Kaptain Kool and the Kongs theme song

[MsLogjam]

Choreography was not a strong point of the 70s; still, they sounded nice.

[3cheaptrick]

Micheal Lembeck was also in Mary Hartman soap in the fall of 1976 as Kathy;s boyfriend while this show was on

[JuanDeSoCal]

Question: is this so UNcool that it becomes cool ironically?

[1tjhiphop]

Super Chick aka Debra Clinger is my mom! Wish there were more videos to see! I love seeing these

[14DaveHunter]

@1tjhiphop Glad to hear you post this about your mother. She's one of my facebook pals, along with Mickey McNeil and Louise DuArt. Your mom's character played a positive part in my childhood. Glad to see your proud of her.

[Apokalypez]

Anybody remember the name of that big creepy puppet they had on this show?

[spudd777]

Thanks for the retro. I remember singing that when I was 10 or so.

[teeveebuff]

I haven`t heard that theme in over thirty years when I was a kid but it all came back to me as I sang to it...HOW did my memory remember MOST of the words...weird but wonderful..thanks for posting it!!

[ElderOfMars]

Maybe this where they got K. Rool from.

[jimbailey69]

I'd forgotten about this show. I didn't watch it often, but had this jigsaw puzzle of the group.

[maximobarbierii]

REALLY CLASSIC.

[whitewitchoz]

This song is catchy. I was rocking out.

[rubinoos1]

This song is awesome!

[ihatethinkingofaname]

FANTASTIC!!!!

Wow I was hooked on these guys. I never missed a show and had the biggest crush on "Superchick".

I'd love to have the first season of that show on dvd.

[StreetKnight1]

@ihatethinkingofaname I also loved this group, and I also had a huge crush on "Super Chick," aka Debbie Clinger. (Still do, in fact. lol) It's crazy that so many lame shows are available on DVD now, but not a classic like this!!

[ma6743]

HA HA HA !!! This show really takes me back.... Thanks for bringing back great memories!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

this is what I kinda remember, but not like this-the song was different

[MoonbaseAlphaFan]

I still remember this song from my childhood and never thought I'd ever hear it again ... until now. Thanks for restoring a small part of my childhood.

[whitewitchoz]

Great song , I wish it was in better quality.

[kd4adv]

OMG!

one can get shot wearing them threads these days. LOL

I remember the Kroft Super show used to come on every Friday night.

WAY before Satellite and Cable, we only had a few channels :

CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS and the game channel for the Pong and then for the Atari 2600.

[rocker2048]

I have them on tape when they were on the Bay City Rollers Saturday morning show.I love the drummer.

[22112123]

i acually know the drummer personally, hel lives here in east tennessee

[brw9284]

whats he doin these days???

[22112123]

he's running some kind of ranch were underprivalaged kids can do work while having fun, he's a very kindhearted guy.

[RTL777]

It's Mickey McMeel isn't it? He was Three Dog Night for a while!

[22112123]

yep shure is, i owe him alot, hes doe alot for me.

[CreatureFeatures75]

Wow, does this ever take me back! I had such a crush on Superchick, lol

[StreetKnight1]

Debbie Clinger RULES!

[marksum1]

That was Debbie Clinger ! OMG

[DRUMTOY2002]

Debra Clinger was and in my mind always will be ULTRA HAWT!!! Man, I use to have a HUGE crush on her and then I met her back in the late 70's - early 80's while she was filming a movie and I found out she was more beautiful on the inside.

[EddySwass]

This is actually what inspired me to become a heavy metal guitarist and then of course i heard Kiss alive. What a strange flash.

[Attila709]

It sucks getting older but it was great to be a kid in the 70s. Great memories!

[lepoetress]

This is another show I thought I was the ONLY person in the world to have seen. Man, this brings back memories. Saturdays just aren't the same.

[MadameLil]

I heard on IMDB she's a stay-at-home mom. Still good lookin', too.

[heezdedgym]

To think these people probably have grandchildren now...just like the Solid Gold Dancers.

[BeauWorld]

Kaptain Kool is Michael Lembeck, who is one of TV's top directors nowadays. The original idea for Kaptain Kool was a Saturday morning ripoff of Vinnie Barbarino and The Fonz.

[wattever333]

ooooooh he was soooo hot! didn't he have a motorcycle?

[IsaAbdulmali]

ana aita... inna... i am remembering this show was one of my favorites... and let us not forget Charles Nelson Riley ... "Uncle Crock" man, those where good times...

[licklolly35]

i loved the krofft supershow i remember when, the bay city rollers hoste d it.

[qqrk1372]

If I could get my ass up in the morning and go to work with HALF the enthusiasm I had to wake up on Saturday mornings and watch this stuff I'd be running Microsoft by now. LOL

[dback1221]

They started out vaguely Glam, then wound up all clean-scrubbed and Disney-ized by the end of their run. (I remember some ghastly Saturday Morning cartoon preview show with Darth Vader and these guys.) God, the 70's! I'm hard pressed to think of another more completely whacked decade pop-culturewise.

[Kevin90028]

Move over, Beatles. I have a new favorite rock group.

[godanp]

This, captain marvel, isis, dr shrinker, electra woman and dyna girl, and superfriends(pre wonder twins) is what saturdays were about. everything was more fun . Now it's gay japanese crap.

[willoweeps]

Remembering the days running in the house to watch this program. Never really did got over the day they didn't air this show.

Thanks for posting. I miss this show.

[todddeal]

How did the Television Board let K K K slip thru? K ap K ool K ongs?

[HypnoToad72]

todddeal - LOL! Scary and sad, but LOL!

