Wiki also says he was a forklift operator, and there’s also video of that. 
I go so far back I remember hearing that song when the Bugs Bunny show was on in prime time on ABC.
I thought they were singing “oh, monsieur” :o
Every library in this country has piles of DVDs of kid cartoons available for free. And DVD players can be had for as little as $20 (probably less at Goodwill).
…
OMG!- I guess I don’t know every part by heart.
I thought (until 2 minutes ago) they were singing “curb the lights”. Figured it was some theatre term.
“Oh we’re the boys in the chorus, we hope you like our show…”
Call for Super Chicken?
I always thought it was “Hold the cheers, turn the lights.”
Huh! As my dad used to say, you learn something new every day. 
When I was six or seven, I convinced myself that the Top Cat theme went Close friends get to call him TC/Or by name it’s Worthington T, even though I had no idea what that meant. It wasn’t until I was 30 or so that I saw the lyrics in print and learned it was actually Pro-vid-ing it’s with dig-ni-ty. :smack:
Or a VCR.
Yeah, but I’ll bet he never wiped out as badly as he did on that particular day. OTOH, who knows? :dubious:
Still, a better fate than being shot by Claudine Longet
Mine’s been showing the news for four hours straight of the same 5 or 6 stories over and over and over.
Yeah, since no new children are being born there’s no need for cartoons anymore.
Yes, but what would we have done without the Claudine Longet Invitational Ski Tournament? 
It should be the Claudine Longet Invitational Biathlon Tournament!
Theme music: Victim of Love, by the Eagles.
Dunno if you’re whooshing me here, but I’ll post this anyway:
AV CLUB: Saturday Night Live, Season 1, Episode 18 (24 April 1976)
Three days before this episode aired, Claudine Longet, a French pop singer and actress best known for having been married to Andy Williams and her role as the female lead in the Peter Sellers-Blake Edwards movie The Party, shot and killed her lover, pro skier Spider Sabich. The show addressed this with a sketch called “The Claudine Longet Invitational,” which consists mostly of file footage of skiers taking tumbles, with the added sound of gunfire, and Chevy Chase, as a TV announcer, saying, “Uh-oh, he seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet.” After the lawyers got involved, SNL offered an on-air apology, which sort of makes this sketch the SNL equivalent of the 1973 National Lampoon parody ad about how Ted Kennedy would have been President if he’d only driven a Volkswagen: “It floats.” (If you couldn’t tell this sketch was written by Michael O’Donoghue, he left his signature by naming Jane Curtin’s character “Jessica Antlerdance.” See the 1977 Mardi Gras episode for more details.)
More of a side joke.
Biathlon fits better, because of the skiing and shooting.* I think SNL missed the mark a bit in their skit. Maybe they should have taken more drugs. Or fewer…
And I’d heard (though can’t confirm) that Victim of Love was about Longet and Sabich.
*I think biathlon is the Olympic event for spies. Bond would be a medalist.
Yes, but in a biathlon, the skiers would be the shooters, not the shootees.
I loved garfield and friends. Sucks that kids will lose the experience of saturday morning cartoons, but they can get them on demand now so it doesn’t matter.
Same thing for me with the Flintstones.
Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet.
It was years before I learned that was what that line was.
I, uh, see your point.
