A punk band doing the theme song for a kids TV show is awesome in itself. When you think about that, what song could be more perfect for Hit Girl? None that I can think of. The Dickies have always been such a fun band too.
I've probably seen the Dickies at least 100 times...and yes, I can back that up, considering how frequently the played, and I grew up in SoCal in the 70s/80s. The Dickies seemed to be added to a lot of large shows, a lot of them at the Olympic Aud, and Fenders.... one of the best old school bands ever.
Had their album, the incredible shrinking dickies with Give it back on it. They would release their records in all different colours. Nights in white satin was see through. Wish I still had them, they were originals. Wonder if they would be worth anything.
For those who don’t know this was a cover of the intro song from the tv show the banana splits which ran from 1968-1970 there was also a horror movie based of the show which warner brothers made
It's funny how The Tra la la's melody rythm and music seems like the wo yo yo of Buffalo Soldier from Bob Marley and the Wailers. But one more time the Dickies' Banana's Split is oldiest..
As someone who has seen these guys live several times in the 80's and 90's, I have to say it is Kick Ass that they used this song! Besides, the Dickies stole it from a kid's show anyway :)
The start of this song is also in Nimona, with the title character also being played by Chloe Grace Moretz - what a great, sneaky little actress reference
There is no way this song reminds me of something else than the absolutely perfect and brutal scene where Hit Girl earned a place between the iconic characters of this decade.
+Just Curious Right there with you mate. Punk died in late '78 (with the release of Metal Box). Everything that has called itself or been labelled punk since then are just retro copyists.
Man, I am so grateful for movie soundtracks, because I fall in love with new bands that I missed out on or didn't know about. The Dickies is an amazing band, and Kick-Ass was definitely a ass-kicking movie.
If I had a nickel for everytime a movie with Chloe Grace Moretz has a scene where there's an action sequence involving this song playing in the background Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
I'm a Dickie's fan from 25 years ago. This song was smokin' back then and is still greatness. If it was used in a movie then I say it was a great choice!
I was in rehab with this guy when i was like 19....he was awasome. He had the best stories and gave me a road map of what not drugs to do. Was like drugs are bad but if your going to do them....dont do this and this...we were good friends for a few years. Then just lost touch to me romping around being a gutter punk. Ill will always miss my buddy. Love ya man.
You were in rehab with Leonard? That's awesome, he seems like a fun guy, and doesn't surprise me at all that he has been in rehab. The Dickies are still going strong to this day, they're planning on releasing a final album. Their latest single Gary Glitter Getaway slaps.
The Bannana Splits always seemed like a place I wanted to be when I was a child. The Dickies bring it all back to the punk rocker I became. The sense of humor with the pathos. They were the strain of humor in the pathos when I was 5.
My goodness. And to think I used to practice my dancin to this up and down the front room once dad left to collect mum from work. Jumping.... diving....... etc etc.....Phew..... I'm worn out just typing this nowadays. :D But..... Great upload. Cheers..!!
Nothing can beat that fight scene with Hit Girl. Best I've ever seen in a movie. Be honest; how many people would know this song were it not for Kick-Ass? It's downright iconic now.
I love working with Leonard(the lead singer for those that dont know) and hes got such hilarious stories. He was so excited about this song being in Kick-Ass.
my first punk gig, aged 15 [1978] port talbot, troubador club.changed my life. porthcawl punks 4 ever,munksy, carlo,gar pretty boy field. best days ever.
If I had a nickel everytime Chloë Grace Moretz was in a movie with this song, I’d have 2 nickels.Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right?
This song is great! My dad showed me this a couple months ago and the song keeps getting stuck in my head. Other songs of theirs are good too. P.S. love the banana mics=)
Seen on TOTP back in '79 and it was straight out to buy it. Fun stuff for a lad back then but they had much better that is for sure. A great band The Dickies, Fan Mail is still one of my favourite songs of the period.
I just randomly clicked on this and it is totally awesome. I hate to admit I'd never heard of the Dickies before, but there it is. Where have they been all my life?
My sister kept humming this soung and for months we couldn't figure out what tv show it was on but this morning she found the Banana Splits (tv show theme on youtube), and I just found this video. :)
I love his bananamic. I used to watch this show when I was a kid. I totally love this cover! It's like the past... only it grew up about as much as I did.
I'm a kid today. 19. Saw The New York Dolls,UK Subs,The Damned when I was 16. Saw The Dickies and other bands when I was 17. Saw PiL, Rancid, Reel Big Fish,Buzzcocks and many more at 18.
I first got into The Dickies around 81 -82 , and I was late. Punk had long since gone trendy , but not in a Hot Topic / Shit Punk Pop manner , yet. Pop Punk is The Dickies , Vibrators , Boys , Buzzcocs , etc. I remember seeing the "CPO Sharkey" episode , but I was'nt into that stuff, yet. Saw The Dickies a few weeks ago , still great.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I LIKE IT SO MUCH! Thank you! My daughter drove me crazy with this, and then these guys! Use it as HIT GIRL'S FREAKING THEME SONG!
Was there n loved em ;)>
Nelly the elephant being anouther
Their cover of Toxic Avenger is great too!
they also did killer klowns from outer space
Saw the Dickies live many times. Very talented band that deserved far more fame.
im so jealous
The Dickies are the single most under rated band in the history of Rock and Roll!
I love them too. But it might be do their over use of drugs that then faded.
Of course. Because they are no Rock and Roll but Punk Rock. There is a big difference.
dont forget the descendents

