I seriously wished The Banana Splits lasted longer, it could've been as big as Scooby-Doo. But obscurity is still cool.

Love this song! How could a kids TV show get an ending tune of this melancholy beauty?

Saturday morning TV in the 60's was the best. We were so lucky. Cartoons that just made you want to run around the neighbourhood with Monkees, Archies and Banana Splits songs in your head all day. :)

"How 60s you want this song to sound?" "Yes."

Remember watching this as a child in the 70s in the UK wishing I could visit the places I saw - all seemed so exotic 😃

I’m 55 this year. We’re fucked up with lockdown. I remember this as a child and it’s just perfect. What a brilliant wonderful gorgeous song. Don’t want to go down the “things were better back then” route that all generations say but bloody hell right now I bet our youngsters would trade this nightmare for a piece of that magnificence

Such a BEAUTIFUL SONG from a crazy and beloved children’s show. ❤️

Lord, the songs they used to play on this show were AMAZING...

I love this song. I’ve been singing it since 1969. Thanks for posting.

This has been an underrated song, and a great harpsichord intro.

I remember I loved that song and I was around 12 at the time. I lived in Rhode Island at the time. I wish I could just jump in the screen and go back to 1969 and be 12 again with the innocence I had but with the wisdom I have now.

Wait till tomorrow. Best song they ever did.

Wonderful footage of a long-gone time! It's funny how bubble-gummy tracks from a children's show eclipse anything on the pop charts these days. I tell that it's Joey Levine doing backing vocals on this track!

Love this awesome song. I remember I was at a parade with my family when I was little and the Banana Splits were there shaking hands with the crowd ..and that darn hairy elephant came walking toward us and my little cousin screamed like a bansee and she shattered every ear drum for miles. The guy in the elephant costume got scared and ran the other way and slipped and fell on the ground , and I remember falling on the ground laughing hard myself. Thanks for the memories.

I find this song amazingly sad. It reminds me of Orwell's description of the coral paperweight in 1984. A sliver of time, bright and colourful, forever preserved in imperishable crystal, to be wondered at in these dark, drab times. I watch it and wonder whatever happened, and whatever will happen.

Just amazing how much groove & real musicianship went into these songs (for what was 'only' a Saturday morning kids tv series)....nearly 50 years later & this still sounds a giant of a song....beautiful stuff...!

Words can barely begin to describe how great this video and song are on so many levels. Like another poster said, this "filler" song is so much better than any kids show song today! Cruising the Golden Gate Bridge in a 1968 Impala convertible? It just doesn't get any better than that!!! An innocent and positive song in the face of all the chaos of Vietnam.

The Harpsicord makes it.

As with quite a few commenters here, this was one of the songs on the "Banana Splits" TV show that really stuck in my mind, after I saw it as a youngster in England in the early-80s. "Wait Til Tomorrow" was my favourite, and still is - it was written by Mark Barkan ("Pretty Flamingo") and Ritchie Adams, who sings lead on this song. Sadly, Adams passed away on 6 March 2017, aged 78.

Loved this show when i was a kid. Always liked the songs. Good times back then. It was all harmless fun.

It's so good to hear this again - even at the ripe old age of 45, I still sneak at peek or two at The Banana Splits every Saturday morning on Boomerang!

I love this, takes me back to my childhood.....

This was the absolute best Banana Splits song, and the shots of San Francisco, particularly the majestic Coit Tower, are marvelous. This was San Fran at its finest (not long after Hitchcock's "Vertigo" was filmed there), before the Transamerica Tower took over the skyline and the city got prohibitively expensive. Thanks for posting!

I am stunned by this! I swear to God, I havent heard this since I was 6 in 1970. I never really forgot it and this is the first time in 40 years I heard it again..Nice song..great show

Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork are the Banana Splits! This clip bring back so many memories of 1969 specifically watching the San Francisco skyline with the majestic Golden Gate Bridge! Can someone released the whole Banana Splits series on dvd please!

Oh my, San Francisco in the late 60s, what a sight!

My favorite Banana Splits song!

I’m almost 59 and through my era and youthful eyes in 1969 ❤️🤩 this has now become a beautiful dream to me, these memories are absolutely wonderful 😘

FINALLY, MY FAVORITE SONG!

"Those damn Hippies are getting stranger looking all the time !" Thank you for posting.

I'm six going on fifty seven. Still loving past times of being with mom. Don't judge me. She's the closest of all human beings to you ,and I miss her , great to go there imagination is heavenly.😇

Exceptionally beautiful song.

