  • Does anyone remember the "Happiness Is"

    ckck tv slogan/commercial? or know where to find it???

  • @1briefly I don't have it, but you can find a short snippet of it here: /watch?v=8G8VJRiU1RI&feature=r­elated (paste that after youtube dot com in your address bar.)

  • Carol Gay wrote this? Didn't know. I wonder if Vern Bell is playing trumpet in the orchestra. :-)

  • @kelamuni The song was produced in the US for different cities. Carol Gay Bell adapted the lyrics for Regina.

  • It almost seems like Dennis L was in VTR running

    it..nice tracking! :) I ran into Carol Gay Bell(the writer of it) this afternoon and started humming it! This will be passed to the "old timers" email list.The color version is around on film in studio 61vault.(I could never remember the numbers after I left). Dave A has the audio track that we played on the 50 th parade float.

    I was known as "The Mole" when I worked there(in VTR) and did stills for the 50th anniversary.

  • Hey, nice to hear from someone who worked there. I taped this off air sometime around 1993 on a 1983-vintage JVC VCR, which explains the poor tracking. :( I remember the colour version that used to pop up from time to time, and wouldn't mind seeing it again sometime.

  • Wow, what a headtrip! I feel like I should be sitting on the floor in my parent's livingroom with a big bowl of macaroni, and this is playing during a commercial break while I'm watching "The Flintstones" at lunchtime! Thanks for posting!

  • Oh My Gosh!

    I have sung this all my life, and drove my sister and her friend crazy singing this while out fishing up north - they were ready to throw me overboard!!!

    FINALLY! I can hear it again! the WHOLE THING!  LOL!

    THANK YOU!

see all

  • .... and I remember all this words to this one, too... (see also "That's What Happiness Is" from CKCK, c. 1971).

  • @bluedart340 dito LOL

  • Did George Sprott help make this

    Believe it or not, there was a comic strip about a fictional program host at CKCK TV in the 70's that ran in the New York TImes magazine a few years back

  • A blast from the past! Thanks, I never thought I'd ever hear that song again considering I live in Australia!. So many memories of growing on 25th Ave in south Regina as a kid in the 60's and early 70s.

  • I believe that the late Tom Merriman was responsible for writing and arranging the music for this.
