1 | * The theme song, which changed every other season, became especially epic with the addition of the "Movin' out in a new way!" introduction and backup vocals for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNiHpuyefbs Seasons 5 and 6]].[[note]]The video is the season 6 intro, which corrects the effect of Luis Avalos changing from Dr. Dolots to his normal self from a sudden change to the slow fade used for the other performers.[[/note]] |
2 | * The animated jazzy take on "Hey Diddle Diddle" performed by a band of cats (including [[SelfDemonstratingSong one on the fiddle]]). |
3 | * Music/TomLehrer composed several language-themed songs for the original series, and they're all right up there with his best work. |
4 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91BQqdNOUxs "Silent E"]] is a buoyant, upbeat tribute to the wonders that tacking an "E" to the end of a word can provide. |
5 | --->Who can turn a ''can'' into a ''cane''?\ |
6 | Who can turn a ''pan'' into a ''pane''?\ |
7 | It's not too hard to see it's silent "E" |
8 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB2Ff8H7oVo "L-Y"]] is paired with a memorable animation sequence to show the marvels of creating adverbs simply by adding "-ly" to the end of words. |
9 | --->You're a secret agent man\ |
10 | Who's after the secret plan\ |
11 | How do you act so they don't know you're a spy?\ |
12 | [[ActingUnnatural Ah-normally]] ''([[NotSoInnocentWhistle whistles]])'' normally ''(whistles again)''\ |
13 | Normal... L-Y! |
14 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sScHUorw-Hc "N Apostrophe T"]] provides an amusing duet between a cheerful optimist (Jim Boyd) and a grouchy shut-in (Lee Chamberlin) who loves turning words into negatives by adding "n't" to the end of them. |
15 | --->'''Jim:''' Isn't it a lovely day?\ |
16 | '''Lee:''' No! It isn't!\ |
17 | '''Jim:''' Could you come outside and play?\ |
18 | '''Lee:''' No! I couldn't!\ |
19 | '''Jim:''' Did you ever take a hike?\ |
20 | '''Lee:''' No! I didn't!\ |
21 | '''Jim:''' How'd you like to ride my bike?\ |
22 | '''Lee:''' Frankly... I wouldn't!\ |
23 | '''Jim:''' "Isn't", "couldn't", "didn't", "wouldn't", is that all you can say?\ |
24 | '''Lee:''' "Isn't", "couldn't", "didn't", "wouldn't", yes, now ''go away!''\ |
25 | The greatest sound to me, it stands for "not", I like it a lot, it's spelled N-apostrophe-T! |
26 | * The sing-alongs with BigApplesauce images from TheSeventies that were frequently featured on Friday episodes. |
27 | * Rita Moreno sang "Come Listen In On Me" in a [[LargeHamRadio Mel Mounds]] segment. The soulful pop music would not have sounded out of place on the charts in the late 1960s or early 1970s. |
