The Statler Brothers - Do You Remember These

[DEMOLEDOR1451]

o yeah mi love the music statlr brothers remenber

[Maxevilkiller777]

what did they record this with...a poptart?

[MrFrontrowkid]

The first line of the song goes "Saturday morning serials, Chapters 1-15" They are referring to the cliffhanger movie serials that were shown at the neighborhood theaters on Saturday afternoons. The serial chapter ran about 12-15 and wrapped up the matinee program of a double feature (western and comedy) cartoon or shorts like the Three Stooges and a newsreel. The serials were never shown in the mornings, except at special showings prior to the main feature.

OldMusic, I think the "Frog in your arm" they are referring to is when you hit the largest muscle in your (or you buddy's ) forearm with one knuckle it makes a knot come up for a minute or so. That is what we use to call that. "Giving you a frog"!

[John1948TwelveA]

@MMorgan834 Maybe so. Some of the rememebered things were pretty obscure.

[oldermusiclover]

frog in your arm and peg in your pants and moon hubcaps? think i got it right. those i never heard of.

[John1948TwelveA]

@oldermusiclover Pegging your pants means rolling up the legs - generally it was just blue jeans that were pegged. Moon hub caps were either baby moons or full moons. I don't know how to describe them but here's a link to some pics - google[DOT]com/search?q=moon+h­ub+caps&hl=en&rlz=1T4GGHP_enUS­439US439&prmd=imvns&source=lnm­s&tbm=isch&ei=gRojT9OzItCRgQfl­w5ToCA&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mo­de&cd=2&ved=0CE0Q_AUoAQ&biw=13­93&bih=683

Just replace [DOT] with a period.

[John1948TwelveA]

@oldermusiclover In the summer the standard dress was a white T-shirt. With a pocketless shirt, only way to carry your smokes was to roll a pack of cigarettes in the sleeve. They'd get crushed if you put them in your Levi's pocket. So it would look somewhat like you had a frog in your arm.

@oldermusiclover it depends on your age freind ,silly yes but its 50 yrs. peace my fellow human

[oldermusiclover]

would like fort someone who is over 60 to post me and e mail so you can explaine some of this stuff

[mssandy90]

The Statlers were in a class all their own. No one will ever come close to their talent in singing and writing. I am so thankful there is YT, because I miss their music. We were very lucky and saw them so many times I can't count. We enjoyed every show and could take our kids along and know they would put on a clean and very funny show. Thanks for the post.

[rosemarie443]

yes i do remember all of those, i even remember before the Statler Brothers began, we have had fun haven't we

[John1948TwelveA]

@rosemarie443 I loved the 50s and 60s. If I could live it all over again I would pick the same time period, place and pretty much everything.

[mrwarmth100]

oh god i remember all of these,hell im pre mc donalds ty lord its been a hoot

[SHERLOCKSNOOPY]

The music, the lyrics, the voices . . . gives me goose bumps! I love this music!

[TheFiredog9539]

A real group, never get tired even though my wife likes the new music, guess I'm just old school

If this originally aired in 1982, then this must have been one of Lew's last concerts with the guys. RIP, Lew.

The sound is very bad but still a great video
