Going with the flow...

Stuck like the Banana Splits (la la la lalalala la la la...) theme?

Oh God, thanks, Bill.....

ARGH

ra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

One banana, two banana, three banana, four.
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more.
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Comin' on to bring you The Banana Splits Show.

Makin up a mess of fun
Makin up a mess of fun
Lot's of fun for everyone.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

Four banana, three banana, two banana, one.
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun.
Flippin like a pancake, poppin like a cork
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork.

Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.
Tra la la, la la la la.

I'm thinking that was Dire Straits. :yes:

The group that recorded the song was Dire Straits and they put it on their 1984 or 85 album Money for Nothing (BTW one of the first digitally recorded rock albums) but on the title track it was Sting who was singing the line 'I want my MTV'

You both are right.

Mark Knoffler wrote it. He really was in a department store in New York when he heard a guy in the appliance department say what the guy in the song says as they watched MTV on the display of TVs.

"That ain't workin!'"
 
I wonder how I can remember stuff like that but forgot again to pick up stamps today :dunno:

Weird idnit? My ex used to marvel at my ability to recall obscure and totally useless facts. BTW, I remembered getting stamps yesterday at the grocery store, but I forgot laundry detergent. :redface:
