The humiliation of Bingo

"Two Banana, four banana, one banana, three

Swinging like a bunch of monkeys hanging from a tree

Hey there everybody won't you come along and see

How much like Banana Splits everyone can be"

His name was Bingo. B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was the name-o they gave him. If that wasn't bad enough, he was also know as the "Goofy Gorilla." He was one of the original Banana Splits from from 1968-1970. And this is what I'm talking about my friends. This is how the media treats "monkeys."

Bingo was the drummer...a distant relative of Ringo, perhaps? And why is it that simians are always stuck with drums or cymbals?

But Bingo was the first to split from the Splits after arguments over his alleged abusive smoking of banana peel. Some reports say Bingo can still be seen at the San Diego Zoo, tossing feces into the adoring crowds during peak zoo hours at the gorilla pit.

Bingo, we hardly knew you.
