TV THEME SONG WEEK (PART III) !

THE FACTS OF LIFE
Gloria Loring sang:
You take the good
You take the bad
You take them both
And there you have
The facts of life
The facts of life

Billy Joel sang:
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.




Johnny Mathis & Denise Williams sang:
I bet we been together for a million years,
And I bet we'll be together for a million more.

Oh, It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed,
And I can't remember what I ever did before.

What would we do baby, Without Us?
What would we do baby, Without Us?

And there ain't no nothing we can't love each other through.

What would we do baby, Without Us?

Sha la la la.


WKRP IN CINCINNATI
Steve Carlisle sang:
Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, WKRP.

Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,
Town to town and up and down the dial
Maybe you and me were never meant to be,
But baby think of me once in awhile.

I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati..


THE JEFFERSONS
Ja'net DuBois sang:
Well we're movin on up,

To the east side.

To a deluxe apartment in the sky.

Movin on up,


To the east side.


We finally got a piece of the pie.

Thank you! Wow, you are really stirring up memories. I just turned 55 a week ago so these are like yesterday. Unfortunately, my kids haven't ever seen some of them! You are too young to remember him, but I was once a member of the Sky King fan club! I wanted to be Penny, lol.

Cosmic: Wait! Mick Jagger was right. "Time Is On My Side", BUT...Saturday re-runs allowed us to see this show when our neighborhood baseball games were rained out. I loved Sky King!!!!! Can you renew the membership? :D)

WKRP in Cinncinati was one of my favorite shows.
The episode with Johnny at the remote antenea because they were worried about a mad bomber and the whole time Johnny was unknowingly banging the bomb around HA HA HA

Maria: I almost included "Full House". I stayed up very late gathering material and it was a hard choice. I wanted to have something for everyone! lol!!!!!!!

Snoopmurph: I remember Les' "over-the-top" self-promotions "On the Air"!!!! :D)

Walker: Dysfunctional radio stations abound! It's a crazy business and I'm so glad that I am finished with the radio part of my career!
