Tv Theme Flipper

[kg24724]

Mitt Romney's theme song.. LMAO

[WanderLink]

Flipper was a famous dolphin right?

[tirpitz19]

I watched this every sunday morning at 9 in Romania.We loved it.It was back in the 70's.

[MrTriac]

@tirpitz19 Da, ai dreptate amice. Ce vremuri...

[publicitypunk]

GREG MAY of Orlando, FL says: "As a kid, I was glued to the TV every Saturday night watching this show. I saw on the closing credits it was filmed at the Miami Seaquarium. I bugged my parents to take me there so I could meet Flipper, Bud & Sandy. Being frugal people, they thought it was more economical to take me to Marineland where I could see Flipper's 'cousins'. That began my lifelong fascination for Marineland as you can read on the website, florida backroads travel.com."

[pepjrp]

@publicitypunk I was just like you in the late 60's, a kid and loved this show. But I was worse off cause I lived in Missouri, so I was about 1400 miles from the show's location. I wasn't until 1980, that i made it there on my own, but it was so cool.

[ejashcraft3]

thumbs up if sock puppet's description of mitt romney brought you here! pep pep

[rboss0]

im naomi im fucking ugly. im a dolphin, and i cant talk english for 25 se.... 

[HardcoreCar19]

@rboss0 c

[hello594]

You all should watch the movie "The Cove". It's about dolphins and talks a lot about Flipper,

[ty3987]

@hello594 dude I had to watch that in class. It made me cry :(

[idoeverything135]

@hello594 Trust me, i was going to talk about that buts an error. 23,000 dolphins and 32,000 whales are killed every year by murcery.

[sniper3134]

Mitt Romney approves this message.

[sportstuber11]

Sad to know these dolphins were abused to an unimaginable extent. Bastards

[DekaRedXXV]

IT's JAMES!!!

[Metroidkalib]

ITS ME!

[revron77]

The trainer of flipper said that he felt that filpper killed himself.

He said that unlike humans... dophins have a choice in each breath. They have to think of each breath they take.

He said that flipper came over to him in the tank went into his arms.. took one breath and then just stopped.

After that his trainer now goes out to stop Sea World and the mass dolphin slaughters in Japan.

For The Oceans!!!!

[WilliamsBallMusic]

@revron77 who are you? Is this Captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd?

[revron77]

@WilliamsBallMusic

No....

[zosothedestroyer]

@revron77 let me guess, you eat fish right bud?

[MissJulieLondon]

Flipper seasons 1 and 2 are for sale on Amazon. Great quality!

Don't buy this from fxcloudmedia! Most of their DVD's won't play in your standalone DVD player. The picture quality is horrible. They recorded Flipper from television (the Animal Planet logo is on screen all the time) and they must have used a VHS recorder for this. Also there is no artwork.

I've tried to contact fxcloudmedia about this, but they are not responding.

[Diamond1984]

I use to love watching Flipper! What a great memory. Thanks for putting it.

[Pleven123]

The dolphins are really cute and intelligent animals. I can completely understand the feelings of all of you who love that serial. When I was young I had been visiting the dolphinarium in my native country and enjoying their shows. But after I watched “The Cove” and saw what the dolphin-trainer from “Flipper” serial Richard O’Barry says there I decided for myself that I never go to any show, where dolphins participate.

[dawvvawevwev]

watch the movie the cove it will make yo think twice before you go to seaworld

[griffinflyte23]

dolphins in captivity nowadays isnt as bad cuz this movie was filmed a long time ago they didnt know how to take care of dolphins as good as today

[CollinsPurpleShoes]

lol i heard simon sing this theme so i haddd to look it up

[14nakedmen]

I am Dave! Yognaught!!  Mmm delicious

[itxchas]

Now everyone remember this dolphin after we have seen the Cove.

[ecoguy30]

great now I got that stupid song stuck in my head ... thanks a lot

[ecoguy30]

great now I got that stupid song stuck in my head ... thanks a lot

[maikeru1]

It's a shame that Flipper committed suicide after this film...

[maikeru1]

How many people here know Flipper committed suicide?

[Niche79]

Went to the Miami Seaquarium and saw the original Flipper display where it was taped etc, pretty cool! Thats some good old school stuff!

[shmuli9]

They call him Flippo, Flippo, Flippo a homeless crazy; nothing he sees is reality...