Saw them many times in California. Still have their vinyl records and CDs. Probably the best high energy group of all time.
This video made my night! Absolutely brilliant! I still have the single on yellow wax and saw them live with 999 back in the day. RIP Chuck Wagon.

Does anyone here remember the banana splits show and,the original version of this song?
I do. We had a Banana Splits club when I was a child. My brother always had to be Fleegle because he was the head of them. I was Drooper.
hells yeah
_wut_
*the*
_hell_
the only man who can sing with a mouthful of banana
Possibly the greatest punk song ever.
Went from Bubblegum Pop to Punk! Greatest improvement!
La la la la la la Laaaa la la
Not "possibly", it is...lol.... 🙊
It's funny how The Tra la la's melody rythm and music seems like the wo yo yo of Buffalo Soldier from Bob Marley and the Wailers. But one more time the Dickies' Banana's Split is oldiest..
This cover is amazing, but the energy of this performance is through the charts!!!!
Have u seen Nellie the Elephant cover by toy dolls
Hit girl rules.
Damn, mother fucking , right!

Bro is faster to rock star but banana eats banana splits to better and over and over but at least to eat banana
This song is *Kick Ass*.
No it did not steal this song for my God sakes
this is my favorite song
As someone who has seen these guys live several times in the 80's and 90's, I have to say it is Kick Ass that they used this song!

Was so epic and funny to hear this while Nimona is in the Kwispy dwagon form. 🐉🤣
one of the great punk/new wave songs. Thanks for posting such a high quality version. (And my copy of Incredible Shrinking was orange!)
There is no way this song reminds me of something else than the absolutely perfect and brutal scene where Hit Girl earned a place between the iconic characters of this decade.
This version would be ideal for the R rated Banana Splits movie, wouldn't it?
There is a horror movie being made, there is a trailer for it. lol it rated R
@@justshootemgaming5761 it would be the Deadpool of the horror movies
Don't think so... The original childish version actually makes the horror scenario weirder and scarier
Yup

Thimbs up if your here because you like classic punk rock

+Loadouts Punk Rock kicks ass cos I lived through that era :)

one of the great covers of our time ! a classic , still got this 7" on yellow vinyl.
I totally agree , but not let us forget where this song came from "The banana split show " WACKY" as fuck.🤣 . I should know coz I was there. 🍌🍌🍌👌
If I had a nickel for everytime a movie with Chloe Grace Moretz has a scene where there's an action sequence involving this song playing in the background Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

