WHAT IS "NO WOMAN, NO CRY"...:

Did the Banana Splits inspire Bob Marley? (BBC, 8/20/08)

One is a children's TV classic, the other a famous reggae musician - but does the similarity between the Banana Splits' theme song and Bob Marley's Buffalo Soldier suggest the reggae icon had a rather unusual muse?

Listen to Buffalo Soldier - key lyric "Woy yo yo" - and The Tra La La Song, and it might seem like there is an echo in the room.


...but an homage to The Little Rascals?
