WKRP In Cincinnati's Closing Theme Song

*Hey! You’re young and swingin’,
No time to think about tomorrow.
But there ain’t no use in denyin’ it–
Some day, you’re gonna buy it.
So get yourself to Ferriman tomorrow!

Ferriman!
Ferriman!
He’s the man with the plot, the man with the plan–
Ferriman!
Ferriman!
He’s the mortician man who loves you–a lot!*

Aside from the Turkey Drop episode — which is, let’s face it, in a whole 'nother paradigm — this is probably my favorite. Mainly because of Fred Stuhlman’s performance. One line that always cracks me up (talking about the fact that he runs a high-volume business):

Hey, you’re young and swingin’,
No time to think about tomorrow,
But they’re ain’t no use in denying that
One day, you’re gonna have a flat.
…for a Morrison, tomorrow!

Morrison…Morrison…
He’s the man with the jack,
The man with the plan,
Morrison, Morrison,
He’s the tire-makin’ man who loves you…a lot.

Woo-oo-oo, woo-oo-oo,
Woo-oo-oo, woo-oo-oo, bye bye…

“I have some questions and I WANT SOME ANSWERS!
First of all…why are we all here on this planet?”

“As opposed to WHERE, Les?”

I believe that would be Fred Stuthman.

Said tothe bartender
Best night I ever had
Singing to the bar
Had a microphone
In her heart
I said goodbye now
I had a bird in hand
I said I’m doin’ good
And put love
In her heart.
Not gibberish like they say. If you listen you will hear.

Did you get this from another source, or is this something you think you heard?

Red Wrigglers, the Cadillac of worms!
We’re the
Cadillac of worms!

*Hey, you’re young and swingin’,
No time to think about tomorrow.
But there’s no way to deny it:
Some day, you’re gonna buy it!

Ferryman! Ferryman!
He’s the man with the plots, the man with the plans!
Ferryman! Ferryman!
He’s the mortician man who loves you —
A lot!*

(Not sure how to view the fact that I pulled the above from memory.)

Or from post #41 or #43.

When I get my hands on the Infinity Gauntlet, all these stupid links that have been broken over the years are going to get fixed.

Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we’re talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I’m probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!

Or the fact that it was Otto that posted that 6 years ago.

Once again, a lone stranger drops by the board, enlightens us all with his knowledge and depth, then vanishes. Come back, stranger! We didn’t even get to say “Thanks.”

Bugger!

Did he also come up with the opening riff to Elton John’s Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting? :slight_smile:

BTW: The DVDs with most of the original music is available.

Les: Steele? That’s a nice name.
Steele: I like to think a man’s name says a lot about the kind of man he is. What was your name again?
Les: …
