A line from a tv theme song is given, and the next person gives the next line, the name of the show, and a line from another show to continue the game. Tp make it a little harder, the line given as a clue doesn’t have to be the first line of the lyrics. I’ll start with:
Phoebe Figalilly is a silly name…
And so many silly things keep happening.
Nanny and the Professor
Look! It’s the nut who walks around in pajamas.
I remember singing this when I was a kid:
That’s no nut, boy-that’s Captain Nice!
Captain Nice
A stage and a wagon a-headin’ West
Part of a wagon train lost from the rest
Dusty’s the reason for their plight
Thanks’ to Dusty nothin’s right
Wow. Dusty’s Trail. I haven’t thought about that since the 1970’s.
Out of the night, When the full moon is bright
…comes a horseman known as Zorro.
Zorro
Fred, if you’re afraid, you’ll have to overlook it,
Besides, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it. (squawk!)
Super Chicken
Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree,
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier!
Davy Crockett
Dum-da-Dum-Dum
Dum-da-Dum-Dum-DUM!
(I know, they aren’t lyrics, but you should be able to guess it anyway.)
The next “line” is “Dum, da, dum, dum, da, dum, da, dum” I believe.
Dragnet
And with their boy, who did protest
Note: My Beloved reminded me of another important rule of the game. If it wasn’t sung during the title sequence on a regular basis, it doesn’t count as a theme song for the purpose of this game, so the words to the original Star Trek theme and the words sung during an early episode of Bonanza are out.
U.S. series?
They all came west to live with Best
Best of the West
Now in the legend of the west,
One name stands out of all the rest.
The man who had the fastest gun,*
His name was Bat, Bat Masterson.
Bat Masterson
Seems we just get started and before you know it
comes the time we have to say ‘so long.’
*The Carol Burnett Show
*The kinfolk said “Jed move away from there”
Said “Califronia’s the place you ought to be”
The Beverly Hillbillies
We built the walls, we built the pyramids.
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries
Big Bang Theory
About space people and a brave crew,
As through the barrier of time they flew.
It’s About Time (Ooo-ooo)
He protects and he saves his friends under the waves,
That’s where you’ll find Diver Dan.
Diver Dan
Is he strong? Listen, bud,
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread, [del]no he can’t, he’s a pig[/del] take a look overhead.
Spiderman
Then the cat will stay out for the night.
When you’re with the Flintstones
The Flintstones
This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits
We’re almost to the part of where I start to whistle. Then we’ll watch
“It’s Garry Shandling’s Show”.
[I love that theme song.]
They’re creepy and they’re kooky
