When It Hit Me (The Hurricane Song) - Kids from C.A.P.E.R.

[Multi80schick]

This show used to be one of my favorites. I confess I had the hots for John Lansing and had a huge Jones for the song. So good to see again after all these years. Thank you!

[sherlockjr24]

I was 13 when this came out. I had a thing for Steve Bonino. Wow, never thought I'd see it again. I love UTube! Thanks for posting!

[EMTKRush]

I now have a Smartphone so I can upload the album - only I can't find them after I upload them !!

[sassymess]

Oh..my..God! I can't believe I'm seeing this!! I was about 7 yrs. old when I watched this. I had a crush on the blond one. I think he sang the only other song I remember..something like "Baby come and play in my jungle". Anyone else remember? Thank you for posting this.

[Dolphindream15]

I remember this and this show,,,I used to watch it all the time there is a web sight you can go to to buy the kids from caper cd its the songs they did on the show,,the web sight has alot of 1970s stuff,,,kids from caper only had one album,,and they only had 11 shows,,but they were still good

[BruiserKnux]

When this guy sings, he gets the same look in his eyes that my cat gets when she's using her litter box.

[fab2263]

@BruiserKnux - LOL!

[TheFood1011]

@BruiserKnux you're a freak.



[kfag101]

great stoner show!

[Underdog77]

I loved this short-lived show, and I particularly loved this song.

I had a crush on the girl long before Tom Hanks ever met her, ah, good times.

[SeanElGatoTelevision]

I have a Canadian pressing of the 45 of this song on Columbia (w/Kirshner logo on left side under the artist credit) bought from GEMM last year. I might upgrade the audio on this clip with that sometime.

[EMTKRush]

Still have the album - no player :( I see now they have record players you can upload to your computer ( or is download??) ! I will get one for Christmas and see about posting the rest of the album! I'ld appreciate any help on how to do this tho.....

[fnbit]

I remember this show well! Had the album, too. Wonder what happened to the cast of the show???? Crazy 70s!!!!

[madtatter7]

Oh my goodness...I even remember the words of the song. How come a cant remember where I left my keys?

[mermandrea]

When you find yours.... can you help me with mine! LOL

[possuman]

and doc gets the girl. doc always gets the girl. at least that was one of the running gags.

[PiratesFan63]

i used to love this show , and John Lansing was my favourite too !! thanxs for putting this vid on here!!!

[genied63]

oh yeah - and I had the album!

[genied63]

OMG I loved the kids from CAPER - totally in love with John Lansing!!! Cannot believe this is out here!!

[gungagin]

This is so funny! I used to LOVE John Lansing and this cheesy show!

Is the girl Rita Wilson (Tom Hank's wife)?

[crispyinmilk]

Yes, that's Mrs. Tom Hank's wife at age 20. Groove on, Rita!

[mermandrea]

Wow she looks exactly the same! Good for you Rita!!!!!

[choro1981]

Hey I love this song,my older sister has the album she said it was a fun show. Thanks for posting this video. Peace

[MadameLil]

Good song ... but that can't really be JL's voice.

[sherlockjr24]

I loved this show. My favorite was Steve Bonino. God bless Youtube. Who'd have ever thought I'd see this dumb thing again. I didn't know about Biff Warren. I remember when he was on some soap opera I watched. That's really sad.

I also love the Monkees. Go figure.

[SQDLVR]

I loved this show and the album. I was in

7th grade and my elder brother was in 9th and we had the same lunch period and him and his friends laughed at me when my brother told them I bought this lp instead of KC and The Sunshine Band Part 3...plus I wore Bay City Rollers clothes...LOL.. The should put this out on DVD...I'd love to hear Ridin' A Rainbow and Say It once more...

[karmatoga]

"Civilian Authority for the Protection of everybody Regardless"

[MaggieInNY]

I loved this show. Tragicaly Bif Warren passed away in the early 80's. I always loved that crazy crooked grin.

[fab2263]

@MaggieInNY -He was my favorite-Biff Warren RIP

[54spiritedwill54]

I've got the soundtrack album and this clip has an extra verse to this song not on the album.

[talos41]

ok... I admit that I crush on this guy... and I have the album still... There are actually a couple of songs on the album that are pretty good...

[RealflyGal]

I joined You Tube just because of this CAPER area. Too cool that there are other fans of this short lived show around. I think I watched The Hurricane Song clip a dozen times just to stare into John Lansing eyes.... sigh.

[myawesome99]

Sure would be nice to find this on DVD!!!

[DoctressJulia]

What. The. Fuck.

[MonkeesLuv62]

I have to admit I was 14 or 15 when the show was on and I loved it. Ok it wasn't exactly the Monkees, but what the heck. It had four fairly cute guys and music romps. But The Monkees played their own instruments,most of the time, The Kids From C.A.P.E.R didn't. But what the heck. I had a thing for John Lansing (Doc).