[angel74767]

flikker hahahhahaha

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my piano rendition of Flipper! Also, check out my renditions of Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco Tides of Time on piano!

[indiakhetri]

I loved this series as a kid, but little did I know that the dolphin was terribly treated

[Pnutt5100]

Flipper rules he can read your mind!!!

[borichdaco]

awesome series

[mrtea180]

Flipper knows all and sees all

[etbella3]

If the United States Government had "flipped" in time to save the planet instead of its greed-is-good wallets, operation Humans may never have been aborted. Are you listening, cyberspace? Phone Home, ET. The universe unfolds as it should, and the destruction of Animal Planet is a lesson for all planets everywhere.

[yaklord]

@etbella3 The destruction of the Animal Planet???!!! That is my favorite TV channel!!!

[kidduminni1]

this used to come in india at 2003

[cathavenfostermom1]

the part of flipper was played by five different dolphins.

[derkommissar1917]

They called him Flipper, Flipper, tastier than whiting,

No one you see, was yummier than he,

And we know Flipper, fried in a pan full of batter,

Caught there under, under the sea!

[nanlisa]

I liked that sound that Flipper made. Oh it was so cute. And so's Flipper.

[Trund27]

@nanlisa Isn't that the best? I love that sound as well! And I love dolphins, too.

[Trund27]

@nanlisa Isn't that the best? I love that sound as well! And I love dolphins, too.

[fairhillnorrie]

flipper!! a boat has capsized just a mile from here. 6 men overboard.. go and rescue then while i make breakfast..

[the60sKid]

Many don't know that Brian Kelly who played Porter Ricks was the catalysis behind getting the film Blade Runner made as he bought the rights to the P.K. Dick book and joined up with a screenwriter and the rest is history. He is listed as executive producer on the film.

[greymattersblog]

@the60sKid - I remember the headline: "Ricks Picks P.K. Dick Flick"

[Trund27]

@greymattersblog Hilarious!

[Trund27]

@the60sKid Really? Right on. One of my fave movies and books. Thanks for the info

[MrMusicman488]

Flipper just said...Fuck ya'all1

[fromthesidelines]

This was from the first season (1964-'65), as Leon Benson was the series' producer at the time.

[whiteflag1000]

so cute - this flipper...

[blitziee]

Do you guys know that there were 9 flippers and they were all from Miami seaquarium? They all died of depression

[TheRealBoroNut]

@blitziee "Do you guys know that there were 9 flippers and they were all from Miami seaquarium? They all died of depression"

I'm not surprised. It's bad enough one dolphin stealing all your accolades, never mind eight. How nasty is that? It's not like they're ever going to make it on X Factor is it? It's Flipper or nothing if you're a fame hungry bottle-nosed cetacean I'm afraid.

[NewsLynne]

...They call him Skinner...

[StabbyFork]

yeah Flipper, sell out, has been, drug addicts... were still cool

[Lo94s10]

I remember this!!!

[nicolaidna]

Cos of this tv series the market for dolphins in has increased, they are not happy! Bad bad idea!

[BrianHamiltonTV]

@nicolaidna This series also raised awareness of the plight of dolphins amongst many humans who were ignorant of the dangers they face.

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my renditions of Flipper on piano and Lassie on strings!

[JoloSam]

Captivity is worst then get killed, dolphins suicide them selves because they're too much stressed... Flipper was played by 5 females, one of them, Cathy, voluntarily closed her blownhole because she was too much sad...

[simiislander]

@ JoloSam I bet Cathy was delicious, and made the people too much full.

[cttrick18]

@JoloSam please tell me english is not your first language

[DawgTycoon]

@JoloSam you learned that from the cove lol

[MrKjames1]

@JoloSam you are officially retarded and i dont know why im commenting on a flipper video ne way bye bye

[Tycosauce]

@MrKjames1 He's right though, watch The Cove, it explains everything

[DrPhilMusic]

@JoloSam engrish much?

[superradiobomb]

@JoloSam and now my childhood memories of this show seem pretty dark now

[kinggtupper]

@JoloSam where you go school fool?

[Sallyallie89]

@JoloSam That's so sad. I knew dolphins were smart, but I didn't realize they could get depressed to the point of knowing how to commit suicide. That's so sad. I fully agree, no dolphin or whale or anything should be forced to live in captivity. Or even worse is the massive slaughter that happens in Japan every so often. It makes me absolutely hate humanity.

