[28ashcat]

Is there a place where I can get this song...it's not on any of his albums (CD"S).

thanks,

[paktype]

I watched this show when it was in syndication on WPIX in NYC.

[trogwolf]

@wallofvideo yeah, it was sometime between 1976 and 1980.  He has an interesting biography. An avid international surfer and underground skateboarder - part of Jaks Team, apparently.

[LarryBooker3]

My mother sings this sometimes. This song has a little bit of swag to it.

[TheRoadrunner163]

[4615larkc]

[MissGussaroo]

Mistah Eddie's Foddah

[pete0969wi]

R.I.P. Mrs.L... You too Bill..Thanks for the memories..

[TheMackd08]

ah the 70s when tv shows were great and music actually meant something....

[trogwolf]

I remember that the actor who played Eddie had a cameo on one episode of Hulk

[wallofvideo]

@trogwolf that must have been before he replaced jello biafra as lead vocalist for the dead kennedys

[TheSillyPeach]

To Ozzy, my best friend eva !!!!!! :)

[chem100]

Truly the golden age of television. There is nothing like this today.

[demonhoopa]

"Mr Eddie's Father" :D

[ridgerunner721601]

@demonhoopa I always wondered why Mrs. Livingston didn't just call him Mr. Corbett. I know she was Japanese and didn't have a great handle on English yet, but Mr. Corbett would have been easier for her to say than Mr. Eddie's Father.

people let me tell you bout my ass being cornholed

[kerryincolumbus]

@cippy2k D'OH!

[cippy2k]

people let me tell you bout my best pedo dad

[DoctorVell]

Great show with a great cast.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Harry Nilsson had probably one of the greatest voices ever created by god. Guy could sing anything. John Lennon saw this show and immediately wanted to work with him. Such a shame he got into the booze though.

[ElCibaeno1966]

Oughis is it peop.... frainscaco psn y cdssxy psn...inturruatu,,,

[inkey2]

@ElCibaeno1966 LOL.....did you actually look at what you wrote? What does it mean?

[ElCibaeno1966]

@inkey2 OMG!!! LMAO.. I am just looking at this now.. I have NO idea what I wrote, but I can tell you it was about my pops, who's name was Francisco... I was DRUNK for sure.....lol

[MrRonnieG]

The television series, with Cruz and Bixby, (1969-1972) was actually based on a 1963 movie with the same title.

[MrRonnieG]

Would you believe that in May of next year (2012) Eddie (a.k.a. Brandon Cruz) will turn 50 years old!?!

[HLG3958]

my 20 y/o daughter was just singin this song and I asked her how did she kno about this - this was my era - this was once my favorite show - propz to whoever posted this

[StanBennet]

Is his best friend the guy he becomes every time someone pisses him off?

[Amoxx477]

Is there an entire song available? or it`s just a theme?

[kyleighrsmith1234]

This was in an episode of Two and a Half Men... Charlie thought he had a son... too bad Charlie Sheen went on Drugs, that show'll never see it's 9th season......

[KenoKatze]

barnaby jones! KAKOW and/or boosh

[RossGamel]

[alabamagirl49]

RIP Bill Bixby

[dynagravitomagnetic]

The very best episode was when Bill caught the brat flying a kite from the balcony of their high rise and he pulled him off the rail and BEAT HIS ASS FLAT HANDED LIKE A BONGO!

[monkeygirl000]

As I recall, the series ran from 1969 to 1971.

[partridgefam1970]

this was in an episode of That's 70's Show, "Eric's Buddy"

[jumpypuppy]

Harry Nilsson, the guy who did The Point. He was the Beatles best friend

[dawhitmy]

What happened to these guys??

[warnicar12]

I didn’t see anyone making the accreditation to the songs writer.

This was written for the show by Harry Nilsson who was a giant in American music but nearly forgotten in some circles.

To call this man the fifth Beatle would be correct in more ways then one.

[elc1960]

@warnicar12 Nilsson's original title for this was "Girlfriend". To adapt it to this show, he didn't have to change much of the lyrics; they're almost identical. He was indeed quite close to John Lennon and Ringo Starr (the "Lost Weekend" incident).  Someone else mentioned his hit "Without You" - Badfinger had the hit version of that song, while Harry's version was never a hit. The biggest hit he ever recorded was "Everybody's Talking" from "Midnight Cowboy", but Fred Neill wrote it, not him.

@elc1960 harry's without you went to no1 in all 'white' english speaking countries

[bhinderbinder]

One of my FAVORITE t-v theme songs!

[gertzadek]

[najami12]

Black women are sexier than Japanese women!

[califgirl11]

Cruz named his son Bixby after Bill.

[miguelbovine10]

[mierpaul]

Definately one of the best opening tv theme songs.

[NikLaSha100]

My mom used to sing this to me all the time 

[MrSpringtime22]

[stalag58]

My mom used to say i think that kids got a little jap in him..

[nameniam]

great song. I believe this was sung by Harry Neilsson, who had a number one song with "Without You".

[TheMstarr2003]

remember this one Debbie Starr-Gill?

[alexanuchid]

Thanks a million , I 've been looking 4 this sound track for 40 years!!!!!

[JohnMan59]

Freaked me out. Every once in a while, this song pops into my head. Now, as a father, it has a whole new meaning. Now all I need is a MAID! Fun....this and the

Bugaloos, HR Puffnstuff, The Banana Splits, wow.....I AM OLD!

[chisaoboy]

@JohnMan59 Hahah... I thought I was the only one who remember all the shows you mentioned. Go ahead and search for the Banana Splits theme tune... it'll not only give you that "creepy" feeling of long ago... but also stick with you for days!

[magicmike618]

[smitty195]

Wow, I remember this. "Mr Eddie's father"---LOL!!!

[Krazy3912]

[biggirltee]

[monkeygirl000]

Honestly, I woke up this morning and couldn't get this theme song out of my head for some reason. (I remember the show ran from 1969-1971, and then in syndication after that.) I looked it up online and here it is. Thanks for uploading it!

[steelerfanTX]

Absolutely loved this show. The 70's were awesome to grow up in! :)

[dangraphic]

@steelerfanTX

The absolute BEST years to group up in! I agree. :) They were FAR OUT.

[leananshae]

Written and sung by Harry Nilsson, my all-time favorite singer-songwriter!
