Right off the top of my head, I’d guess your number is from a really old Popeye cartoon, probably one from the Fleischer Studios. They did parodies of things like Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, with lines such as “Salami … salami … baloney…”
Olive Oyl would almost certainly be in it, dressed in a harem costume.
(“Salami” instead of “salaam.” This might earn you a *fatwah *today. :eek: )
I’m also wondering if it could have been something on The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. I hardly ever saw that show, but a few times I did. Weird. 
I’ve skipped over a couple pages in this thread, but oh, yeah, I definitely remember that! The sound effects were a riot.
That was one reason I watched “Night Flight.”
His surname is actually pronounce bo-ga-tie. Nowadays, he’s a fairly well-known artist in his region.
Erector Sets are still sold, although AFAIK they are no longer marketed exclusively to boys, which is great.
One of my Facebook friends, who works at a college library, lamented today that nobody she works with knew who Yahoo Serious was.
Not that I personally was a fan, of course…
Speakng of construction sets, I had this thing with plastic plates with holes in the edges and little bullet-shaped rubber “rivets.” The “rivet gun” gripped the rim of the “rivet” and extended a metal pin through the body to strech it. You stuck it in the hole, released the grip on the “rivet gun” and the “rivet” would re-shorten, holding pairs of plates together.
In 1980, Ann-Margret co-starred with Bruce Dern in a film called Middle Age Crazy, about a man who’s going through a midlife crisis. Ann-Margret appeared on the Tonight Show, as Johnny Carson’s guest, to promote the movie, and she had a box filled with what she termed a “Midlife Crisis Survival Kit.” She pulled aPocket Erector Set out of the box, and handed it to Johnny, with an innocent smile. 
I remember that from the Mickey Mouse Club. It was the theme song for some filmed series presented in the show.
I think your lyrics are pretty accurate, except I remember the ending differently.
Bunch of mentions of ‘construction’ sets but did anyone else have Build-O-Fun?
CMC fnord!
That’s just what it says, but with more precision, in the IPA pronunciation given on Wikipedia.

Huh. I just ran across a thread mentioning that show Please help identify 1970's TV show - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board
Anyone remember the cartoon Tom Terrific? It ran as part of the Captain Kangaroo show. When I was a kid I thought it was great. It was the only reason I ever watched Captain Kangaroo.
I probably would think it was stupid if I watched it now.
I liked Crusader Rabbit, and its theme song.
This was called “Riviton.” Turns out it was dissapeared. (I’m pretty sure there is at least one gun and a few panels still in an old storage shed here.)
The thread search isn’t working for me so apologies if someone already mentioned it, but that sounds a lot like Block City from the '50s. And yep, I had a set. Another toy that had a strange affinity for our vacuum cleaner. And with small pieces that would be condemned as certain death in today’s world - I don’t remember ever swallowing any of them though.

It had no theme song.:dubious:
All this talk of building toys has reminded me of another one: Snapics from Tupperware. It was a bunch of plastic pieces of various colors which were snapped into a white plastic frame to make pictures.
I have a really tough one. When I was 3 or 4 or I had a very odd building set. I think my Aunt bought them for me.
What I remember:
[ul]
[li]Ring toys with 3 legs of hard colorful translucent plastic.[/li][li]I think 4 colors in all. Blue, Red, Green & Yellow.[/li][li]Above the legs were little nubs for the hollow legs of the next piece to sit on.[/li][li]This would be around 1969 or 1970.[/li][li]It was only good for building towers.[/li][/ul]
There are things called wooden stacking men that follow the same concept.
Obscure one: Handlit handlit (handle it handle it)
Or a different series: (Doorbell rings)…you want me to get that…?
