a citation that the Dickies got into the UK charts with a cover of the theme? That's fairly well known, isn't it? Not hard to cite... 86.0.230.142 17:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Someone went a bit over the top adding the citation tag here. Citation tags should generally only be added to dubious statements or facts that can't easily be verified. I added some sources for the Bob Marley reference because that was a claim rather than a fact, and I've left the Shortnin' Bread tag there because I couldn't find a reliable source for it. The other two tags have been removed because they are easily verified by anyone wanting to. The Dickies fact is even mentioned in their own article, but whoever asked for a citation didn't bother to look. Pufnstuf 04:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Fleegle or Fleagle?

Isn't Fleegle's name spelled Fleagle as in beagle? i think it isLiPollis 00:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

No, "Fleegle" is correct

According to the Season 2 scripts, his name is spelled "Fleegle." It's also spelled that way on virtually all official merchandise, including the back cover notes on the We're The Banana Splits album.

Thanks. Of course, after I posted that question, I went and looked around and felt so stupid when i saw that the majority of verifiable references to him are as Fleegle ! Thanks anyway for the explanation. It will likely prevent any future confusion about the spelling.LiPollis 08:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

• I was going to add a message on this talk page months ago regarding this because it seems to be a common misconception. I was the editor who corrected the name to "Fleegle" originally, in my edit here I was being slightly assertive in the summary because it wasn't the first time a passing editor had decided to change it on a whim. I was going to add an image to the article showing the correct spelling, for example here and here but I thought that wouldn't be classed as "fair use". Pufnstuf 03:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

"Our Little Show" (?)

Thanks to the person who provided clarification on the correct title of that song...may I ask how you verified that information? Are any of these unreleased Splits songs listed in any music publisher (ASCAP/BMI) sources? Do they give the names of who composed them? (For the songs used on the TV show but otherwise unreleased...I'd really like to verify the correct titles and who wrote them, if possible. These include "Adam Had 'Em," "A Place For The Music To Come Out," "You Had Your Chance," "I'd Be A Millionaire," etc. (Mark Yurkiw, webmaster, bananasplits.4t.com) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.3.67.138 (talk) 04:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Your website is good, coincidentally I just added a link to it in this article, before I even realised it was you posting on this talk page. You should register here, it only takes 10 seconds. Pufnstuf 04:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks... Hey, I did some looking around and I found that song (and several other Splits songs) at the BMI publishing website: http://repertoire.bmi.com/title.asp?blnWriter=True&blnPublisher=True&blnArtist=True&page=1&keyid=1335171&ShowNbr=0&ShowSeqNbr=0&querytype=WorkID According to the BMI site, the "legal title" is "Show Must Go On." That week's TV Guide listing had it as "The Show Must Go On." So where does "Our Little Show" come from (other than the lyrics themselves)? (BTW, the composers are Jimmy Radcliffe and Carl Spencer.) --Mark Yurkiw, webmaster, bananasplits.4t.com
