I SAW IT ON TV
(John C Fogerty)

They sent us home to watch the show comin' on the little screen;
A man named Ike was in the White House, big black limousine;
There were many shows to follow, from 'Hooter' to 'Doodyville',
Though I saw them all, I can't recall which cartoon was real.

The coon-skin caps, Yankee bats, the "Hound Dog" man's big start;
The A-Bomb fears, Annette had ears, I lusted in my heart.
A young man from Boston set sail the new frontier,
And we watched the Dream dead-end in Dallas,
They buried innocence that year.

I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on TV.

We gathered round to hear the sound comin' on the little screen,
The grief had passed, the old men laughed, and all the girls screamed
'Cause four guys from England took us all by the hand,
It was time to laugh, time to sing, time to join the band.

But all too soon, we hit the moon, and covered up the sky;
They built their bombs, and aimed their guns, and still I don't know why
The dominoes tumbled and big business roared;
Every night at six, they showed the pictures and counted up the score.

I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on TV.

The old man rocks among his dreams, a prisoner of the porch;
"The light," he says "At the end of the tunnel,
Was nothin' but a burglar's torch."
And them that was caught in the Cover are all rich and free,
But they chained my mind to an endless tomb
When they took my only son from me.

I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on TV.
I know it's true, oh so true, 'cause I saw it on TV.
 
Do you remember the sit n spins?? Never had one, but thought that they were so cool! I think my cousins had one. And jump ropes??? We didn't realize it at the time that we were having fun AND exercising all at the same time! Now days it seems that kids don't do much of either. It is organized sports and video and computer games. It it seems to take them all evening to do their homework. Why did it not take us that long? Maybe because we had to do it before we could do something fun???
 
Anybody remember some of these old detective shows? Mannix, Rockford Files, Hart To Hart, Hardcastle and McCormick, and my fave (always wanted to be like Robert Wagner)--It Takes A Thief.

Old TV shows

About about "Adam 12"? Bonanza?
How many of us came home from school in the afternoons and grabbed a snack and sat down to watch "Batman" with Adam West and Burt Ward?
Captain Kangaroo?
Whizzo the Clown?

Hey Joey....great pic of the roller skates. I think the first pair I had were almost exactly like those. Remember the song from the sixties, by Melanie?

"I got a brand new pair of roller skates; you gotta brand new key. I think we should get together and try them to see..."

Upbeat, Shindig and Ed Sullivan too?.
Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll radio?
Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll radio?

Do you remember Murray the K,
Alan Freed, and high energy?

Do you remember lying in bed with your covers
Pulled up over your head? Radio playin' so one can see.
We need change, we need it fast before rock's just part
Of the past. 'Cause lately it all sound the same to me.

Oh-oh. Will you remember Jerry Lee,
John Lennon, T. Rex and Ol' Moulty?
It's the end, the end of the 70's.
It's the end, the end of the century.

How about...

Leaning on a Lamp Post
Herman's Hermits


I'm leaning on the lamp
Maybe you think I look a tramp
Or maybe you think I'm round to steal a car
But no, I'm not a crook
And if you think that's what I look
I'll tell you why and what my motives are

I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me, oh my
In case a certain little lady comes by

Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by

She doesn't always get away
She cannot always get away
But anyway I know that she'll try
Oh me, oh my
I hope that little lady comes by

She's not the kind of girl to be late for
But this one I'd break any date for
I won't have to ask what she's late for
She'd never leave me flat
She's not a girl like that

'onderful, she's marvelous
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by

I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
Oh me, oh my
In case a certain little lady comes by

Oh, she's wonderful, she's marvelous
She's fabulous, she's beautiful
And anyone can understand why
I'm leaning on the lamp post at the corner of the street
In case a certain little lady comes by
 
How about...

Uncle Walt's Future Vision?

It's March 12, 1967. You turn on the TV set to check out what America's most trusted anchorman is saying about the future. But can you believe your eyes?

Walter Cronkite-the sober, even-keeled voice of reason-is promising that disposable dishes, robot maids and inflatable furniture are coming to a home near you. "Sounds preposterous," Cronkite tells his TV audience with a barely perceptible smile, "but some people are convinced it will happen."

This wonderful slice of futurism-entitled At Home 2001-can still be seen at the Museum of Television & Radio in New York and Los Angeles. And if CBS executives are smart they will rebroadcast the classic half-hour installment of The 21st Century series sometime in 2001.

Despite the passage of time, Cronkite's guided tour of a futuristic home is still a fascinating glimpse at the future-which-was-supposed-to-be. In 1967, when At Home 2001 first aired, the program reflected the public mood. And the public mood was giddy. Space age optimism was at an all-time peak, NASA astronauts were taking giant steps towards the moon.

