Great! Super Chicken was our teacher when I started high school in 1969, on account of his resemblence to the cartoon character. Thanks for this- I haven't seen the cartoon Chicken or heard the theme tune (although I could never forget it!) since then.
They ought to make a new SuperChicken cartoon for the theaters to show in prelude to the Superhero movies (Marvel, DC, whatever). It would be awesome and a tribute to the good ol' days. Hey! Where's MY SuperSauce? BeGAWWWK!
I sang this song to prove to a cop that I was not drunk. Honestly. I dont think I could have if I were sober!!! I would have gotten away with it if I hadnt said " I had to drive home officer...I was to drunk to walk!!!!"
Part of George of the Jungle cartoon show,along with Tom Slick,really funny humor,just slightly over most little kids heads Jay Ward also did Rocky and Bullwinkle,and Hoppity Hooper.
This was one cool show when I was a kid! I can still hear Super Chicken getting ready for another big adventure and spouting off: "To the Super Coupe Fred!"
bro8664, "Super Chicken" was produced by Jay Ward Productions("Rocky and Bullwinkle, "Dudley Do-Right"). It was a segment of "George of the Jungle", the original from 1967.
Ipostcartoons....Do you know who the producers/actors/makers of these shows were...I had a feeling it's not the usual Hanna/Barbera/warner/disney......they made some funny stuff but didn't seem to be around for long?
@whelljack . Hi. Not sure about the first actor (could be an 'in joke'), but the second and third are Douglas Fairbanks and Rudolph Valentino (both heroic silent film stars). The last is Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster. :)
The montage of movie stars seen at :08 and :23 include John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Rudolph Valentino and Boris Karloff as "Frankenstein" [Jay Ward produced a syndicated 1963-'64 series that satirized their silent movies, "FRACTURED FLICKERS"].
This theme (along with the "Tom Slick" and "George of the Jungle" themes) was written by Stan Worth & Sheldon Allman; they also wrote the "LET'S MAKE A DEAL" theme for Monty Hall, and cues for other series he produced {"SPLIT SECOND", "MASQUERADE PARTY", etc.}.
My brothers & sister used to make super sauce for me when I was about 6 or 7. They used pepper & worchestershire sauce & flour & ketchup & mustard & allspice etc. etc. etc. & I would always drink it.
Ah no... there used to be a cartoon show in Italy named Alan Ford. One of the villains in that show was a guy who got his superpowers by guzzling liquor.
@Oldbob.....I'll say today's toons aren't as great but you can't say today's toons don't have satire, Violence or social commentary with the likes of The Simpsons, Boondocks, South Park or family guy airing. It just seems these shows lack the spontaneity the old ones did. BTW you guys remember a show where this group of guys dressed as birds? One guy was a cuckoo, I forget the others but it wasnt G-Force, it was an American toon. It had a awesome opening intro song! Help me!
I always sing this!!! Hahahah! And, I always tell people I live by Superchicken logic : Well Fred, you knew the job was danerous when you took it! YAY!
And to think that today's generation of kids watch cartoons with no satire, no violence, no imaginative script. The characters care about each other's feelings, and they ask the audience questions, wait five seconds, and then say "I think so too!"
@brabon1 He absolutely did! Jay's shows had layers of satire and jokes so that kids could enjoy on their level, and adults can also enjoy the satire on their level. And those who watch the shows when they become adults can catch a lot of the jokes that went over their heads when they were kids.
Kids shows nowadays are mostly on the Disney channel, full of shows starring teenagers but written for 2nd graders. Either that, or they're like Barney, Teletubbies and the Wiggles - for toddlers and pre-schoolers. Today's children are indeed drab . . . and spoiled.
There was an episode of Super Chicken where Fred and he ,for some reason, had to go to the "Isle of Lucy". That had me laughing for days. What ever happened to cartoons with a sense of humor? And, how drab the children of today are without it.
@pepperquentin Remember, most comedy-cartoons of that day were loaded with satire and parodies of other shows and characters.
Today's show have no real characters, so there is nothing to parody and writing is little more than sarcasm, which is mockery itself. Mocking mockery is like adding flavor to your water by adding ice. It does little to nothing.
Oops! Someone just told me that that wasn't an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" he sang that song in - it was an NBC promo that aired during an episode of "The Office" and was meant as a plug for "The Bee Movie". My mistake.
And of course there was the episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" with Jerry Seinfeld guesting where he just busts out with this song during a business meeting (and gets all the words right, I might add).
When I was in the Navy at the Navel Technical Training Command near Memphis TN in 1967 Super Chicken was our mascot. The whole barracks would get up to watch Super Chicken and George of the Jungle on Saturday morning and then everyone would go back to their bunks. The TV room was packed to Standing Room Only. Donnie Brooks (Mission Bell) wrote the theme songs for both shows. I saw him perform them at an oldies show near Santa Rosa California in the 1980's.
Sounds like you guys never forgot that were kids at heart all the while you were Naval officers. What a great nod to childhood! It's even cooler knowing that you guys were all Officers, Gentlemen, AND Super Chicken fans! :-)
Actually, I think the lyric goes: "CAAWWW for Super Chicken". You know, for a pun. Jay Ward was real big on puns - the worse they were, the better. Can't knock this though. When I was a kid I never missed this cartoon. George and Tom Slick were great too. This cartoon was on the Cartoon Network back in the '80s for a while but they replaced it with more stupid Scooby-Doo reruns. In the '90s Cartoon Network was like the "Scooby-Doo Channel" for a while there.
My dad taught me this song when I was a little kid. I knew/know it by heart- used to sing it all the time. This brought back some great childhood memories. He didn't inform me until later that it was an old television show.
Of course it's a martini. Never underestimate the power of 6 parts gin, one part dry vermouth. Oh yes, and an olive or two..... Seriously, great stuff. Nothing like it on today. Also Tom Slick George of the Jungle, Bullwinkle, and of course, Hoppity Hooper. Nothing like it before or since. Thank God I've got the DVD's. Now, if I could only find a box of Quake cereal........ Any idea where I could find that?
@TB4000 Of course it's a martini. Never underestimate the power of 6 parts gin, one part dry vermouth. Oh yes, and an olive or two..... Seriously, great stuff. Nothing like it on today.

