Scrump:
He's the Lone Ranger because he was the only survivor of a group of Texas Rangers wiped out by evil men.
He recovered in a deserted silver mine (the source of the silver for his bullets)
Not wanting anyone to know that the original attack had been unsucessful he disguised himself with a mask.

The above from memory, I'll now find the accurate info on a website somewhere

Gerry, for some reason, more of the Mighty Mouse song popped into my head as I was driving home tonight. Here's what I remember:

That means that Mighty Mouse is on his way.

Today is a day that is filled with surprises.
Nobody knows what's gonna happen.
Why, you might find yourself on an elephant or on the moon,
or riding in an auto underneath a blue lagoon.
Yes, we Mousekateers think you're gonna have a thrill,
'Cause you know it's true that a laugh can cure all ills.
So, if you're pleasure-bent, we are proud to present

As one of the oldest still active radio deejays, I have a need to find an audio copy of the Mickey Mouse Club song used as their "goodbye" theme. However, and I know this sounds "picky", I can only use the version of this that was included as a track on an Annette Funicello Album about 1962, I think. It's the one that ends, "M-I-C---K-E-Y----M-O-U-S-E----Forever Let us hold our banners highhhhh" I hope this is good enough to be as specific as I need for this. If anyone might somehow have this old viny album in their collection, and would be willing to either transfer that track to a CD, or just sell me the album that song is on, please let me know. It will be of great assistance to me in continuing my 57 years, and counting, radio disk jockey career.

Anyone who wants to hear the song Sheriff John would sing for birthdays can go to latvlegends.com/sheriffjohn. It's called "The Birthday Cake Polka" Just scroll down the page and click on where it reads in purple. You'll hear it in RealPlayer. But you'll have to wordprocess the words yourselves. I had to run it at least seven times to get it just right.
   I always wanted to know what all the words were to that. It's my favorite birthday song.

When I was teaching Kindergarten, there was a little boy who's family was quite religious and did not believe in watching TV. The only time Steven watched television was when he stayed at his cousin's house. One day, he asked me if Popeye was a Bad Cartoon? I asked him why he would think it was bad?   He said, "because they always sing that song POPEYE THE SINNER MAN."

These old kid's shows even had songs for their commercials. Anybody out there remember Uncle Johnny Coons? He was a Chicago show that went national for a couple of years.

When mother says go take a bath
Don't frown and start to mope.
Just join your Uncle Johnny Coons
And wash with Lifebouy soap.
OOOOOh
I like pink Lifebouy soap
Because it smells so keen.
I like it cause it makes my skin

I wish I was a spaceman,the fastest guy alive.
I'd fly you round the universe in Fireball XL5.
Way out in space together,conquerors of the skies.
My heart would be a fireball,a fireball.

Every time I gaze into your starry eyes.

We’d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon.
We’d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon.
To a wonderland of stardust.
We’ll zoom our way to Mars.

My heart would be a fireball, a fireball.

And you would be my Venus of the stars.

And there's more ..
Marina, Aqua Marina,
What are these strange enchantments that start whenever you're near?

Marina, Aqua Marina,
Why can't you whisper the words my heart is longing to hear?


Your magic to me, a beautiful mystery.
I'm certain to fall I know, because you enthrall me so.

Marina, Aqua Marina,
Why don't you say, that you'll always stay, close to my heart.

In my opinion Troy Tempest was just wasting his time with Marina - it was a relationship going nowhere! Atlanta was clearly the girl for him - 45 years later I still feel the injustice.

Somebody mentioned Sheriff John, a Los Angeles kid show. Beside the birthday song, his theme song was:

Laugh and be happy
And the world will laugh with you.
When people see you're happy,
Then they'll be happy too.
So wear a smile, and in a while
Your cares will go away.
So laugh and be happy
All the livelong day.

Words to live by even 50 years later.

Mickey Mouse Club:

Special Guest Day: "Today is (Tuesday???), you know what that means - we're gonna have a special guest!..."

At the end of Special Guest day, they'd present the Guest with a spangled sort of glittery Mickey Mouse hat and sing: "Here's your hat, here's your ears, you're an honorary Mouseketeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!!!"

Talent Round-up day: "Saddle your ponies, here we go, down to the talent rodeo.....something something something... Join the Talent Round-Up! Round 'em up! (Round 'em up!) Bring 'em in! (Bring 'em in!) Everybody's sure to win... Something something something.... Oh, what a rodeo! .... something something...Bring along Susie, Jack, and Joe, join the Talent Round-Up!"

