I grew up listening to the radio and one of the programs I used to love was "Big John and Sparky". This was their theme song, so it brings back a lot of fond memories at a time in my life when the future was bright and full of hope.
I listened to Big Jon and Sparkie when I was 11 yrs. old, 60 yrs. ago. Had moved fm. Phila. suburbs, where there was local TV to watch, to city of S. Daytona, FL, where there was none. (Ch. 4 in Jax., xmtd. fm a 300' tower with 10,000 watts, 80 air mi. away. Prob. had a 40-mi. range. E-skip'd bring it to us on our GimbelBros./Olympic, 12", black-tube TV at Syd's Bar. Mom saw crowd outside bar; thought there was a fight. It was. On TV seen thru pix window. Beer & $ passed overheads in & out!)
I'm amazed to find that in over three years no one here had mentioned the American radio program Big Jon and Sparkie (spellings I just learned), on the air Saturday mornings from 1950 to 1958 and surely one of the highlights of my week for a while. "Teddy Bears Picnic" was the show's theme song.
You, DisCox, are a measure of how far humanity has fallen from the Age of Reason. How many minds of ordinary-looking people I see walking around function this way? I'm reminded of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
(I want you to know that I just put a snake in your bed. It's invisible until you fall asleep.)
since this was what banjo and tooty's adventure was about so they remixed the song, that's why Gruntilda's Lair theme is so the same, well that's what I think
i remeber in kindergarden we had a teddy bear picnic and we practiced singing this, and then i broke my leg and couldnt go to school and i missed the picnic....i was soo sad!
For some reason I keep thinking of the open season song: Once there was a magical elf who lived in a rainbow tree/He lived downstairs from a flatulent dwarf who constantly had to pee One day the elf could take no more so he went to bang on the rude dwarf's door/ and what do you know, they suddenly both were marrrrried.
This ROCKS! I was just singing this but couldn't remember all the words. So I looked it up on trusty youtube and BAM! I now can enjoy it in it's original glory!
I think the government should bail out diddy and his new nigger fragrance. That way all niggers can smell nice and appease the great names of Barrack Obama, Martin Luther King, and Muhammad Ali. They can all gather and ride jet skis with their greasy nigger hands while wearing tuxedoes (MLK will have a bloody one, of course). Diddy will make a great bond, and by a great Bond, I mean a great monkey look-a-like at the zoo. Praise Allah
banjo kazooie brought me here ;)