@TB4000 At one point, he refers to having salt around the rim of the glass, so there seems to be the implication that it could be a margarita. I tend to think that the margarita is more compatible with SC's character. What do you think? ;)
If I could give you more thumbs up you'd have them for speaking the plain truth as you have above. Cartoons WERE funny then!
Super Chicken was a classic!
I'd rather get back to basics with this
stuff than watch a certain yellow sponge who suffers from manic illness as he goes around with a pink starfish that yells "OOOO-HOOO!!!!" all the time (even though it's genuinely funny every now and then.)
This is great! Can someone help me remember a cartoon where the family would go out in their backyard and stand under something and it would shrink them and then they would go on adventures (No I'm not talking about the modern day incredible shrinking family and all of that). I used to watch it in the 70's. Thanks
No...not that. Their family would stand under something in their backyard and they would shrink themselves... then they would be the size of the ants and other things in their yard and go on these certain adventures.
I used to watch this on WPHL 17 in Philadelphia, thought I live in the Tri-State area and still do...we live high on a hill with no trees around (great reception) and had a rotary antenna that made it sweeter, as we got WPIX 11's Chiller Theatre and WNEW 5's Creature Features.
One of the simplest, and funniest theme songs ever made, and it shows that in many cases, keeping it simple is the best way to get a laugh. GREAT memories!

So basically the super sauce is a martini.

Of course it's a martini. Never underestimate the power of 6 parts gin, one part dry vermouth. Oh yes, and an olive or two..... Seriously, great stuff. Nothing like it on today. Also Tom Slick George of the Jungle, Bullwinkle, and of course, Hoppity Hooper. Nothing like it before or since. Thank God I've got the DVD's. Now, if I could only find a box of Quake cereal........ Any idea where I could find that?

@budgienation Contact Quaker Oats. They still sell Quake and Quisp but they're only available through internet sales and mail order.

So what other kind of "sauce" is there? XD

@TB4000 At one point, he refers to having salt around the rim of the glass, so there seems to be the implication that it could be a margarita. I tend to think that the margarita is more compatible with SC's character. What do you think? ;)

Oh the memories this brings back....back when cartoons were actually funny!!

If I could give you more thumbs up you'd have them for speaking the plain truth as you have above. Cartoons WERE funny then!
Super Chicken was a classic!
I'd rather get back to basics with this
stuff than watch a certain yellow sponge who suffers from manic illness as he goes around with a pink starfish that yells "OOOO-HOOO!!!!" all the time (even though it's genuinely funny every now and then.)

This is great! Can someone help me remember a cartoon where the family would go out in their backyard and stand under something and it would shrink them and then they would go on adventures (No I'm not talking about the modern day incredible shrinking family and all of that). I used to watch it in the 70's. Thanks

No...not that. Their family would stand under something in their backyard and they would shrink themselves... then they would be the size of the ants and other things in their yard and go on these certain adventures.
slappy09 2 years ago
I seem to remember something like that. Didn't they stand under something like a tree, and muli-colored rays came out as they shrank??
I remember Dr. Shrinker:
Doctor Shrinker
Doctor Shrinker
He's a mad man with an evil mind
Doctor Shrinker

I used to watch this on WPHL 17 in Philadelphia, thought I live in the Tri-State area and still do...we live high on a hill with no trees around (great reception) and had a rotary antenna that made it sweeter, as we got WPIX 11's Chiller Theatre and WNEW 5's Creature Features.
One of the simplest, and funniest theme songs ever made, and it shows that in many cases, keeping it simple is the best way to get a laugh. GREAT memories!

"thought I live in the Tri-State area and still do."
Sorry folks, that's "though I lived high on a hill and still do." Sorry for that little misspell, lol.
