29. A song you remember from your childhood
Electric Banana Band - Banankontakt av tredje graden (Banana Encounters of the Third Kind)

Watch on YouTube

Behold, the magic of early-80s Swedish children's TV. Two comedians being Tarzan and Cheetah's nerdy cousins, fronting a band made up of the cream of Swedish session musicians, doing a funk number about bananas from outer space conquering Earth "to end the misery". Still waiting, guys...
"It's a bird!"
"No, it's a plane."
"NO, IT'S A SUPER BANANA!"

That would have been awesome, but since the special effects budget on this show was a guy with a hammer and a magic marker, I think that would have been hard.

As an American kid, I guess I was spoiled by H.R. Pufnstuf...
