Sunny day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street

Come and play
Everything's A-okay
Friendly neighbors there
That's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street

It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To happy people like you
Happy people like
What a beautiful

Sunny day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street...

How to get to Sesame Street

How to get to...Australia!

The Degrassi Junior High Theme Song
(Manne/ Watson)



Wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely,
gee, I gotta go to school.
I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it,
I wonder what I'm gonna do.
But when I look around and see,
that someone is smiling right at me,
wait, someone’s talkin' to me, hey, I gotta new friend.
Everybody can succeed, all you need is to believe,
be honest with yourself, forget your fears and doubts,
come on give us a try at Degrassi Junior High.

"Mother", he said
"You must never go down to the end of the town..."

[Bruno28]

First day back at work today after a protracted holiday. Yuck.

[crazycanuck]

Bruno-you can dream about your next holiday :) When are you goin back to Calgary?

My car radiator died on me tonight on my way home :( It's cracked & will have to find out if it's worth fixing

[lph]

"Mother", he said
"You must never go down to the end of the town..."

".. if you don't go down with ME"

:D

[salsabike]

".. if you don't go down with ME"

:D

YES! If I could have figured out a way for a bunch of us to say that loudly in chorus, I would have.

[lph]

's ok, I heard y'all. ;)

[maillotpois]

sorry bout the car, cc.

you guys are too melodic.

[crazycanuck]

I don't know the song you kids are singin..care to tell me more..

Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love @ first sight
Tell me more, tell me more
did she put up a fight

Uh uh..

Gotta love Grease :cool:

[salsabike]

It's a poem by the guy who did Winnie the Pooh, AA Milne. It's from his book When We Were Very Young. And I didn't even know it had been put to music till I googled it to remind myself which Milne book it was in.

Some of us are easily amused....I'm one of those.

[lph]

I adore Grease :) That one's been on my biking playlist for ages.

This one too, hope I remember it correctly:

I got chiiills, they're multiplying
and I'm looooosing contro-ol...


anyone?

[crazycanuck]

And the powers are electrifyin..

better shape up, cuz i need a man. In my heart he must be true

"There's nothing left, nothing left for me to do..."

When Grease first came out on video (1979?), we were one of the only few of my high school friends who had a VCR (they were GIGANTIC then). I remember having a Grease watching party in my living room. This after we'd seen it at the drive-in for 3 Saturday nights in a row that summer!

My parents had a Betamax with a corded remote control.

[SadieKate]

I remember having a Grease watching party in my living room. You throw great parties! Want to come to my house to watch water boil? :p

[DebW]

My parents didn't get a color TV until after I'd gone away to college. I grew up on B&W.

[Wahine]

I had an old TV with the wood veneer casing, clicker dial to change the channels and no way to set up a remote control, until 3 years ago. Then we got a new TV so we could watch DVDs.

[crazycanuck]

"you're the one that want.oooh oooh ohhh"

It's interesting that teens these days still love Grease. Stockard Channing's still cool & not bad looking after all these years.

Now..TV's-are we the only household that doesn't have a widescreen TV??? I think it would only encourage us to watch more TV! Then again, viewing " Radio Ga Ga", " Princes of the Universe" " Friends will Be Friends" and " Driven By You" on a big screen TV would be ideal.

I'd sit alone and watch your light

I didn't know that Oz was in color until I went to college. Didn't I feel like a dork when I was oohing and aahing over the pretty colors, while everyone else thought I was a bumpkin.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I didn't know that Oz was in color until I went to college. Didn't I feel like a dork when I was oohing and aahing over the pretty colors, while everyone else thought I was a bumpkin.

Yeah, the first time I saw Oz in color when when I was already grown up. And that's when I FINALLY "got" it when they said "Now that's a horse of a different color!" :rolleyes:

[Xrayted]

hee hee hee. We watched it on tv every year. We got a color tv (and a record player! :eek::p) around 1975 I think. I was 5 or 6 then and asked my Mom if she could make it look the right way again. It's still one of my favorite movies of all time. With or without color. :o I was also the kid who, at 4 1/2, took a screwdriver to the back of the tv and removed the hard cardboard with the tiny breather holes in it so I could see the little people inside. I was caught while putting the last few screws back in. Fortunately, that bit of technology was eventually explained when I watched the Willy Wonka movie. :rolleyes:

[jobob]

I didn't know that Oz was in color until I went to college. Didn't I feel like a dork when I was oohing and aahing over the pretty colors, while everyone else thought I was a bumpkin. Oh too funny, the exact same thing happened to me, but in high school. :D

[SadieKate]

It wasn't until color TV that I understood the joke about the "horse of a different color."

[Bron]

That´s funny. I didn´t realise that Bagpuss (British childrens´ TV character) was pink until I got to Uni. Do you have Bagpuss in the US?

I did a ski course on the weekend. Our coach said on Saturday "so tonight when you go home and watch the biathlon on TV......" at which point four of us put our hands up to say that we didn´t have television. This was out of a group of seven skiers, so DH and I aren´t the only strange ones.

[DirtDiva]

Haha. When I was a kid I thought the olden days happened in black & white. :p
