The music video for the 'Let's Split a Banana Split' track by Lullatone captures the meaning behind it beautifully while also providing a striking visual for fans. Although there could easily be a hundred and one different connotations behind the sweet and innocent tune, the video concentrates specifically on the [frozen treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devoured-campaign) it refers to. From the [classic banana split](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolatedipped-banana) to a [rainbow popsicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frollies), the song will create frozen treat cravings instantly.

What makes the Let's Split a Banana Split music video even more interesting, however, is its focus on un-melting the treats. Coupled with a grainy, vintage film aesthetic, the video is clearly made with teenagers and young adults in mind. The song is off of the Japanese duos' Summer Songs album.