[grassyknollblues]

I'm so glad that I survived this onslaught of bad children's television.

[sullytrust]

its so god awful that's it's actually good.

[smicali]

OMG, thank you so much for posting this. I was 10 years old when this show was on the air in 1976 and loved it! I didn't know that anything survived. This clip was a great stroll down memory lane. Still makes me laugh and smile! Thanks again!

[philomom]

That chick he is with is Rita Wilson ! Tom hanks woman lol . My sister loved this show , she is gonna love these clips !!

[matchgame35]

was this group ever on AMERICAN BANDSTAND?

[toadoh]

[1faz]

CAPER Fans....See 'PT' - Steve Bonino Live with his band "The Trip"! meetthetrip (dot com)

PT Lives!

[equinegamer]

This is great stuff!! I love the Kids from C.A.P.E.R.!! Bugs was my favorite, but they are were very special to me! Where did you find these? We need to track down the person that has these clips because I'm sure caperfanatic got them from somewhere else. It's video for crying out load!! There has to be more somewhere!!

[patbishow]

Hey, I really love this post! Thanks! I went on ebay and bought the album. I converted the songs to mp3 files. If anyone wants one just email me and I'll send it along!

Thanks for the memories!

[myawesome99]

I'll take one if you dont mind! I LOVED this show. I'll send you my addy when you see my post.

[amusementfilms]

mp3-Kids From CAPER

Remember these are from the record. The theme wasn't on the recorded.

I need an email address to send the files.

Thanks! And thanks again for posting this clip!!

[starzyra]

Wow, thanks for posting this. I loved them. It does bring back memories. I have the album, but would you believe it was warped by a flood in my basement about two years ago. I still couldn't throw it out though. Please, if you find a copy of an episode post it.

[LaurethJezebelle]

OMG! WHERE did you find this? You just made a really awful day so much better. I'm totally regressing to my childhood now. I was the biggest John Lansing fan girl! He's now selling real estate in CA and did do a ton of work on Walker, Texas Ranger. Steve Bonino still sings with a band out there. Biff passed away, sadly, and I had no idea what happened to Cosie. I'd *die* for the songs on mp3 just about now and *any* other video clips. caperfan, you *ROCK*!

[shadoehare]

I had not seen the Kids from CAPER since I was about 6 years old. I used to love this show and always wanted to see it again. THANK YOU!!

[bigbulldogwillie]

Never took off like The Monkees did, but was a funny show. I loved it, even though it only ran for one season. Silly Saturday morning fare but funny none the less. I even bought the LP. :-)

[mrpanther214]

no, it was definately the big baloney, that was their van. banana was what caused Bugs to go nuts and get string. I even remember when someone said cabana and he started to react and then stopped.

[lumberdung]

it was big banana, not baloney

[nnaw]

Yes, that is a pre-Mrs. Tom Hanks Rita Wilson guest starring as Doc's love interest "Rosemary".

[geppettowoman]

Thanks for taking me back to when the Big Baloney was blue!

[intopecs]

I've got the soundtrack album and this clip has an extra verse to this song not on the album. Oh for a cd realease-or dvd! Loved the show and still love the album!!

[savagechuck]

Thanks so much for that!

I loved that show!

I would kill for some good mp3's of that group!

[kylechicago]

I swear that the girl in the video is actress Rita Wilson aka Mrs.Tom Hanks!

[Elkaye]

Whoa!! Thank you for posting these clips! What memories! I'm amazed this show has remained so elusive over the years, this is awesome!!! :)

[netekay]

OMG...I am 11 years old again, sitting in my living room on Saturday morning. Thanks for the memories!!!!

[drbarrys]

Wow, I can't believe this is here! THANKS!

[nnaw]

Great to see this again- too bad this was The Kids From C.A.P.E.R.'s only single- I still have the album!!

[lindalou112]

Fantastic! Kids From CAPER!...maybe not the best singers or TV show..but really a big part of my childhood. So good to see the clip. Where can i see some more?..maybe even have some clips to save on my comp???

[lee53050]

Wow this is GREAT!!! Never thought I'd see this again. Now if someone might have the two songs missing from the album, "Baby Blue" and "Under My Spell" Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!

[Frev4]

There's a Kids From C.A.P.E.R. Yahoo Group called 'thecaperroom' that has the two rare C.A.P.E.R. songs in their files. Here's the address: http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/gro­up/thecaperroom/?yguid=1085196­31

[frangelica]

Oh, for the days before I knew the definition of the word "Cheesy"!

Thank you for posting this, I love it! I'm not sure if there are any prints of this show left on the face of the earth...if anyone has access to them, please post!

[Hailey2006]

Lame Monkees knock-off from the late 70's, Don Kirshner did the music, though, so, there's a bright side. Ever seen the Goodies?
