OT::"Hi-Yo Silver, Away"

[BooRadley]

"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and an hearty Hi-Yo Silver! The Lone Ranger! ...
. . . . . . . . .
With his faithful Indian companion Tonto, the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States! Nowhere in the pages of History can one find a greater champion of justice! Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear!
. . . . . . . . .
From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The Lone Ranger rides again!

"

Sometimes, when the winds are just right... I can be that kid I was, way way back in the 1950's... Today is such a day...

I swear I can smell the leather baseball glove I used in community league. And the sounds of Sky King, Leave it to Beaver, Father knows Best, Loretta young show, the Little Rascals, and so many other early iconic TV entrances have rolled though my mind today....

There was an early morning show that had a MC and a bunch of puppet characters... The show also showcased little movies of a little indian boy and his elephant saving all of the adults from tigers, flood, and all manner of dangers his fellow villagers were constantly enduring. I would have moved but this group was happy to stay and let the little boy save them time after time.

One of the puppet characters on this show was a Frog, aptly, but without a lick of creativity, named "Froggy." Now for the part that eludes me... What was the catch phrase used to call the Frog to the stage???? Does anyone remember this show and the catch phrase? This is driving me nuts for the past several hours!

[msf22b]

I remember it on the radio version as:
Press your magic twanger (sic) frogeee...
He then heckled the esteemed professor or kindly schoolmarm into submission.
Was not the show entitled "Lets Pretend?" or am i thinking of another one.
How about "Terry and the Pirates." Remember that one?

It was the Smilin' Ed McConnell show. "I'm Buster Brown, I live in a shoe. (Woof) That's my dog Tige, look for him in there too!) "The happy gang of Buster Brown is on the air, the happy gang of Buster Brown with stories rare. So watch for us buddies each Saturday, we'll come with a bang and a big HURRAY!!, Buster Brown is on the air!!! (To the tune of "Hinky, dinky, parlez vous". )"How did you like that, Midnight the cat?" "Niiiiiiiiice!"

And my recollection is "plunk". Froggy was, keep in mind, a Gremlin, and Gremlins can plunk their twangers like nobody's business!!

Wonk,

I don't have a song lyric for you, but I do have a little story that centers on mishearing words...

The teacher asks if any of her students knows a 3-syllable word.

Little Sally says: Yes, Beau - ti – ful.

The teacher asks her to use it in a sentence.

Sally responds: My teacher is beautiful.

Very pleased, the teacher asks if anyone else has a 3-syllable word.

Tommy raises his hand.

Yes Tommy, what is your 3-syllable word, the teacher says.

Tommy says: Urinate

Teacher: Well, Yes Tommy, that’s a 3-syllable word.

Not waiting to discourage Tommy, the teacher asks “Can you use it in a sentence?”

Tommy says “Urinate, You’re an eight but if you had bigger $%$'s you’d be a ten.”

so on what children's program did we find the title character played by Paul Tripp?

 

[Zorro]

"Let's Pretend" was neat, too. So were Jack Armstrong" ("There's no time for that now, Uncle Jim"), Sky King, and Grand Central Station, among a host of others. Fill in the blanks; "Hi, Hey, Ho there kids, it's time for ___ ____ and ______!"

 

[Wonkster]

"They ha' slain the Earl o' Moray, an' Lady Mondagreen!" No contest.

I guess Robert burns your rears, butt that ain't a song, Z-man!

I begs to differentiate! If a ballad ain't a song, then what in tarnation is it, I asks!?!

"The Bonnie Earl o' Moray is a Scots ballad dating from as far back as the 17th century..."

 

[Bestiarius]

Big John & Sparky on the No School Today show? I remember that one on Saturdays.

Song Lyrics: Jose can you see.... Jose is probably wondering why such a big crowd is so concerned about him. And besides, it isn't even morning!

It's the thing you tie a ship to.

 

[msf22b]

A few more of my favorites:

There's Billy Joel's "You May Be Right" You made the rice, I made the gravy, but it may just be some tuna fish you're lookin' for. Instead of: you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for.

and the Bee Gees "Stayin Alive" Steak and a knife, steak and a knife.

Bob Dylan: The ants are my friends, they're blowin' in the wind, the ants are a-blowin in the wind.

 

[BooRadley]

How about provably mortal Jimi Hendrix's with his immortal "S'cuse me while I kiss this guy."
