That perfect Mississippi slide was played by Ed King. You’d swear he was dragged out of the bayou just to play that song.

Ironically, though he was writer/performer of some the most definitive Southern Rock with Skynyrd (yep, he co-wrote Sweet Home Alabama), he was also the California psych rocker playing the fuzzed SG on the equally iconic “Incense and Peppermints” with Strawberry Alarm Clock just a few years before.

I can write the first two stanzas from memory...

Tra la la, la-la la la (4 times I think)

One banana, two banana, three banana, four
Four bananas make a split, so do many more
Over hill and highway the Banana Buggies go
Come along to bring you the Banana Splits show

Tra la la, la-la la la (again 4x)

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork
Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork

After that, I'm lost.
