    Spiderman Spiderman
    Does whatever a spider can
    Spins a web any size 
    Catches thieves just like flies
    Look out! There goes the spider man

    Is he strong, listen bud
    He's got radioactive blood
    Can he swing on a thread
    Take a look overhead
    Hey there! There goes the spider man

    In the chill of night 
    At the scene of a crime
    Like a stream of light 
    He arrives just in time

    Spiderman Spiderman
    Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
    Welcome friends, he's ignored
    Action is his reward
    To him life is a great big hang up
    Wherever there's hang up
    You'll find the Spiderman!

    Here's the story, of a lovely lady
    Who was brings up three very lovely girls
    All of them had hair of gold, like their mother
    the youngest one in curls.
    
    Here's the story, of a man named Brady
    Who was busy with three boys of his own
    They were four men, living all together
    But they were all alone
    
    Till the one day when the lady met this fellow
    And they knew that it was much more than a hunch
    That this group must somehow form a family
    That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch
    
    The Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch
    That's the way we became the Brady Bunch
    

 Wierd Al does a great version of that one

    just sit right down and you'll hear a tale
    a tale of a fateful trip
    that started from this tropic port
    aboard this tiny ship
    the skipper was a mighty sailing man
    his mate was brave and sure
    5 passengers set sail that day 
    for a 3 hour tour
    a 3 hour tour
    
    the weather started getting rough
    the tiny ship was tossed
    if not for the courage of the fearless crew
    the minnow would be lost
    the minnow would be lost
    
    the ship set ground on the shore  
    of this tiny desert isle
    with Gilligan, the skipper too,
    a millionaire and his wife,
    a movie star,
    the professor and Mary-Ann  |i believe this was added later in the
    here on Gilligan's isle     |series. the earlier version was sung

	Come listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
	A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
	And then one day he was shootin at some food
	When up thru the ground came a bubblin crude.
	
	Oil that is. Black Gold. Texas Tea.
	
	Well the first thing ya know ole Jed's a millionaire
	Kin folk said "Jed, move away from here"
	Said "Californy is the place ya oughta be"
	So he loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
	
	Hills that is. Swimming pools. Movie stars.

    Remember, remember me.
    

    Does anyone know the lyrics to the 'Friends' theme song?  Who
    sings it anyway?
    
    -gc

    My all time favorite is the theme song to 'Route 66'. By Nelson Riddle.
    And I wish I could find that piece. Dreams of an ol corvette, rag top,
    a sleeping bag and a cardboard suitcase strapped to the luggage rack on
    the trunk. And driving thru place of America that most dream of doing.

      I always liked the Mary Tyler Moore theme song.  Nice words and
      music.
    
      One of my favorite TV characters was from the Beverly HillBillies.
      I liked his character because of his obscurity, his name, and just
      his character.
    
      He was Mildred Drysdale's father.  For a trivia question, what was
      the name of his character?
    
      The same actor played the grandfather in the movie, "The Parent
      Trap."  I wonder what his name was?  I'm sure he's dead now.  I
      liked him.

    Hey, my daughter was just over a year old and was watching Lassie. 
    Lassie got lost and during the episode, my little gal fell asleep.  
    When she awoke, the show was over.  Genna started crying and when
    queried as to what was wrong, she told me that Lassie was lost.  It 
    took a while to get her to accept that it was a tv show and not for
    real and that they found Lassie later in teh episode while she was
    sleeping.
    
    
    Don't you just love these cutsie stories that Fathers and Mothers tell
    about their kids?

    
    Do you want the polite answer or the honest answer 8^)?

    Go ahead Debra, tell Mike how old he looks too!!!! Sniff sniff!

    
    Now now Meatmeister, you're young and nubile.

    re: "Star Trek"
    
    Gene Roddenberry allegedly (as in an "alleged" crime) wrote those
    lyrics, and it's true to character.  Even in space, all he thinks
    about is getting women...
    
    re: "Happy Days"
    
    I liked the opening better when they used Bill Haley's "Rock Around
    the Clock" as the opening theme.
    
    re: "Beverly Hillbillies"
    
    My wife says it's Daddy Farquhar played by Charlie Ruggles.  I'll
    fess up to not knowing much trivia about this show.  Every time I
    catch the opening theme in a rerun, I think about the Saturday Night
    Live take-off they did with Arabs, complete with their own version
    of the opening theme, but I can't remember the words.
    
    re: "Flipper" movie
    
    What, another one?  They did at least two feature films at the
    time of the series.  They were the first movies I remember seeing
    at a drive-in.
    
    re: "Love American Style"
    
    It sure was a dumb show, because nothing ever "happened", it was
    all a big tease.  Worse yet, it was the direct lineal ancestor of
    "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island".
    
    re: "Lassie"
    
    When my wife was a kid, she was forbidden from watching Lassie,
    because she could not get through an episode without crying.  It
    got so bad that she couldn't even listen to that pathetic whistling
    theme at the beginning.  Never mind the end, when the doggie waves
    bye-bye by lifting his paw at you, <sob>.
    
