Funke Banana Split


When I just got going on this blogging business not that long ago, the first post I wrote included a shout-out to the hilarious John Funke and his righteously out of control radio show Backwoods. Somehow those words were lost forever. But that loss just gives me the opportunity now to say that at 10am every Saturday morning on WMBR (88.1 MIT) you can hear Mr. Funke mixing-up a 2 hour dose of “the best in vintage rock'n'roll, country western and rhythm'n'blues.” Here’s a youtube clip of one of the tunes he played today, “Doin’ the Banana Split” (authored by none other than Barry White) by, yes, the Banana Splits. I’m still trying to get over the cognitive dissonance brought on by a song this funky being a part of any kids show. Get down children!
