the elephant wrote:The source material, for those too young to remember it (or to have been alive at the time). Back when color television was becoming more common in the US, shows were switching from Black and White and announcing it in a big way. (I will always remember hearing "The Beverly Hillbillies . . . in living color!) That will explain the very beginning of this clip. Enjoy! This is saturday morning stuff from 1967.
The Dixie Power Trio does a very hip version of this tune. I also wrote it out for the Nasty 9 in a "Super Hero Medley" along with Secret Agent Man and the old Batman theme. lots-o-fun!
Also I love the scene in the movie where this asian girl is on the corner singing the song (rather poorly I might add). very funny!
