Talk Show Karaoke Split

Dig into this banana split

For whatever reason, there's been a very musical theme to the show recently. Hip-hop, classical, blues, and whatever that awful sound segment was. And who can forget our dedicated listener who put words to our theme song ... "banana spliiiiiiiit!!!" (This will launch your audio player). That brave solo performance turned out to be a hit with listeners, and inspired some to come up with their own lyrics (one of the first posts on this blog was a request to post that performance. And, feel free to add your own versions ... if you have an MP3 version to link us to, all the better!) Now, who knew there already WAS a banana split song, and in French, no less. An inquiring minded listener sent us this little ditty, which I'll label PG-13 (if you speak French): "That reminded me of a real French hit, sung by an artist known as Lio. You can hear it here."
