Pitty me, I remember both the Wombles and the Banana Splits; I actually went to a Wombles in store appearance back in the early '70s. I still like the Banana Splits; n fact, I was watching the Banana Splits just the other week with my 7 year old Gean'Daughter.

Isn't that child abuse, FF? Forcing a little girl to watch that mind-warping stuff? 😜

It didn't sound too bad. It was vaguely reminiscent of the Monkees' cheery sound.
