I know, whenever I hear this I still think of that fat witch in the cloud. Too funny! What an excellent example of the good part of American culture btw. The '60s ruled! I never suspected back then I was growing up in a golden age.

I can't believe I'm seeing this again after almost 40 years! I still think about this cartoon every time I think of (or sing) "Chick-a-Boom" (which I had as a kid on 45 and now on MP3). Actually, I think I still have the 45 but don't get much use out of it anymore. Did the Groovy Goulies ever make a music video out of "The Pushbike Song" (another one of my favorites from childhood)? Thanks so much for posting this video.

Funny as it was but the fact remains that the single "Chick A Boom" was a chart topping hit based on the Billboard charts and it was done by the artist Daddy Dewdrop,

My favorite song is Lights Out but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I wish I could find an audio take of the Frankenstein guy saying "I needed that."

OMG, I used to see this cartoon back in my youth. The Groovie Goolies would play a song and video at the end of each episode.

@MickScarborough This video brings back memories of exactly 4 decades ago. I remember watching it on our first colour TV in the spring of 1971.

Even when I was 8-9-10 I was noticing how choppy and repetitive the animation was on Saturday morning cartoons. My parents took me to practically every Disney movie that came out and I began to notice even then the difference between theatrical and television animation. My parents told me that tv shows didn't have the same money as movies did to do their thing and had to re-use elements in their cartoons. I outgrew them very early, with rare exceptions like "Johnny Quest".

@partypianoplayer Now this of course is a kid-friendly version of the original song, whose lyrics would have been considered quite racy at the time (and even slightly suggestive today) when you listen to it. Check out the Daddy Dewdrop original version here and see for yourself ;)

Thank You! I was very young when this show was out, so I could not remember the name of the cartoon, but I remembered Chick A Boom. Watching this brought back memories long forgotten...