[Junije1]

@JoloSam Oh come on, animals cant commit suicide dude, that's bullcrap.

[emaciation]

@Junije1 my dad watched an old dog swim in circles until it became too tired to swim and drowned itself. my uncle was a survivalist in the BC mountains and watched a fleet-footed mountain goat jump to it's death. it wouldn't surprise me if an animal as ridiculously intelligent as a dolphin could manage a similar feat. unfortunately suicide is never the intelligent choice.

[Junije1]

@emaciation You sir, are an ignorant idiot.

[emaciation]

@Junije1 for a moment i was blown away that you could be such a brain dead fuck face, but then i looked at your profile and it turns out all you can manage to be is some hurting little faggot who no one likes. you're the one who needs to be drowned, i wish i knew you IRL so i could drown you myself.

[Junije1]

@emaciation Wow you sure are good with words for a suicide scientist.

Have a nice day.

[emaciation]

@Junije1 you sure are a big pussy for a kid who needs to try to convince himself daily that he so bad. little bitch you're a joke.

[jrjr143]

ahhhh back when america was pure !! no illegal mexicans , few spicks ,and no illegals demanding free handouts !! america was great back then !!  NOT NOW !!!

[bjory311]

@jrjr143 Just wanted to say... you're an idiot. Have a nice day, you racist piece of shit ;)

[jrjr143]

@bjory311 you seem to have a problem with the truth !!! are you a illegal mooching piece of shit !! do you support illegals coming here and mooching off the system while a single AMERICAN mom has to pan handel ???!!!! cause this fucked up government wont help its own !!! so which are you - a illegal piece of shit or a american piece of shit that supports what illegals are getting away with !!! SCUMBAG !!!!!! GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE WILL YA !! DOUCHE !

[bjory311]

@jrjr143 lol... I should have known you'd be sitting at your computer, d!ck in hand, just waiting to respond with some more hateful nonsense. Anyone who uses the Flipper Theme YouTube video as a platform to spout off racist shit obviously has no life whatsoever. (I love how you assume you know everything about me too.) Anyway, it's obvious you're a 13 year old kid... talking about "back when." Haha... you lose. I just wanted to take this time today to send a heartfelt "fuck you" your way. Ass.

[TheRealBoroNut]

Oh, king of the ocean is he? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Waggling your tail and balancing a ball on your nose is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from the ability to echo locate a lamprey.

[1eaNavarre]

Okay the reply section isn't working.

What is this about dolphins living in igloos. . .I don't get it. They live in pods.???

[TheRealBoroNut]

@1eaNavarre

Well I've got a pair of pods, and although they're quite comfortable to wear I cant imagine how a dolphin could live in them. Are you sure you don't mean hermit crabs? If I was a dolphin I'd certainly pick an igloo.

[1eaNavarre]

@TheRealBoroNut

Okay. .no pun intended but I will take the bait.

For my information. . .

Where does it say a bunch of dolphins is called an igloo?

All references I find say a group of dolphins is a pod. . .so I still do not get this igloo thing. . .or is this a joke . . .?

[TheRealBoroNut]

@1eaNavarre Dolphins don't come in bunches silly. You're thinking of bananas. Think of it logically. If you were to visit an Eskimo in his igloo, what is most likely to be eating:-

A dolphin.

A banana.

[1eaNavarre]

@TheRealBoroNut

LOLZ!!

I do not normally think of things logically. I am certified. . .crazy. But I get it now. . .Ha Ha! You got me. Oh and I got the pods thing they are nice jeans aren't they. . . so if I were a dolphin I would not want to live in them either but maybe hermit crabs do. . .yeah. . .got that one too.

However on that note. . .if Eskimos eat dolphins along with seals. . .I would not want to live in an igloo as a dolphin.

Good Show!

As for the other entry. . .HOLY CATS!

[redbaron1001]

Watch a movie called the cove then you'll never enjoy flipper or any other dolphin movies or shows again.

[SamonMarquis]

If dolphins are so smart, then why do they live in igloos?

[1mrmoose]

Is it me, or does Luke Halpin look almost like Johnny Crawford of the Rifleman?

[ShadowsGathered]

@1mrmoose

Nah, not so much... I remember Johnny Crawford because I had quite the crush on him (yes, I was young)... maybe a bit of a resemblance but not much.