I will always love this song,

Love this song these guys rock

what can I say? Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video. The Banana Splits were a part of my childhood and to see this video and also knowing people that have played in costumes before and looking at how they react has made me tear up. We had so much fun back then. To grow up in that period was brilliant. Thank you, Banana Splits. You made us happy

I remember in the 1980s being in a record store. I was flipping through albums and someone was auditioning singles. I had no idea this song had been released as a 45-let alone on an LP. The clerk put it on and I went nuts! I had to have it. I scared the customer away-I wanted it so badly. :)

Ohh, such a beautiful moment to be and understand. The ever so lovely "Wait Until Tomorrow" with the Banana Splits joyfully frolicking through the streets (and streetcars) of San Francisco. The song really hits me when the lover in the song knows that his love won't be cared for needed though he wants to wait 'Till Tomorrow" for what he hopes will happen will never be again. Thank you for sharing this special song and video. It is way too much. So special!

This is my favorite song The Banana Splits ever made

Watched this in the 70s in the UK. This song sends me back to wonderful times as a child. A fantastic song that should be known as a wonder chart hit

Beautiful video shot on a beautiful day in 1969! Those cars alone make this video a winner. And the fact it was shot in living color is a bonus! The '60s and the '80s were the two best decades!! Takes me back to the good ole days! Just seven years old back then -- thinking about Saturday mornings past...funny how time flies!

I used to watch this on Saturday morning when I was a little guy back in 1970 at the age of 6. While this is San Francisco, the actual show was filed at Six Flags Amusement Park in Texas. Also, a young Jan Michael Vincent played in the mini live action series Danger Island ( I THINK that was the name of the miniseries).

Funny, Drooper with tears of graditude at the end: "You're too kind, too kind!"

When I was sad and disappointed about The Banana Splits did not come to MeTV for last time! That's too bad, The Banana Splits and Friends Show hasn't been arrived to DVD yet!

Since it's 1968-69 in San Francisco, nobody in the crowd seem to even notice them. I saw one driver react. Love the scenes of the city. That's back before California was ruined.

From watching this video and loving this excellent song, I finally realised a life-long ambition to drive over the Golden Gate Bridge in the sun in a convertible - well worth the wait!

One year after I was born. I feel old.

Hey, its the Splickers......great memories of my childhood and the fantastic music. I loved The Banana Splits as a kid......and I still do. They were and are still the best. Wait Til Tomorrow? Superb! As was Barry White's Doin' The Banana Splits Show. Where has this quality gone? Thanks for putting this one up Cicero. My goodness what memories you have rekindled. This is a part of my childhood I will never forget.

9n of my favorite songs from the show!!

Heaven. Oh to re live the childhood of yesterday. How lucky we were. We now can only live them through you tube and our dreams. Thank God for you tube. To all Banana Splits and their fans everywhere happiness always. xxxxxxxxx

I’ve been singing this and I’d Be A Millionaire since I was a kid. They make me so happy.

Love the song and the video

American cars just had so much style compared to what we had here in the UK. I love the '50s shapes the most but even the '60s and early '70s shapes are just amazing. Favourites : 1958 Edsel, 1958 Plymouth, 1959 Chevrolet Impala.

Pop songs of this era have aged very well, even a song from a frivolous kids show like this is so enjoyable and charming

Ted Turner's channel 17 in Atlanta used to show this show in afternoons for a time in the early 70s. This song made the biggest impression on me of all the Banana Splits songs at the impressionable age of 8 (when I could memorize something catchy after just one exposure to it!). Though I think there were multiple versions of the video and the one I saw was a "Six Flags" one. Anyway, 14 years later it was quite a thrill to find the Decca 45 at a record show in 1985 and recover the "lost" song. No Internet then and no outlets showing the show to record on VHS, so it was a big deal to me at the time...I finally get to hear it again at age 23. Now you can just punch it up on KZfaq. I'm not letting go of the 45, though.

I was just 6 years old then when this song came out. Born in SF. Makes me feel like crying. Simpler times. I had my mom and dad. Now no family.

I wish I could go back in time ,I would give up all of todays amenities and Technologies to live in those days .

This song in particular, drove me as a musician, just as much as the Mamma and the Pappas, Three Dog Night, Neil DIamond, and the classics of the era, so I will forever hold it in the pantheon... thank you for posting it so I don't have to scramble around searching for it. :-)

This record has not aged it still brings a lump to my throat

omg look at how young the world was compared to this covid shit now!! i miss my mom everyday and i have a fond memory of being 6yrs old sitting on my moms lap watching this on a black and white tv back in 1974

...They are actually on DVD now;the first series is available from Warner Home Video.