For Cronkite, the challenge was to go beyond the expectations of the near-future and show how the brave world of tomorrow would transform everyday life. In At Home 2001 he chose to focus on a modern suburban dwelling. A perfect choice-for it was here, in the ranch houses of America, that corporate America's latest gadgets and gizmos would surely first appear.

Cronkite's survey began in the kitchen of the future, a place which, in his words, was "more like a laboratory than a place to bake a cake." Among the many marvels for housewives (feminism was still a few years down the road) were dishes that melted in water and a food-cooking unit straight out of the Jetsons. "A meal might be stored for years," promised Cronkite, "and then cooked in seconds."

In the living room, Cronkite demonstrated the marvels of wide-screen TV-a relaxing treat best enjoyed in the comfort of a portable inflatable chair.

"When a guest arrives," Cronkite explained, "he just pulls out his inflatable chair-a small pressurized air capsule would inflate it and it would be ready for use. At the end of the evening he'd just pull out the plug and put the deflated chair back into his little bag." Bed, bath, beyond!

Computers? Naturally they would be powerful machines. How powerful? Very powerful assured the host. Pointing to an over-sized box Cronkite verified their amazing powers. "The computer has expanded the proportions of a recipe for six into a recipe for fourteen," he explained, staring at a handful of index cards which magically cascaded out of the box on cue.

Imagine a youthful Bill Gates, still in his teenage years, watching this program and thinking, "gee, if I could only get my hands on one of those." Also try to picture the implacable Cronkite, with his trademark baritone, explaining how "we may wake up each morning to the patter of little feet-robot feet."

At times At Home 2001 goes from plausible to being downright silly. But that comes as no surprise. At the outset of the program, Uncle Walt promised viewers "it's all possible in the home of the 21st century."

Indeed, that's the way it was.

Hell bent for leather
Wishing my girl was by my side

Good victuals, love and kissin’

Head ’em up (move ’em up)
Move ’em on (head ’em up)

Keep movin’ movin’ movin’
Though their disapprovin’
Keep them doggies moving
Rawhide
Don’t try to understand them
Just rope, throw and brand them
Soon we’ll be living high and wide
My heart’s calculating
My true love will be waiting
Be waiting at the end of my ride

AHAB THE ARAB ~ Ray Stevens
(Ray Stevens)

Let me tell you about Ahab, The Arab
The sheik of the burning sands!
He had emeralds and rubies just a-drippin' off 'a him,
And a ring on every finger of his hand!
He wore a big ol' turban wrapped around his head,
And a scimitar by his side,
And every evenin', about midnight,
He'd jump on his camel named Clyde...

And ride, silently through the night to the sultan's tent,
Where he would secretly meet up with Fatima of The Seven Veils,
The swingingest number one choice dancer
In The Sultan's whole harem!
'Cause, like him and her had a thing goin', you know,
And they'd been carryin' on for some time now behind The Sultan's back!
And you could hear him talk to his camel
As he rode out across the dunes
His voice would cut through the still night desert air,
And he'd say...
Which is Arabic for, "Whoa, babies!"
And Clyde'd say...

Well, he brought his camel to a screechin' halt
In the rear of Fatima's tent,
Jumped off Clyde, snuck around the corner,
And into the tent he went.
There he saw Fatima layin' on a zebra skin rug,
With rings on her fingers,
And bells on her toes and a bone in her nose, ho ho!

There she was, friends and neighbors, layin' there in all her radiant beauty,
Eating on a raisin, and a grape, and an apricot, and a pomegranate,
A bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars,
And sipping on an R-O-C-coke-cola, listenin' to her transistor,
Watchin' The Grand Ole Opry,
And readin' Mad Magazine while she sung "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor?"!
And Ahab walked up to her and he say...
Which is Arabic for, "Let's twist again like we did last summer, baby!"
And she say, "ha ha ha...crazy, baby!"

('Round and around and around and around
And around and around and around!)

All of a sudden, The Sultan walked in!!
Ahab knew that this was the end!!
Him and Fatima was caught by surprise,
And the sultan had fire flashin' out of his eyes!!

Well, The Sultan charged at Ahab,
Intending to make a dent
In his head, but he fled with Fatima
And out of the tent they went!
They jumped on Clyde and started to ride
Cuttin' out across the sand!
With The Sultan's whole army in a hot pursuit,
On and on they ran!

Well, to make a long story short,
They got away, 'cause there weren't no animal alive
What could keep up with Clyde once he got started,
'Cause he was the swiftest steed on the whole desert babies!
And they made it across the border
Where he half-hocked all his rubies and emeralds,
And he bought 'em a swanky little split-level pad,
And lived happi'y ever after!

Yeah, and that's the story 'bout Ahab, The Arab,
The sheik of the burnin' sands!
Ahab The Arab, the swingin' sheik of the burnin' sands!