[ussvoyger]

As a boy of those times ..I realised my sexuality..when I fell in love with such a cutey ...and I don't mean Flipper !!!!!!

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my piano rendition of Flipper!

[marinhoc5]

É uma lembrança muito boa, na minha infância eu adoraria estar com esta família.

Os 2 irmãos tinham uma vida boa pra caramba, só brincavam com o Flipper e passeavam de barco o dia inteiro.

Marinho

[sky30394]

Thanks to BP...flipper is DEAD!

[Cellosmoon30]

Flipper is so gay.

[swiftjusticeee]

Is this the original tv show they made a movie OF?

[therealraybaby]

What up RBF'S! well as u all know i sat 54 days in HELL, in county jail. IT TOTALLY SUCKED! I'm still a bit in a daze but with the help of dat good ol' HOLY SPirit I mo be aight! All right guys, I'm getting ready 2 dj an awesome party. These songs and themes all kept me going while in that HELLISH jail cell!

[blokeinthekitchen]

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my rendition of flipper on piano!

[Martinntoxx]

Flipper is a spy!

[junior23697]

do not like this

[GreenGre3n]

i recommend everyone to watch the documentary/fillm "the cove", its by the man who trained the flipper dolphins, ric o'berry, hes now an activist exposing the truth about this industry,

flipper was not played by only one but 5 dolphins, the first original flipper, kathy, actually committed suicide, the dolphins breathing is a conscious action by will, and kathy was obviously unhappy, dont get fooled by the smiles of a dolphin, dont support sea world and similar, dolphins belong in the wild...

[blusum1]

@GreenGre3n ohhh yea i watched it...it was so sad how when he looked into her eyes she was depressed and then she took one last breath of air and died and then he stopped training dolphins...ahhh your ganna make me cry....too late *cries*

[benbagley]

i love flipper my first encounter with dophins was at marineland of st augustine in the 1960-70's my family lived on a boat at the marina there and i wound play with the injuried dophins in the back stage pools by the marina they were cared for by univ of fl crews before being released back into the wild . boy what fun memories for simple times..

[desertgayle]

Good for Flipper that there was no BP playing in his world

[Wellch]

Politicans today "FLIP" back and forth on the issues.

[addamms]

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,

No one you see is smarter than he.

And we know Flipper lived in a world full of wonder,

Lying there under, under the sea.

[Ecoo4life]

Omg this was my fav show when i was 4! My mom would take me to Blockbuster and we would rent flipper movies cuz i was so obsessed with dolphins (and i still am) and we would get gummy dolphins then i would go home and watch them all night. :D I had thousands of Flipper movies

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my rendition of Flipper on piano!

I just feel good inside to watch/listen to this blast from the past.

[benbagley]

i love flipper

i grew up in south florida during flipper show on tv i had boston whaler and spent my summers in the keys and crusing the waters of the icw of south florida i also had glasshopper/british seagull and slept on almost every sandbar and swam around with the wild dolphins and manatees that came around.ps boy those were the good all days for sure.

[greasyjoe90]

@benbagley You jammy bugger!! What a childhood!

[desertgayle]

@benbagley Lucky as one could be to have had such a childhood!

[Roxfernandotorreslfc]

I love Flipper

[hotpopcorncake]

flipper is hotter then baywatch

[edithdar]

wow, that is memories!!!

[Streetcar1743]

The rest of this song is at the end of one of the episodes. I think it's in C Major. If there is a petiton out to bring the old show back, I sure would sign it!

[Streetcar1743]

What season is this one?

[alfcab]

They call him Skinner, Skinner, faster than lightning,

No one you see, is stricter than he...

[gisellaknight555]

come on! dolphins gang rape people and other dolphins! they kill just for fun porpoises and other smaller sea creatures and many of them are homo! WTH use to love this show and then, I undestood the truth abput this creatures. I don't care if u vote down this comment! :) because is all trueee

[mayorrjd]

@gisellaknight555 you're obviously an idiot

[gisellaknight555]

@mayorrjd not idiot, because is all true! they are facts

[baldat]

@gisellaknight555 oh no no no........calling u an idiot is an insult to all other idiots out there............u r an ass without a hole!!!!

[gisellaknight555]

@baldat perfect :DDD

[ironpizza]

dolphins originally came from land, but we exiled them to the water.

[visor109]

Ever notice that "Bud" had the NYC accent, but the rest of them didn't?