Sept 7 1968.is when this came out.great song

Allan Melvin whom played the role as ''Sam the Butcher'' in the Brady Bunch , played the role as ''Drooper'' the lion.

I enjoyed that so much! Thank You! I really was a kid growing up in Philadelphia, PA and I used to come home to watch the Banana Splits.... Thank you for sharing!

One of my all time favorite songs! I used to play this record ad infinitum as an elementary schooler... :-D

Whoever you are pmanis09, you are a star, thanks for uploading this ! I was 9 and living in Britain when the Splits were on Saturday morning TV and this song stood out. A great show and quality bubblegum pop to go with it. Thanks again.

LOVE that song!! Wish they use that song in Disney world! Reminds me of Saturday mornings where I met Mickey.

The guys each had two sets of costumes, one for location shooting, and one for filming in the studio. The costumes they used for exterior filming were much less cumbersome than the suits they wore in the studio.

They dont make music or kids programmes like this anymore. Thanks for posting my favourite BS's track

Somewhere in America, there is someone who remembers seeing a carload of bizarre overgrown carnival animals on the Golden Gate Bridge...

That's a triple oooch! Without a doubt their best record; have the Decca 45, in mono, with "We're the Banana Splits" on the other side. It's a bit worn, but this song still gets across, from the teen years till now. Unfortunately, tomorrow never came.

I've seen a few different versions on KZfaq but I think this is my favorite one. I don't know why, but it reminds me of Seattle in the mid 70's.

That brings back memories of my childhood. I was 7 in 1969 and remember this song like it was yesterday. Thanks for sharing...man I'm getting old! LOL!

It looks as though the Splits are having fun on the cable car!!!

From the creators of H.R. Puffenstuff and Lidsville. The Banana Splits was created by Sid and Marty Krofft.

No matter the era, these shows represented a more innocent time for kids.

I always did love this song. Way before my time, though.

How I miss the days of Saturday morning 70's fun!

Sounds like the work of Snorky, but he always gave the lead vocals on his songs to Bingo. That's because he couldn't stretch his vocal range beyond that of a one not bicycle horn.

I remember this very well watching this kid back in the 70s. Loved me some Banana Splits and this song is a classic from this show. Take me back to the 70s before we became so politically correct.

Good song...Wait till tomorrow ( when we're booked for dangerous driving )..

I remember this was on Cartoon Network back in 1994.

I wish some band would cover this song in 2021 & it’d get some air play

I wasborn and raised there. Watching this brings back memories.

Rumour has it that Barry White actually played one of the guys !

k..tears in my years....where did it all go? this world that we've become suck's!! where is my time machine? banana splits knew their shit

Bingo looks like my brother-in-law ..!

Hey, don't sound anything like Daws Butler, Paul Winchell, et. al. But seriously folks, a half-forgotten masterpiece of sunshine pop with a Frisco travelogue for a video(a mysterious former friend, or one of my sister's, made off with my flipbook of said town). Anything positive said here goes double for me(especialy novicethe, cjlovesjazz, etc..).

Pretty song. Reminds me of The Monkees. Even almost sounds like Mike Nesmith. He would probably hate the song LOL.

This is my all time favourite kids show from when I was growing up in the late 60s/early 70s. I have the dvd of the first series and it is still great, apart from the 'Danger Island' part which is pretty naff and poorly acted. The rest though - brilliant! And the music is great too, as this wonderful clip proves. The San Francisco tourist board should've employed em, coz this Brit would love to go there!

Just watching this on the Banana Splits dvd :)

Good quality film, thanks for uploading it, it brings back the good old Bubblegum years of the late 60s and early 70's!!

This song brings back lovely childhood Times

groovy man 🎶🎶🎶

This video is why I have always felt I had “deja vu” when I’ve gone to San Francisco...

It hurts so bad, that I'll never meet these guys. My childhood heroes.

can you imagine looking out your window and seeing them? lol

Dude it's "The Old" San Fran. The way it used to look. They should've had Herb Caen and Mayor Allioto drinking Martinis and Harvey Wallbanger's with Fleegle and Company at his resturaunt on The Wharf.

Psst ! - Can you guys keep a secret ? Bingo Fleegle and Drooper were actually played by actor/athlete Jeff Winkless and his brothers Terence and Daniel.

I miss having DirecTV. Cable provider doesn't have Boomerang. Ah, the 60's - where even kids' songs were hip. Far out, man...

Thanks for the memories!