    Me, "Lassie" never bothered me.  But "The Littlest Hobo" did.  Don't
    make train sounds around me...

re:  The Littlest Hobo.... you are so right Chris!  That show
used to depress the hell out of me (especially when I heard
the theme song).  Of course, I still watched it!

    
    >I thought it was...
    
    >"He's a warm kind of person who'll love ya to the end!"

    I remember:

    	Skippy the bush kangaroo.
    
    
    	That's all I recall.

    Here's the "F-Troop theme; "F-Troop" is still on Nick-at-Nite
    in the middle of the night.  They even made up a promo where they
    play the opening theme, with the words printed along the bottom
    of the screen so you can sing along.
    
    Incredibly, the series only used this great theme in the first
    of their two seasons.

      I know one line was, "What do you do when you're branded and

    had some of the lines in his .96, I think.
    
    Here's a couple of others, near the end I believe:
    
    A horse is a horse, of course, of course
    But this one will talk 'til his voice is hoarse
    You've never heard of a talking horse?
    Well, listen to this:  "I am Mister Ed"
    
    
    The funny thing is, for the "I am Mister Ed", they didn't use
    the actual Mister Ed voice (Rocky Lane?), but the singer of the
    song just dropped his voice down and did an impersonation of
    a guy talking as a horse.

They're creepy and they're spooky

They're altogether kooky
The Addams family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scree 'em
The Addams family.

Anybody remember the Patty Duke theme?

    
    Na na na na na na na Patty Duke!
    

Anyone besides John Astin remember Patty Duke?

	Patty should have quit the business after "The Miracle Worker".

    But they're cousins
    Identical cousins all the way
    One pair of matching bookends
    Different as night and day
    
    While Kathy adores a minuet
    The Ballet Russe and crepe suzette
    Our Patty loves to rock 'n' roll
    A hot dog makes her lose control
    What a wild duet
    
    Still they're cousins
    Identical cousins, and you'll find
    They look alike, they walk alike
    At times they even talk alike
    You can lose your mind
    When cousins are two of a kind

    Here's Kathy who's lived most everywhere
    From Zanzibar to Barkley Square
    But Patty's only seen the sights
    A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights
    What a crazy pair
    
    
    Chris

Chris, you're as good at this as Jim Henderson is at normal music.

Do you watch a lot of Nick at Night or did you just spend a lot of time
in front of the tube in your formative years?

    The beginning of it...
    
    Well Kathy has lived most every where...from ??? To Barclay Square...
    But Patty's only seen the sights a girl can see from Brooklyn heights..
    what a crazy pear...but their cousins...identical cousins all the
    way...one pair of matching bookends...different as night and day....
    
    But Kathy adores a menuet...a blah blah blah...and crepe susette
    Our Patty loves to rock 'n' roll A hot dog makes her lose control
    What a wild duet....    Still they're cousins Identical cousins, and 
    you'll find....They look alike, they walk alike at times they even talk

    I spent wayyyyy too much time watching TV when I was growing up. :-)
    What's worse, I remember junk like the "Patty Duke" theme better
    than I remember how to do my job this week!  Arrgk!
    
    Plus, I had a killer crush on Patty Duke when I was 11/12, but
    that ended real fast when they loaded all that cheap makeup on
    her in that show's last season, to make her look much older.
    Bleah...
    
    Nick at Nite used to be okay, but there's way too much 70's stuff
    on there now.  It looks like a UHF channel's schedule from 10-15
    years ago.

  Exactly.  I wish they'd go back to the 50's and 60's stuff.  I used
  to watch all the time, but not much any more (though I try to catch
  Dragnet once in a while..love that show ;-)

    "here we are face to face 
    a couple of silver spoons
    hoping to find 
    we're two of a kind

    together, we're gonna find a way...

    Ah yes, right, Cathy with a C.  "Kathy"'s not proper enough
    for a young Scotch lassie (at least I think she was Scotch...).
    
    Berkeley Square, eh?  They might have been mispronouncing it
    in the song then; I seem to remember something that sounded
    like "Barkley", er, "Barclay".  Oh well...

    re: "Patty Duke Show"
    
    I'd mentioned that I'd had a crush on Patty Duke when I was a kid.
    When the show ran on Nick at Nite for a while around 1990, I found
    myself admiring the mother, argh.  Same thing happened with June
    Lockhart when "Lost in Space" was making the rounds in the late 1980's.
    
