@gigjohn...I feel your pain. I'm a 43 year old man and my mom is alive, but lives in a nursing home with a severe case of dementia. Almost all "retro" items on "You-Tube" from the '70's and early '80's make me cry (old songs, tv show themes/commercial jingles, movie soundtracks, etc.). I can't h...

@kyokogodai...I think you are describing a scene from "Food of the Gods" ('76). If memory serves, "Thriller Double Feature" on WXON 20 never aired this film. However, "Scream Theater" on WXYZ 7 did.

Regarding the "Jif" ad at 3:20, if memory serves, there were two versions. This is the second one. The original featured a woman that let out a shrill "horse laugh" when the guy approached her and said: We've been spying on you!"

What are the backup singers singing after 1:09 ? It always sounded like "in a shoe...wahoo!!!" to me.

@bubbaali021...It was about a working class guy from the east side of Detroit who married a woman from Bloomfield Hills. The "head writer" was Tom Ryan (a.k.a. "Count Scary"). He starred as the father of the bride and Sparky Anderson made a "cameo". Many Polish-Americans from the metro Detroit ...

@nimexica...Like many "hidden" messages in rock songs and the like, I think it's an example of "auditory pareidolia". In layman's terms, a sound (or group of sounds) that can be interpreted in more ways than one ! Many people claim that John Lennon did not say: "I Buried Paul". Some feel he s...

@tapeduk...I agree ! Luana passed away in '96, but Jack Nicholson remembered her in his Academy Award acceptance speech for "Best Actor" in "As Good as It Gets" ('97) in '98. Luana and Jack worked together as "gofers" at MGM in the early/mid 50's. This is where they first met Roger Corman. Wh...

MichaelHansenFUN...At 10:55 you can hear the narrator say: "It's a nice night for a Halloween party". At 11:05 you can hear a witch say: "Come back, I'm only sixteen !", although some people think she says: "Oh drat ! I wasn't done eating that!" At 12:54, the narrator says: "Don't rattle those ...

I grew up in MIchigan and Faygo pop is awesome !!! I know that "Moon Mist" is Faygo's equivalent to "Mountain Dew". "Sensation" = "Vernors". "Frosh" = "Fresca". "Dr. Faygo" = "Dr. Pepper". "60/40" = "Squirt". I no longer live in Michigan. I haven't sampled "Twist" yet. What does it taste l...

I spent my first 35 years of life in Michigan and moved away in 2004. I miss Coneys a lot. My wife is Canadian and I introduced her to Coneys. She likes them, but lacks the enthusiasm I have for them. She asked me if there are restaurants in Michigan that serve "just plain" Chilli Dogs, or do ...

@Retrocyclers...Thanks for the help !

@cha5...Hi ! Shortly after I posted my question, I discovered that the longer version of this classic was on You-Tube too. Thanks !

There is something creepy about the footage of the band playing their instruments. Were the scenes starting at 0:42 rotoscoped ?

@primogennaio. I hear you, my friend. Check out the "Foul Play" IMDB messageboard. Somebody started a thread about how sentimental so many people feel over this movie and its "main theme". I contributed a few posts myself. Long live the '70's !!!

@madmoop001...Thanks for the info! What was the title of the movie ?

@redcasualties...The title of that particular song is: "Soul'd on You". You can buy the "Watermelon Man" soundtrack on amazon.com.

My wife brought something to my attention. Bert says: "This is kind of kinky" at 0:19. Then in another version of this intro, he says: "This is kind of catchy". I wonder which version was made first ?

@lurch321...I sure do remember that commercial ! Unfortunately, it's not on You-Tube. I seem to recall that there was a website that had audio links of old commercials from the '70's. And that particular ad was on it. However, I can't find the site. Chances are, it is no longer online.

@MoQuake...I find your post intriguing. Have you found any additional info about the "unknown man figure" in the '80's "music video" you were describing ? Please keep me posted. Cheers !

Correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't there a live-action show within the "Banana Splits" hour entitled: "Tom Sawyer and Friends", or something to that effect ? I remember having a crush on the Becky Thatcher character.

@toolkien... By "house" you mean the exterior footage of the house and the neighborhood?

@funcollegegirlsusa...Very interesting. What did Mr. Gannon have to say?

@HaIfFast...Thanks for the info. I will start a search for Hirt's version of this song.

@DRUMMERMAN77 ...I agree. I think Ms. Angela is visible at 2:32. She is on the far left wearing an aqua blue sweater.

Can somebody please post the track from this movie entitled: "Home Lobby Source".

Many thanks!

Cheers!

Sincerely, Steve B.

@ebbowman...I agree! Whenever I hear the "Lorimar jingle", I feel like it's the '70's all over again, and I'm in elementary school. Life was so simple and fun back then!

@hoedownthrowdown24... Thanks. "Tears in Heaven" is a beautiful but sad song. Cheers.