I could always count on my Dickies mixtape to pull me outta the dumps! Leonard Graves Phillips has such an original voice!
Nimona
Thank you What We Do In The Shadows for introducing me to this band.
The Dickies have always been criminally underrated.
Banana mic for the win! I like how he eats more and more of it as he’s singing.
The Bannana Splits always seemed like a place I wanted to be when I was a child. The Dickies bring it all back to the punk rocker I became. The sense of humor with the pathos. They were the strain of humor in the pathos when I was 5.
This is so deep I became a banana
Дурак😂
Journey started from Nimona. Remembered hearing the Banana Splits from the kickass movie. Found The dickies and that led me here. I need a beer now.
Drums in this song are closed to grindcore style. It´s fucking awesome.
I could watch this all day. It's frickin' awesome.
Dickies forever! Long live Nimona!
I didn't come here because of the song being used in kickass, i came because the song is kick ass.
for real. dickies forever.
I remember buying it in `78, bright yellow vinyl :)
I never noticed this song in kick ass. even though I watched it several times before discovering this song on my own
This song is played over a masked 12 year old girl killing like 6 people with doublade spear. :D
@ANewEvilRising it's a bit hard to not notice.
I have NO idea why I love this song SO MUCH!
Anarchy
Just saw these guys last night. God they still have it
Great tribute to a great show. Dickies rule.
My goodness.
And to think I used to practice my dancin to this up and down the front room once dad left to collect mum from work.
Jumping.... diving....... etc etc.....Phew..... I'm worn out just typing this nowadays. :D
But..... Great upload.

my dad introduced me to the dickies .. parenting done right!
Not his I hope
Nothing can beat that fight scene with Hit Girl. Best I've ever seen in a movie. Be honest; how many people would know this song were it not for Kick-Ass? It's downright iconic now.
I know it from the early 70's kid show "Banana Splits"
I dint know it was from Kick Ass, I knew it from the Banana Splits show.
BUCS XC carnage
Yellow vinyl. B-side Hideous and Got It At The Store. A long time ago. A real long time come to think about it!
yes it is, I've still got it mate !! oh happy days when I collected every 7" and LP that come out by this band, every time a different colour !!
Agreed, when that happened, I knew this was a must-buy. One of the most unexpected and awesome introductions I've ever seen in film.
Banana is love, banana is life.
Bananas have layers....Ogres have layers.
Thumps up if your here for the Banana Splits Show!
Yep!
Here from dead meat
I love the old show
Ava tale that one is pretty good to
the television show or the horror movie?
I never heard of this song but now I will always associate it with leg amputations and purple hair! Love it.
I love working with Leonard(the lead singer for those that dont know) and hes got such hilarious stories. He was so excited about this song being in Kick-Ass.
Banana Splits (The Tra La La Song) - ~ - Lyrics
----By The Dickies
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
Tra la la tra la la la
One banana two banana three banana four
Four bananas make a bunch and so do many more
Over hill and highway the banana buggies go
Come along to bring you the banana splits show
Four banana three banana two banana one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork
Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Making up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone
Four banana three banana two banana one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun
Flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork

Thanks! This always makes me grin like a possum! 😄
The fact that this song hasn't been on any of the minions movies is a crime
The fact we have minion movies is a crime.
Everybody gangsta till Hit Girl comes in.
Never seen the movie Kick Ass, but played this driving through Alicante and got some really weird looks and laughs
great and comical song, this makes me want a sweet banana split ice cream now.
I mean, I liked The Dickies before, but the sheer AWESOME-ness that is Kick-Ass just intensifies my like for this song!
brilliant,my era,
Dawn of the Dickies is in my vinyl collection.

How tragic to regain newfound popularity.
