ATTENTION TV VIEWERS OF THE LATE 70s-EARLY 80s



I dare you not to hum a certain TV theme while you gaze upon this picture!

Hee hee.

Bastard.

[signsoflife.livejournal.com]

. . . nope. Not even a little. Actually, you got me singing "WKRP".

[spatch]

Sing along to this!

[tcb.livejournal.com]

*laugh* me, too!

Well, I went to Cincinnati and I walked around the block...

[(Anonymous)]

That's totally where my brain went, too.

[subbes]

that's not cinci :madu: there's no giant illuminated plumber's sign

[violacat.livejournal.com]

Me too.

[violacat.livejournal.com]

But then, I never watched "Dallas", and I had to check the name of the image to figure it out. I'm a little slow sometimes. :)

[kandelschwartz.livejournal.com]

Darn you. I won't have a moment's peace for hours, now.

[invisibelle.livejournal.com]

Neat, I can see the building where I work. heh.

[piezocuttlefish.livejournal.com]

Can't you normally see the building where you work? What's neat about that?!

[invisibelle.livejournal.com]

Not usually from an aerial view. I don't, y'know, fly into work in a helicopter or anything like that.

[piezocuttlefish.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry!
I forget that most people don't fly to work. I have a company helicopter for my job as . . . restaurant host. Yeah. That's it.

I awoke singing "Dancing Queen" this morning. And NOTHING has been able to rememdy that, yet. Nice try, though.

[lexinatrix.livejournal.com]

Damn you!

[limax.livejournal.com]

That's funny... I found myself singing 'Welcome Back, Kotter' I know. I'm weird.

I got "Movin' On Up" in my head. There's a wire crossed somewhere.

[archangelsk.livejournal.com]

This one time I thought you had infected me with a song virus from which there was no recovery — THANK GOD IT WAS ONLY A DREAM.

[joenotcharles.livejournal.com]

Never seen it, don't know the song, thank God.

I got M*A*S*H instead, closely followed by me saying, "There was no cityscape in M*A*S*H!" and forcibly switching it to W*K*R*P.

I've been to Southfork Ranch, and it's really kind of a small house with a small swimming pool. Ahhh...the power of television!

[spatch]

Don't forget the giant fake touristy oil rig with an admission charge!

They Might Be Giants' 2004 tour album Almanac contains a bizarre live version of "Particle Man" in collaboration with Corn Mo, in which said TV theme makes a inexplicable appearance at the end played as an accordion-and-drum march. It sounds pretty good.

[limax.livejournal.com]

Funky... all The Bobs added to their version (which they're not allowed to perform any more) is the word, 'Waiter!'

[spatch]

...which probably came from a live perf, eh? :)

Why can't they do it anymore?

[limax.livejournal.com]

I heard that they were asked by TMBG to not perform it any more. I've heard they've since started doing 'Dinner Bell', which I have yet to hear.

And yes, it probably did. Back when I was able to go to live performances, and back when they were still performing it, I was usually the person in the audience who yelled, 'Waiter'. And Matthew does yell that on the Cover the Songs Of... album.

[spatch]

I still love the version of Particle Man on "Then" with the second graders and the piano accompaniment and n'hey.

[mr-bad-example.livejournal.com]

Should I have not been humming the theme to "Buffalo Bill?" Because that's the first thing that popped into my head.

[off_coloratura]

Huh. I started humming the theme from Dallas. It's all buildings to me.

[off_coloratura]

Oh, It is Dallas. I'll be over here cringing in 70s-Induced Embarrassment.

[tyopsqueene.livejournal.com]

There are moments when I really regret the fact that most of your pop-culture passes me by totally.

[spatch]

I'm sure you could make, uh, Ronnie Corbett jokes which I wouldn't get. Mostly.

No, I probably couldn't

[tyopsqueene.livejournal.com]

I just knew that my parents' freako-liberal-hippie attitude towards television would ruin me one day.

Dammit all, we still had black and white and only three channels when I was still 15!

[mmcirvin.livejournal.com]

French lyrics!

[spatch]

Damn! The French are almost as fond of Dallas as I am!
