Gotta love the good grammar in the Flipper theme!



They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he's near!

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

That must have made the subway ride far more enjoyable. There are so many good things in this world...music on a subway is one of them. I remember being at Hershey Park and riding a bus shuttle to the parking lots. We all broke out singing in different songs some of the passengers started. The whole bus felt like we were one big family; though we were all total strangers...

in the middle of the summer, in the middle of the park.there began a great advenger for a boy whos name was mark..he had come to see the magic man along with all the children and twas so began the day that mark was never to forget.
he performed all sorts of miricles, and mark was so impressed, that when the time began to close, he lagged behind the rest.
then quietly, he did return ,the secret of the hat to learn, but everything had gone away and darkness ruled the set.the moment that he touched the hat the room began to grow, >forgot the rest><
'when you find yourself in danger,when your hassled by a starnger, when it looks like you might take a lickin'..there is always someone waiting who will hurry up and rescue you, just callll for super chicken.
and if your afraid, you'll have to overlook it, because you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
he will drink his supersauce and throw the bad guys for a loss, then he will bring them in alive and kickin'.
there is one thing you should learn, when there is no one else to turn to calll for super chicken..call for super chicken..bagak!!'
the super chicken cartoon. wow, i shouldnt know that so clearly, should i? haha...
but ol sid & marty croft sure had a lot of good ones, its no wonder we all used to get high!!

M*A*S*H

No words to remember from the television series, but what I remember is that it meant 'bedtime', coming on as it did at 8pm. I knew the theme song long before I ever watched an episode!