    Chris

Roger Ramjet, he's our man
Hero of our nation
For his adventures just be sure
To stay tuned to this station.
...
So come and join us, all you kids
For lots of fun and laughter
As Roger Ramjet and his men
Get all the crooks they're after.


I think there's also a line about his "men," Yankee, Doodle, Dan and Dee
(three boys and a girl).

    When Roger takes a proton pill
    The crooks begin to worry
    'cause they all know they'll have to face (not sure about that line) 
    The wrath of proton's fury

    They were pronouncing it correctly in the theme song, Chris; Berkeley
    Square is in London, and they speak differently there 8^).

        Full of hopes and full of fears, 
        Full of dreams that last the years, in Seattle...

    	Travelin' around from town to town
    	Sometimes I think I'll settle down,
    	But I know I'd hunger to be free
    	Roamin's the only life for me

    Here Come the Brides...
    
    	The blues skies you've ever seen in Seattle 
    	And the hills the greenest green in Seattle

    	Full of hopes and full of fears
    	Full of laughter, full of tears 
    	And the dreams ....the years in Seattle....
    
    	Re:  The "Flipper" movie -- there were two of them made in the
    	'60's.  But, there is a new one in the works because of renewed
    	interest since the series is back on, and the current trend to make
    	all those baby-boomer series into movies:  Flintstones, Bradies,
    	Casper, etc., etc.....

    >>	Travelin' around from town to town
    
    Ah, thanks.  It's been so many years since I saw this, I forgot
    the first line.  I guess there weren't any other verses, then?
    I thought I'd forgotten an entire verse...
    
    I liked the show too, but after all these years, all I can remember
    are all those sad parting endings.  That must've been a real fun show
    to work on week after week... maybe they had the dog do tricks between
    takes to lighten things up a bit.
    
    
    >>	...the current trend to make
    >>	all those baby-boomer series into movies:  Flintstones, Bradies,
    >>	Casper, etc., etc..... 
    
    Yes, and you think they'd learn after countless floperoos.
    I guess it's still easier making an inferior copy of something
    old, than it is to be creative and come up with something new.
    Plus, it's got a built-in audience of old-timers like me who
    might go see it just out of curiosity.
    
    My pick for The Worst Movie Ever Made is one of these, by the way:
    "The Beverly Hillbillies".  It pains me to even think about it...
    
    Chris

There was a Casper TV series?

 ZZ       Ah, the Smut Barge 8^).
    
    No it was the lust boat.

    
    you're both wrong. it was the lust barge.
    
    it was on after cattlecar phallactica. and before die-nasty.

    -b

>> There was a Casper TV series?
    
    Yes... well it was a cartoon of course, but it was on every week
    on ABC.  For a while it had the title "The New Casper Cartoon Show".
    At the beginning and end they'd have all the Harvey characters come
    out "on stage" and sing an introductory/closing theme that ended
    with "the New Casper Cartoon Showwww-ohhh-ohhh-ohhhh...", as if it
    were some kind of Broadway event.

The end of the Civil war was near,
When quite accidentally
A hero who sneezed,
Abruptly seized retreat
And reversed it to victory.

His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
His proud little family group
But pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he command F-Troop.

Where Indian (sic) fights
Were colorful sights
And nobody takes a lickin'
Where paleface and redskin (sic)
Both turn chicken.

When drilling and fighting get them down
They know their moral won't droop
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume, with a bang and a boom
F-TROOP!!

Hmm, that Monkees thing reminds me of a spot of plagiarism by The Macc Lads:

Eh Up, we're the Macc Lads,

And supping lots of beer,

We like chips and gravy,
from chippy down Sunderland Street,
Sometimes we have pudding,
and sometimes mushy peas.

    The closing theme is similar, but it has the "comin' to your town"
    line that somebody already mentioned (and which I've forgotten :-)).
    Also, the opening theme fades as above, while the closing theme
    ends with a tremolo-drenched C7 chord after the "comin' to your
    town", vintage 60's stuff.

    Oh, good, the "Three's Company" theme has come up...
    
    I've always wondered what some of the lines in the second verse
    was trying to say.
    
    Come and dance on our floor
    Take a step that is new

    Three's company, too

	Here she comes
	Flying o'er the streets
	She gets the funniest looks from
	Everyone she meets.

    it was the school principal, not Sally Field, that sounded like a
    monkey in Forrest Gump.

