I read an article somewhere about a man trying to get his toddler to go to sleep and he started singing all the tv theme songs he knew. He sang Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, lots more, and finally all he could think of was Hill Street Blues. So he sang:

Now for some REALLY old TV tune-age:
There's a hold-up in the Bronx, Brooklyn's broken out in fights, There's a traffic jam in Harlem, that's backed up to Jackson Heights, There's a scout troop short a child, Khrushchev's due at Idlewild... CAR 54, WHERE ARE YOU? And away we go! :D Good Times. Any time you meet a payment. Good Times. Any time you need a friend. Good Times. Any time you're out from under. Not getting hastled, not getting hustled. Keepin' your head above water, Making a wave when you can. Temporary lay offs. Good Times. Easy credit rip offs. Good Times. Scratchin' and surviving. Good Times. Hangin in a chow line Good Times. Ain't we lucky we got 'em Good Times. |

Hello Larry
|
Now this is a story all about how my
My life got twisted upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I become the prince of a town called Bel-Air In west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground is where I spent most of my days Chillin' out,maxin',relaxin',all cool And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I begged and pleaded with her day after day, But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket I put wy Walkman(R) on and said, "I might as well kick it." First class, yo, this is bad Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass Is this what the people of Bel-Air live like? Hmm...this might be alright I whistled for a cab and when it came near The licensce plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo home to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to a house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cab yo home smell ya later Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. |
ET was talking about a new CD compilation of America's favorite TV theme songs. I believe it was Welcome Back Kotter that came out #1.
It's a shame that shows these days don't believe in theme songs (hi, LOST) in order to maximize their airtime. |

But the things that last forever... are our dear friendships Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts. And when we think about you (it makes me wanna fart!) It's 'I hope we never part'. Now get it right or pay the price. Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories. By the lakes of Anawanna.. Sat in the old pine trees. Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts. And when we think about you (this thing came apart) Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna.. Live Anawanna-wanna! Ugh!" |
