Each show represented a meeting of the Banana Splits Club, and the wraparounds featured the adventures of the club members, who doubled as a musical quartet, meant to be reminiscent of the Beatles and the Monkees.
Unlike their human predecessors, however, the Banana Splits were bizarre, anthropomorphic animals: rhythm guitarist Drooper was a lion, lead guitarist Fleegle was a dog, keyboardist Snorky was an elephant, and drummer Bingo was a monkey.

The Banana Splits' bubblegum pop rock 'n' roll was provided by studio professionals, including Joey Levine (I Enjoy Being a Boy, It's a Good Day for a Parade), Al Kooper , Barry White (Doin' the Banana Split),and Jimmy Radcliffe provided his song (I'm Gonna Find a Cave).

World Listening Day is an annual celebration held on July 18 to promote the importance of conscious and attentive listening in daily life. This event is organized by the World Listening Project, an organization dedicated to education and research on sound and listening.

The goal of World Listening Day is to raise awareness about the acoustic environment, fostering a greater awareness of the sounds around us and how they influence our lives and the environment.

This day also aims to highlight the importance of listening as a tool for understanding and connection between people, as well as for environmental care, helping to identify and mitigate noise pollution and other sound-related issues.

The celebration includes activities such as soundwalks, field recordings, workshops, concerts, and other forms of sound-related art and education. This year, we went to the town of Escucha in the Bajo Aragón region, in the Cuencas Mineras district, to honour the name of the town and... listen.
