(OT) Cartoon/TV themes

This is an opening narration from a cool tv show:

"Good evening, and welcome to a private showing of three paintings, displayed here for the first time. Each is a collector's item in its own way -- not because of any special artistic quality, but because each captures on a canvas, suspends in time and space, a frozen moment of a nightmare."

Ah, Rod Serling's Night Gallery.

OK, this one's dating me, but...

_ _ _, who's your friend when things get rough?
_ _ _, can't do a little, 'cause you can't do enough.

Well, not even a single guess, eh?
If you never saw this -- either as a kid or an adult -- you missed out on some seriously disturbed imagination. Although they still deny it, the general consensus is that the creators were stoned when they came up with this stuff.

OK, the chorus I remembered, these verses I had to look up:

Just a dream from yesterday
A boy and his magic golden flute
Heard a boat from off the bay
"Come and play with me, Jimmy
Come and play with me
And I will take you on a trip
Far across the sea"

But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch
Who had in mind the flute to snitch
From her Vroom Broom in the sky
She watched her plans materialize
She waved her wand
The beautiful boat was gone
The sky grew dark
The sea grew rough
The boat sailed on and on and on and on

OKay I cheated, but I figured out what that one was. It is HR Pufnstuff.

Though, for some reason, a particular line from a particular TV show starring Lynda Carter has me giggling...

"Get us out from under, Wonder Woman. "

That song has other great lines, like:

"In your satin tights
Fighting for your rights
And the old red, white, and blue!"

"Make a hawk a dove
Stop a war with love
Make a liar tell the truth!"

"Stop a bullet cold
make the axis fold
change their minds and change the world"


Really - 'stop a war with love' - I don't recall Lynda Carter kissing the bad guys on that show!

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

So, try this one. (No cheating this time!)

We chased lady luck, 'til we finally struck -------.
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope, planted a family tree.
We got hold of a pot of gold, -------.
With a horse and a saddle, and a range full of cattle, how rich can a fellow be?

 

[Storm Raven]

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you you can't sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
With somebody else
But sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself.

Show me that smile again. (Show me that smile)
Don’t waste another minute on your cryin’.
We're nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin.
Oooohhh. As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands.
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin’.
As long as we keep on givin’
we can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other Sharin’ the laughter and love.

 

[Storm Raven]

You can count on me.
No matter what you do.
You can count on me.
No matter where you go.
I'm standing by your side.
I'll be right behind.
No one loves you more than I do,
Put your hand in mine.
I can see a part of me in you.
A little something special that comes shining through.
I hear it in your laughter,
And I feel it when you cry,
I will be right there for you,
Until the day I die.
You can count on me.
No matter what you do.
You can count on me.
No matter where you go.
You can count on me.
