Jet Screamer - Solar Swivel

[iwantoldschool]

I miss the Sixties. Man, if you weren't there, you have no IDEA what you were missing :)

[yocuzz100]

Being a drummer and a big fan of animation...I must say...cartoon music from the 60's was and still is to me "groovy...real boss...too hip...and all that 60's slang talk!!

Howard Morris, the voice of Jet Screamer, also played Ernest T Bass on the Andy Griffith Show. He was the guy who threw rocks when he was upset.

Is there a verse missing? I remember him singing:

"Come on, fly with me;

up high with me;

Come on fly with me"

[Jazzy9964]

@stevenscottoddballz That was "Eep Op Ork Ah Ah" not "Solar Swivel"

[stevenscottoddballz]

@Jazzy9964 Oh! I found it! Thank you VERY much!

[stevenscottoddballz]

Are there lyrics missing here? I remember him singing,

"Come On, Fly with me,

Up High with me,

come on, fly with me..."

[hebneh]

This bears more than a casual resemblance to "The Twizzle" from The Dick Van Dyke Show (which also can be found on YouTube.)

howard morris is great.

[blizzy63]

The voice of Jet Screamer was provided by TV funnyman Howard Morris who was age 42 in 1962.

[Jazzy9964]

Yes! Not only Jet Screamer, but Montague Jetson (George's Grandpa), Atom Ant, Wade Duck (From Garfield and Friends) and many more, I can't remember

[2008ljr]

@Jazzy9964 He also played Ernest T Bass on the Andy Griffith Show. The crazy guy who threw rocks at windows.

[Davidweiser]

And I thought it was Ray Stevens who did that all this time.

[blizzy63]

Here's an example of the older generation's notion of what rock 'n' roll sounded like. This episode of The Jetsons is from 1962 and it was produced by people obviously older than 25. Notice that the backing music is the older big band sound. The lyrics are loud, brash and full of nonesense phrases like "Yah-yah, baby-baby". The band takes the typical form that centers around the lone, male 'teen-idol' (likes an Elvis or Fabian, etc.). Interesting and fun.

[Jazzy9964]

You're absolutely right.. (in my opinion). 1962 Rock n Roll was in full bloom. And whoever wrote the music for this was obvious a Glenn Miller Fan. Even with the "Yeah Yeah's". I don't hear any guitars in this particular song...

[MVillani1985]

Very true, a lot of people say that rock and roll was dormant from 1959-1964, but there were a lot of great rock and roll hits during that time.

[MVillani1985]

@Jazzy9964 Here's something interesting I noticed, the music here sounds like mid-50s British rock and roll, which would see jazz bands trying to create American rock and roll.

[MVillani1985]

I'd say 35+. People who were 26 in 1962 were teens in the 50s and were 18 when Rock Around The Clock was a big hit.

[CaptainSiberia]

Not half as good as "Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah (Means I Love You.)"

[meowmix1012]

Man, I wish I had an anti-gravity floor! Cool! Keep Swivelin', baby!!

[bongomanfromdalou]

whatever became of that "anti-gravity floor?"

[Jazzy9964]

Elroy got to tinkering with it, and it became a Black Hole and suck all of the Jetson back to the Flintstones.

[etrax2000]

congress got a hold of it and now everything F***'s UP !!!

[FreeMerryJane]

"baby baby baby, ah ah ah"

[TangomanX2008]

the future isn't what it used to be..