[yaklord]

Good thing Flipper was not in Japan or they`d killed his ass and eaten him.

[SCE2AUX]

@yaklord

"彼らは彼を寿司、寿司と、電光より速く電話する。 あなたが見る誰も、好み彼よりよく "

"They call him Sushi, Sushi, faster than lightNIIIING. No one you

seeeee, tastes better than heeeee ..."

[yaklord]

@SCE2AUX Your "Japanese" is very strange. You much have used a translation website. They don't use dolphin to make sushi. They use it for sashimi. They also eat raw horse in Japan. It is called basashi if you want to look it up.

[etbella3]

@yaklord I think Adolph Hitler was a dolphin in his former life and that's why his name is "A dolphin". His middle name is "Ban the tuna nets". (They torture and kill dolphins, just like Hitler tortured and killed the Jews.) Kosher slaughter kills and tortures cows. Manatees are sea cows. Maybe Hitler came back as a gentle sea cow and that's why New Zealand banned kosher slaughter this year, 2010.

[yaklord]

@etbella3 I hope you are just writing stuff to be strange...

[etbella3]

@yaklord I write "stuff" to help the planets where life is just starting. If you watch the beginning of the movie Contact, you will know that cyberspace was invented not for morons like you, but for the inhabitants of planets where intelligent life still has a chance to survive. Humans are incapable of living in harmony with The Animal Planet named Earth; so humans are a mistake -- yourself one of the biggest. But the extraterrestrials need input from idiots like you to make their point.

[yaklord]

@etbella3 If you check the history books, the U.S. Navy invented the internet and the word "cyberspace" is just a stupid-ass buzz word to promote the internet back in the 80's and no one uses that anymore. Also, almost no one in the USA liked the movie "Contact" so you must not be from the USA. Plus, if you are going to use movies as a reference to insult me, then you should have used the 4th Star Trek movie about saving the whales so an alien ship can talk to them in the future, dummy.

[Manongjojo]

@yaklord I thought AL Gore invented the internet? LOL

[yaklord]

@Manongjojo Al Gore thought he did too.

[AeussersteKraft]

[slap1328]

you must have missed the series finale where Bud "accidentally" grinds Flippers head clean off while trying to park his boat after coming home from a clam bake. That son of a bitch, Bud. To hell with him is what I say!

[fairhillnorrie]

oh no Flippers Deaddddddddd !!

[powergirl901]

That only happened because he was too stoned in the late sixties. Oh well. Next Dolphin.

[beaman220]

Fuck I loved this show!

[gauxg]

ero ancora bambino avevo 8 anni, quando vedevo questo telefilm. che nostalgia..

[LoreneFaith]

I loved Flipper growing up. I have not heard this theme and seen the opening for so long. Thanks for posting this! :)

[liloboy911808]

omg I remember this! I use to love this show when I was a kid. Omg! Thank u so much for posting this. I have not seen this in years. I use to sing along to this every time It comes on lol

[LadySierraSays]

OMG !!!! it's Flipper , Wow !!!! , I love Flipper, I grew-up with this show , I used to be glued to ever episode , I used to dream about Flipper all the time , such a great treat , thankx !!!

[Osiris3657]

watched reruns as a little kid in the early 90's on Nickelodeon. Nice :)

[bearnurse1]

I used to watch reruns of this show after school everyday in the eary 1970s. I was 11 or 12 at the time.

[sallyjosie]

What's really cool is that TCM sometimes shows the old Flipper movies. I just watched one last week.

[LastTree]

Flipper was my childhood hero!! You go Flipper!

[Widsy320]

It's just a fish!.....lol

(just kidding!)...brought back memories!!

[AfroLady352]

I remember watching this show all the time! How reminiscent.

[Tonsilloliths]

Former Flipper trainer, Rick O'Berry, has made a new documentary urging people and theme parks to free dolphins.

Check out the documentary "The Cove"

[Temorablue]

come on flip

[bennjr]

They should get Zac Efron to play Mark Halpin's role in a newer version. They look enough alike.

[Juliaflo]

Excuse me, the actor's name is Luke Halpin.

[bennjr]

Excuse ME, I said that if there is anew version, Zac Efron should be cast. Don't you think they look-a-like?

[Juliaflo]

A bit, but could Zac Efron match Luke Halplin's charisma?

I wonder.
