List of songs in The Banana Splits Adventure Hour

This is a list of songs performed by the Banana Splits.
Like other TV rock bands like The Monkees and The Archies, The Banana Splits also had a career as recording artists. One album, three singles and two extended-play 45s were issued under the group's name.

===Notes===
* All Decca singles were issued in mono mixes. "Long Live Love" and "Pretty Painted Carousel" were not included on the We're The Banana Splits album. The single version of "The Tra La La Song" is a completely different recording from the TV version issued on the We're The Banana Splits album, and includes an otherwise unheard additional verse...unheard until it was covered by Liz Phair and Material Issue for the Saturday Morning Cartoons Greatest Hits various artist compilation CD (and TV special) in 1995.
* The latter two Decca singles were issued with picture sleeves. "We're The Banana Splits" was not issued with a picture sleeve in the United States, but the German issue had a picture sleeve.

===Notes===
These discs were sold as a set by mail-order through a Kellogg's cereal promotion. Both discs had picture sleeves with cartoon art of the characters on the front and song lyrics on the back. Like other premium records issued through Kellogg's, these discs came in a mailer sporting unique artwork (in this case, a drawing of Fleegle holding the two discs.) Six of the eight songs are exclusive to these records; "The Tra La La Song" (album version) and "Doin' The Banana Split" are the same recordings found on the We're The Banana Splits album, but appear here in alternate stereo mixes which are exclusive to this release. The songs appear here in "twin-track" stereo, with voices in one channel and the instrumental backing in the other, not unlike the early Beatles albums. The album mixes are mixed into more traditional stereo.

=== Notes ===
* There are two cover variations for the original album. First pressings did not include a copyright notice for Hanna-Barbera Productions, which was left off in error. Most first pressing copies have the copyright notice added on a yellow sticker at the bottom center of the front cover. Later pressings have the copyright notice in small black text in the lower left corner of the front cover. Watch out for counterfeit "white label promo" reproductions of the We're The Banana Splits album, produced in the mid-1990s.

===Turner Entertainment UK promo release (1996) - The Tra La La Song (CD single)===
====Notes====
* The artwork closely resembles that of the UK The Banana Splits Unpeeled video release, which was issued at the same time. This version of "The Tra La La Song" is a vintage mono mix originally used on the first-run showings of the Season 1 episodes, with one round of "Tra-la-las" edited towards the beginning and a couple of extra beats cut in after each verse. It's a clean take with no overdubbed sound effects. This version of "The Tra La La Song" also appeared on a US compilation CD, Television's Greatest Hits Volume 4: In Living Color.
===Rhino R2 71910 (1995) - Tube Tunes Volume One: The 70s===
