Am I hearing this right? The music is a revved up version of the theme to Hanna-Barbera’s The Banana Splits? [http://www.bananasplits.com/](http://www.bananasplits.com/)

Isn’t the Banana Splits theme song itself a rip off of Buffalo Soldier?

Other way around. The Banana Splits were around for years before Marley recorded “Buffalo Soldier.”

Noooooo! Even if Bob Marley wasn’t even aware of the theme song, I do so hate to have even the suggestion that he could have been influenced by it to be a possibility.

Oh and by the way, that second link appears to be some kind of recent abomination. [Here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL2WeRHqqXo&feature=related)’s the original.

Cool, I recall my brother having the 7 inch yellow vinyl version, ah! happy days.
How much fun we had saying “flippin’ like a panacake” just like the Dickies did.