Encyclopedia song: "Get the EN-cyclopedia, E N C Y C L O P E D I A (repeat) Just look inside this book and you will see From Africa all the way to Z..."(at which point a picture of a zebra in the encyclopedia would kick Jiminy Cricket)

When criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
The cry goes up both far and near
for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!

When in this world the headlines read
of those whose hearts are filled with greed
who rob and steal from those who need
To right this wrong with blinding speed
goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!

I can't believe I actually remember all the words to this:

Little Lulu, Little Lulu
With freckles on your chin
Always in & out of trouble
But mostly always in
Using Daddy's necktie
For the tail of your kite
Using Mommy's lipstick
For the letters you write

Though the clock says half past seven
It's really after ten
Looks like Lulu's been preparing[?] it again
Though you're wilder than a Zulu
And just as hard to tame
Little Lulu I love you-lu just the same
The same
Little Lulu I love you-lu just the same


You want old? How about this - I can remember the address you had to write to in order to send away for a Winky-Dink magic shield (made of greeny cling-plastic) so you could draw on your TV screen without your mom killing you:

Rob K

PS OK, I'm two and a half years late but better late than never.

    Spiderman, Spiderman,
    Does whatever a spider can
    Spins a web, any size,
    Catches thieves just like flies
    Look Out!
    Here comes the Spiderman.
      
    Is he strong?
    Listen bud,
    He's got radioactive blood.
    Can he swing from a thread
    Take a look overhead
    Hey, there
    There goes the Spiderman.
      
    In the chill of night
    At the scene of a crime
    Like a streak of light
    He arrives just in time.
      
    Spiderman, Spiderman
    Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
    Wealth and fame
    He's ingnored
    Action is his reward.

    To him, life is a great big bang up
    Whenever there's a hang up
    You'll find the Spider man.

Back to Top

Super Chicken

    When you find youself in danger,
    When you're threatened by a stranger,
    When it looks like you will take a lickin', (puk, puk, puk)
    There is someone waiting,
    Who will hurry up and rescue you,
    Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!)
      
    Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it,
    Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk, ack!)
      
    He will drink his super sauce
    And throw the bad guys for a loss
    And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk)
    There is one thing you should learn
    When there is no one else to turn to
    Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk)
    Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!)

I have to say my love for folk music started with Tony Saletan in the early 60s. (I'm not sure if that's the way his name was spelled) who was with WGBH. He'd sing Pick a Bale of Cotton with his guitar and glasses. I loved his show when I was 4 and 5; picked up a record of his of Revolutionary Songs in the 70s.

I also remember the Gentle Giant and fell in love with Early One Morning... just played on the harp while the "giant" pulled out a tiny dollhouse chair and invited tykes like me to sit down. I don't remember anything about the show... but I LOVED that song.

Terrific is the name for me,
'cause I'm so clever.
I can be what I want to* be,
and if you'd like to see,
follow, just follow me!
If you see a plane up high ...
a diesel train go roaring by ...
a bumble bee ... or a tree ...
it's me!
When there is trouble,
I'm there on the double.
From the Atlantic to Pacific,
they know Tom Terrific!

*I think "want to" was actually pronounced something like "wanna".

Don

I'm going back to Sesame Street, here. This is one of my favorite songs, written by the Late, Great, Joe Raposo for the first season, back in 1969:


Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad

Sing
Sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing --
Sing a song.

And then, there's the classic written by David Axlerod and Sam Pottle (1974) that could be Mudcat's theme song:

(link to a YouTube video, from the Sesame Street Channel):

La-di-da-di-dum, la-di-da-dum...
What's the name of that song?
It goes la-di-da-di-dum, la-di-da-di-dum...
Something, something "Birds,"
La-di-da-dum, la-di-da-di--
I wish I remembered the words!

Champion the Wonder Horse from Gene Autry's Flying A Productions, sung by Frankie Laine:

Champion the Wonder Horse! Champion the Wonder Horse!
Like a streak of lightnin' flash across the sky,
Like the swiftest arrow whizzin' from a bow,
Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly,
You'll hear about him everwhere you go.
The time will come when everyone will know the name of
Champion the Wonder Horse! Champion the Wonder Horse!

Hey, Clueless Don (from 2007):
It was Cliff Edwards, aka Ukulele Ike, aka Jiminy Cricket, who sang "I'm no fool."

I'm trying to find this song on record, but I think its from a Romper Room or Captain Kangaroo record I used to have as a kid.

F-O-X spells Fox
B-O-X spells Box
F-O-X and B-O-X means there's a FOX in the BOX

B-U-G spells Bug
R-U-G spells Rug
B-U-G and R-U-G means there's a BUG on the RUG

and so forth. Anyone heard of this song???
