<p>I have ALL the Partridge Family Albums. I even have the songs on my IPod and listen to it at work! People think I’m crazy.</p>
<p>Do we all feel old now?</p>
<p>Love, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We’re expecting you.
Love, life’s sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you. </p>
<p>Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance. </p>
<p>Love won’t hurt anymore
It’s an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes Love! It’s Love!</p>
<p>Sadly, I do not have my Partridge Family albums anymore. </p>
<p>Scout59…no dancing with a cover topped broomstick for us. We did have a running scenario game where we each pretended to be characters in the show. We were constantly pedaling our bikes back and forth to the nearby grocery store to get the latest issues of Tiger Beat. We devoured every word and cut out the pictures to stick up on our bedroom walls,lol.</p>
<p>I was not a huge Bobby Sherman fan. I was a David Cassidy devotee all the way.</p>
<p>Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see…</p>
<p>That suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.</p>
<p>^^TV show didn’t use the lyrics, I always wondered why…</p>
<p>Considerably more recent, but I do like this:</p>
<p>Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…</p>
<p>I loved Tiger Beat. I had a huge crush on Sajid Khan - from the television show Maya. Most people have no recollection of it. Can’t remember a theme song for that though.</p>
<p>Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh baby, come on, let me take you where the action is
It’s so neat to meet your baby where the action is</p>
<p>Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.</p>
<p>The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure,
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour…a three hour tour. (kacrrrr…kacrrr…lightning sounds I can’t spell them…)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The ship’s aground on the shore of this
Uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan, the Skipper too,
The Millionaire and his wife,
A movie star, and… the Professor and Mary Ann,
(Here on Gilligan’s Isle!</p>
<p>So this is the tale of our castways,
They’re here for a long, long time
They’ll have to make the best of things,
It’s an uphill climb.</p>
<p>The first mate and ( his ) the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In their tropic island nest.</p>
<p>No phones! No lights! No motor cars!
Not a single luxury!
Like Robinson Crusoe, it’s as primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends,
You’re sure to get a smile,
For seven stranded castaways,
here… on “Gilligan’s Isle.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wonder whether the censors were sensitive to the mention of suicide in the MASH song lyrics. That might not have been considered suitable for prime time TV, even though it was considered suitable for a theatrical film.</p>
<p>Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!</p>
<p>Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
He was brave, he was fearless
And as tough as a mighty oak tree!</p>
<p>From the coonskin cap on the top of ol’ Dan
To the heel of his rawhide shoe;
The rippin’est, roarin’est, fightin’est man
The frontier ever knew!</p>
<p>Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. </p>
<p>Wouldn’t you like to get away? </p>
<p>Sometimes you want to go </p>
<p>Where everybody knows your name,
and they’re always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name. </p>
<p>You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OMG. I had a huge crush on him, too. I didn’t know anyone else who even knew who he was at the time… nor since!</p>
<p>Meet Cathy, who’s lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
But Patty’s only seen the sight.
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights –
What a crazy pair! </p>
<p>But they’re cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day. </p>
<p>Where Cathy adores a minuet,
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
A hot dog makes her lose control –
What a wild duet! </p>
<p>Still, they’re cousins,
Identical cousins and you’ll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike – </p>
<p>You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.</p>
<p>I didn’t move to the US until 1975 in 6th grade, so I know parts of some of these songs in Spanish. The Addams Family was called “Una Familia Muy Normal.” Same tune was used with the Spanish lyrics:</p>
<p>Si quieren divertirse
Y al cabo no les cuesta
Aqui en la casa de esta
Familia muy normal</p>
<p>In 6th grade I was addicted to all the after school fare: Adam 12, My Three Sons, That Girl, Love American Style, Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island…I guess those shows taught me English!</p>
<p>Meet George Jetson.
His Boy Elroy.
Daughter Judy.
Jane his wife.</p>
<p>Oh the memories…</p>
<p>Felix the Cat
He’s amazing, he’s remarkable,
He is fearless, unbelievable,
He is superduper and extraordinary.
He’s the kind of guy that keeps you feeling merry! Who?</p>
<p>Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat!
Whenever he gets in a fix,
He reaches into his bag of tricks
Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat!
You’ll laugh so much your sides will ache,
Your heart will go pit-a-pat,
Watching Felix the wonderful cat!</p>
<p>Yogi Bear
Yogi bear is smarter than the average bear.
Yogi bear is always in the ranger’s hair.
At a picnic table you will find him there,
stuffing down more goodies than the average bear.
He will sleep till noon.
But before its dark,
he will have every picnic basket in Jellystone Park.
Yogi has it better than a millionaire.
That’s because he is smarter than the average bear!</p>
<p>Mighty Mouse
Mr. Trouble never hangs around,
when he hears this Mighty sound,</p>
<p>Here I come to save the day!
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!</p>
<p>Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,
Mighty Mouse will join the fight!</p>
<p>On the sea or on the land,
He’s got the situation well in hand!</p>
<p>Geez Bassdad, no need for those lyrics to be tagged and spread into eternity.</p>
<p>I dont even need to post all the lyrics- cause I bet they are familiar</p>
<p>*Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship. *</p>
<p>they’re creepy and they’re kooky,
mysterious and spooky,
they’re altogether ooky…</p>
<p>* hey,hey we’re the monkees*</p>
<p>oops that one was wrong</p>
<p>George, george , george of the jungle…