[Kohntarkosz]

I used to have a Kaptain Kool And The Kongs puzzle that my brother mounted on a piece of cardboard for me.

I recall they had some silly comedy skits.

[Toner2515]

Kaptain Kool and Kongs getting it on !!!

[mmbmrock]

Saterday morning,a bowl of Cheerios and Kaptain Kool and the Kongs."Man do I miss my childhood"

[Stephcsz]

I second that!  the Kroft Supershow was my Saturday morning.

[WildmanWoodie]

Superchick brings a lot to the table.

[mmbmrock]

dallas aint got a bad little bod either

[MadameLil]

LOL you mean "Nashville". She certainly was cute, too.

[firestorm63a]

After the Krofft Supershow ended, I remember when Micheal Lembeck first starred on "ONE DAY AT A TIME" as Julie's new husband "Max". I looked at him and said:

"Oh my God! It's Kaptain Kool!" LOL!

[catian5]

OMG! That was him? I didn't recognize him! Of course I was pretty young at the time.

[squeapler]

Haha, I remember that too! I know I saw Michael Lembeck on at least one other show back then and I was all like "Oh hai Kaptain Kool!"

Also funny was seeing Deirdre Hunt (Electra Woman) on the soap opera where she had a regular part.

[boats752]

hard to believe Kaptain Kool went on to be a director the rest pretty much wound up being nothing

[catian5]

I wouldn't sat that. Nashville aka Louise Du"art is a well known impressionist. Don't know what happened to the other though. Didn't know the captain was a director.

[14DaveHunter]

@catian5 Mickey McNeil (Turkey) now runs a children/youth program, called "Inner City Slickers". Also, he was the drummer for "Three Dog Night". He was recently on "Dr. Laura's" tv show talking about his program. He's on facebook (under Michael McNeel), along with Louise DuArt and Debra Clinger. Look them up and send them a friend request. I'm facebook pals with all three.

[poelover37]

The debate on 70s nostalgia vs today's kids shows makes me think of the quote, "Give me them when they're young and they're mine forever. NA HA HA HA HA!" Some bad guy said that once. How true.

[bunnyman2000]

Didn't they record this in an indoor amusement park in Atlanta? I seem to remember something like that on the show.

[greg6363]

You are correct. That indoor amusement park was known as "The World of Sid and Marty Krofft." Unfortunately, the park closed after only 8 months of operation. Shortly after the closing, Ted Turner bought the structure (for pennies on the dollar) and converted it into the headquarters of a news operation known as CNN. And the rest is history.

[jasunami]

Wow! I thought I was the only one who remembered this amusement park. I live in Atlanta and know a couple of older artists who helped set that place up and paint backdrops and so on. I was only around 8 years old when the Syd and Marty Krofft amusement park was open.

[matchgame35]

i didn't remember either till i saw these videos,then all of a sudden i remembered them what helped me was there 1st season costumes.

[matchgame35]

i remember leading up to this series premeire of this show ABC WOULD play this during the closing credits of every saturday morning show,even during the close of AMERICAN BANDSTAND

[RX552VBK]

I agree with you all. What wonderful memories of the 70's. As i write this I'm smiling ear to ear and remembering all of it, from ArkII to Land of the Lost. Thanks, Catian5.

[DoinaSambaFan]

MAN, HOW THOSE WERE THE DAYS. How I still long for this, Brady Kids, and Banana Splits to make it to DVD. I already have Jason of Star Command, Space Academy, Land of the Lost, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, and VHS tapes of Wonderbug and ElectraWoman.

FORGET THE CRAP ON NICKELODEON AND DISNEY CHANNEL. THIS IS WAY COOLER AND WAY MORE ORIGINAL.

[catian5]

I agree. I don't have any of those yet on DVD, but have a few VHS of Space Academy. I loved Captain Kool and the kongs. Ahh sweet memories. Glad you liked it. :)

[DoinaSambaFan]

@catian5 What can I say? They ROCK, (and still ROCK all the way, if you don't count the Banana Splits, LOL)!!! Yee-HAH!!!! Woo-hoo!

[aar41093]

You would think Boomerang would air this now. Thanx Catian5 for putting this out here. The sound is still in me after all these years. I just sitting here shaking my head, and feeling that warm fuzz inside. Kidz nowaday don't have the pure quality of childhood art in shows that we had. This is wonderful!

[catian5]

Ahh yes! Nostalgia. I actually just bought the secrets of Isis DVD set. Now if we can only get one for the Krofft supershow. Well you are more than welcome! it was my pleasure.:)

[crashsite000]

I can't believe I remember a lot of these lyrics...

[rtayl]

Thanks for posting this! I remember this so well.. how fast 31 years fly by!!

[ottoskidoo]

even as a kid i thought this show was ridiculous..but i loved watching!

[dowdymia]

It was a cool show. My favorite Kong was SuperChick

[matchgame35]

she was my favorite as well

[Jeff9964]

Who Didn't Like Kaptain Kool and the Kongs!! They Rock my preteen years!!  I was in love with Dyna-Girl, (Electrawoman was ok, but Dyna-Girl Was Dyna-MITE)

[icbr]

God to think I remember this note for note after 30 years. Scary!

[Maskedmutant]

Of all of the Kaptain Kool & The Kongs tunes, their title song (this one) was always my favorite! They'd run it during all their commercials! Thanks for finding it!

[catian5]

You are so welcome! it was my pleasure to share with others fans!

[catian5]

As was I! I couldn't believe it when I found it! I loved all the krofft shows. I just had to share it with all of you! I too would love for all of them to be on DVD! Kaptain Kool and the kongs had a great sound!
