the show's theme song, titled "the tra la la song (one banana, two banana)", was credited as being written by ritchie adams and mark barkan, but that was merely contractual. in fact it was written by n.b. winkless, jr. on the upright piano in his living room—a piano that also spawned the "snap, crackle, pop" jingle, among others. adams and barkan were music directors for the show. the song was released as a single, attributed to the banana splits, and peaked at number 96 on billboard's top 100 in february 1969. the version included on the "we're the banana splits" album is the same recording heard at the beginning of the show, while the single version is an entirely different arrangement and recording of the song, featuring an additional verse.
