Unable to post a link, but if you Google "Idiot Control Now Mental Floss" you can find out about the Band that Played California Lady, Yipe Stripes and other MST3K classic musical moments.

Are you related to Charlie McEvoy? He was a year ahead of me at Fitzgerald.

@WWERANDYORTONify Cheryl Holdridge was born in 1944, which would make her 68 years old today if she was still alive. However, she died of lung cancer on January 7, 2009. If she was 51 years old today, that would mean she was born in 1961, two years after the original Mickey Mouse Club went off t...

@jksonny A "corker" is a big surprise or a (happy) practical joke.

@tcjhguy Please let your dad know that I've *LOVED* this jingle since I was a kid circa 1973/74!!

@chumshot1 No, that trope has been around for ages. Even Lucy and Ethel did it on "I Love Lucy".

@Ryoku75 My husband bought me a Servo for Xmas '10 and a Crow for this Xmas as my surprise gifts. They're made with the same authentic parts as Joel's original models (some guy in Michigan makes and sells them).

Olga had had the same audience affect four years earlier, despite not being the best gymnast on the Soviet squad. In 1980 when Nadia...

Thanks SO much for posting this!! When I was a wee little kid, my Mom had "Mountain of Love" in her stack of 45s, and I loved both that song and this, the B-side. Haven't heard it in ages, what a great trip down Memory Lane.

@mohinderbauer Left to right it's Roy Clark, Grandpa Jones, Gordie Tapp and Archie Campbell.

I would give up my first born (if I had any children) for just one more Red Barn fried chicken dinner.

Back in 1975 I was in high school and there was a Burger Chef about one block away from school. For 30 cents you could get a regular hamburger and then heap lettuce, onions whatever on it at the works bar. Fifteen cents bought you a small soft drink and you had a nummy lunch tastier and cheaper t...

The Power of Advertising:I still remember riding in the car during an early 70s Summer family vacation in the middle of mid-Michigan nowhere....we three kids were amusing ourselves singing commercial jingles in the back seat, and we'd latched onto this Nesbitt's Orange song . In the midst of that...