>    Anyone remember Diver Dan?

    	Do I!  (I don't remember the theme song though.  Sorry.)
    	I was about 4 years old, and I was sitting in my father's
    	favorite lounge chair, and I was pretending that it was
    	an octopus just like the one Diver Dan was fighting, so I
    	fought it too.  I had a plastic serrated knife from my
    	sister's tea set, and I hacked at the octopus' arms (the
    	chair arms) with the knife, just like Diver Dan.
    
    	And I've blocked out the rest of the evening after my father
    	got home...

    I wish I was a spa-aceman
    The fastest guy alive
    I'd fly you 'round the universe
    In Fireball XL-5
    
    (forgotten lines omitted)
    
    My heart would be a fireball
    A fireball
    Every time I gazed into your starry eye-eye-eyes!

Where the (something) is hers and hers and his
Three's company too

    Out of the night,
    When the full moon is bright,
    Comes the horseman known as Zorro.
    This bold renegade carves a Z with his blade,
    A Z that stands for Zorro.
    
    Zorro, with heart so cunning and free,
    Zorro, who makes the sign of the Z.
    
    He is polite,
    But the wicked take flight,
    When they catch the sight of Zorro.
    He's friend of the weak,
    And the poor, and the meek,
    This very unique Senor Zorro.
    
    chorus... 
   

    There's a hold-up in the Bronx
    Brooklyn's broken out in fight
    There's a traffic jam in Harlem
    That's backed-up to Jackson Heights

    Kruschev's due at Idlewild,

Today's "Over The Hedge" (a new comic strip in the Globe) is about websurfing
and finding the words to sitcom theme songs.  So does anybody remember the
rest of the lyrics to the Petticoat Junction theme?

    	re .220
    
    	What of the Petticoat Junction lyrics were posted so far?
    	And where?
    
    	I remember some.  Perhaps I can add to what's been posted.

None here that I remember.  The strip has:

There's Uncle Joe
He's a-movin' kinda slow
At the Junction
  Petticoat Junction.

    There's a little hotel
    called the Shady Rest
    at the Junction

    	There's a little hotel
    	called the Shady Rest
    	at the Junction.  (Petticoat Junction)
    	It is run by Kate
    	come and be her guest
    	at the Junction.  (Petticoat Junction)
    	Lots of curves, you bet!
    	Be more when you get
    	to the Junction.  
    			Pettico-o-OAT JUNCTION (whoo-o, whoooo)
    
    	(The next verse has the Uncle Joe line, but I don't remember it.)

    
    didn't Edgar Buchanon play old uncle joe?

He's movin' even slower now.

    I know most of this is wrong, but maybe someone will recall the correct
    lyrics from "My Favorite Martian."
    
    He's a man from Mars
    And he's right here for you
    Look among the stars 
    He's watching everything you do...
    

    I could be wrong, but I don't think that the theme from "My Favorite
    Martian" had lyrics.  It's "playing" in my head, and I don't hear any
    singing, and it won't stop.  :-)
    
    Chris

    Oh great!  Now I've got it stuck in my head, too.  Just had to mention
    it didn't you!  Just for that...
    
    Don't think of the song, "It's a small world".  It's a small world
    after all, it's a small world after all (add infinitum and nauseum).
    
    That'll learn ya!!  8^)

    <--Drat, it has backfired.  I now have the martian theme and "it's a
    small world" wandering through my brain.  
    
    Someone shoot me.

    "It's a Small Mars"
    
    I'm stuck on the middle of the song where they get out the
    tone generator and do that 50's B-movie weeeeeeeeoooooooo
    sound up and down.
    
    Such a short, unmemorable theme, but there it is, stuck in there
    good and tight!  :-)
    
    Chris

    I don't CARE whether or not you really are Mars, God of War.
    
    Even if you ARE, you get only ONE Phobos, dat's Deimost dat's possible.

    whatever ya do..don't think of the "Barney" theme!!

    One of my kids bought an "I Hate Barney" CD, containing ten or so
    anti-Barney songs, performed by Freida Payne ("Band of Gold").
    It was kind of strange at first hearing her distinctive voice
    singing these songs.
    
    Too bad though, most of the songs are extremely mediocre.  They
    had a great opportunity to skewer Barney with some good satire
    if they could've come up with it, but they squandered it.

        thats when he goes away.

    Not the a song but the theme tune to NYPD Blue..... I still think 
    that's great !

    
    	There's a 3-CD series out called "Tube Toons" ... 1 for the 70's,
    	1 for the 70's/80's and 1 for the 80's.
    
    	A bunch of the songs you'd expect to see on there, from Mike Post
    	etc.
