I saw a video series about video TV theme songs. I enjoyed some of the old ones, such as the 50s one. I got most of them right, but missed numbers 5, 8 (shoulda got that one), 11, 15, 20, 21, 27, and 28. So, getting 21 of 29 is a solid C, right?
What’s been rattling around in your mind? Got something that’s been aching to get out? Now’s the time. It’s Monday Night Open Thread.
What’s on your mind?
Everybody all in a tizzy about Ivanka Trump showing up at a meeting of world leaders, while I’m over here wondering why anybody from France was attending.
All of those theme songs sound familiar but I really remember Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rawhide
Keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin’, rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin’ my gal was by my side
All the things I’m missin’
Good vittles, love and kissin’
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move ’em on, head ’em up
Head ’em up, move ’em on
Move ’em on, head ’em up, rawhide
Cut ’em out, ride ’em in
Ride ’em in, cut ’em out
Cut ’em out, ride ’em in, rawhide
Keep movin’, movin’, movin’
Though they’re disapprovin’
Keep them dogies movin’, rawhide
Don’t try to understand ’em
Just rope ’em, throw, and brand ’em
Soon we’ll be livin’ high and wide
My heart’s calculatin’
My true love will be waitin’
Be waitin’ at the end of my ride
Move ’em on, head ’em up
Head ’em up, move ’em on
Move ’em on, head ’em up, rawhide
Cut ’em out, ride ’em in
Ride ’em in, cut ’em out
Cut ’em out, ride ’em in, rawhide
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Rawhide
Rawhide
You only know that one because Jake and Elwood needed to come up with something to keep a hunky took crowd happy.
Have I mentioned that I hate autocorrect?
Honky tonk, you asinine algorithm.
I really get excited when the sound of the whip comes on…
Got about 90%. Really surprised i missed “Ozzie + Harriet”! I listened to them on radio 70 years ago. 1 of my favorie songs is the “hillbilly” singing about his sad time at “Garden Party”! He’d rather drive a truck!
Completely off-topic. But — Basil says to post what’s on your mind. So . . .
Of her, I’m really awfully fond
So what present can I get her?
She teased me, once, do I like her blonde?
Or, maybe, brunetter?
She sure has some weird projects planned
I’ll pay for as her debtor.
One thing, though, I understand —
I’ll never forget her.
She cannot enter in a room
Without making it better.
I’d rather hear the crack of doom
Than hear that I upset her.
Gorgeous in a compromise
Or in a reindeer sweater;
Her face, emotions, eyebrows, eyes:
I’ll never forget her.
So tell me what a man can get
For someone evanescent
(She’s a goddess, don’t forget)
Who lives a perfect present?
Perhaps a gala theater show?
Or a true love letter?
Tell me how to tell her, though?
I’ll never forget her.
You’re a poet,
and you know it.
A new set of tires. Got romance written all over it, never fails.
Yang/Williamson 2020!
I only got ten. But I was born in1959 so they were only reruns once I was old enough to stop soiling my undergarnents.
The Peter Gunn intro was actualyy pretty cool for a 50’s show.. I don’t think I ever saw it, though.
I forgive you but only if you saw ‘Batman’ the 60’s series in it’s original run.
