"Loving You Has Made Me Bananas" is a 1968 hit novelty song composed and performed by Guy Marks.
It parodies broadcasts of the big band era with absurd lyrics.
[1] It was first released in 1968 on ABC Records as a single with "Forgive Me My Love" on the B-side,[2] some two years after "Winchester Cathedral" had triggered a revival of this musical form that had fallen out of fashion in the 1950s.
It was also released in a stereo LP in 1968 (ABC Records ABCS-648) with additional legitimate 1930s and 1940s hits sung in the same style ("Object of My Affection", "Painted Tainted Rose", "Ti-Pi-Tin", "This Is Forever", "Amapola", "Postage Machine", "Careless", "Little Shoemaker", "Forgive Me My Love" and "Little Sir Echo").
[4][5] The UK chart showing led to an appearance by Marks on Top of the Pops in May 1978.
