I loved the Opera-like song "Hired!" inspired by the short film by the
same name.  It made even more sense than the little film did!  Truly
great stuff!

I agree--I must have watched the Wedding Scene 5 or 6 times by now and it just

My favorite closing movie segment came at the end of one of the Hercules
ones (the name escapes me) when Herc and this old guy are running through a 
cave and these steel spikes come out of the wall and impale the old man.
He lets out a very bizarre scream, and I couldn't stop laughing.  Does anyone
remember the movie this was from?

Would anyone be able to repost that letter?  I'm still pretty
much a newcomer to this list...also, I guess this answers the
question I posed earlier about the chances of anyone at BBI
seeing this list...or does it?  Or do they (see it {this list})??

Also...I read in one of the soln newsletters (the electronic one at the
syrinx.umd.edu site) about people who had met Joel, or others...anybody
else have gory details of such stuff?

All I remember about the Banana Splits theme is "Tra-la-la" or "Fa-la-la"
and the sort of stuffed-animal roll-call ("One banana two banana...

However, I do remember:
	Lidsville is the koo-koo-kookiest

	Lidsville is the living end
	If you get a chance to go-go there
	You'll be glad you did
	'Cause everyone that goes to Lidsville
	Really flips their lid.

And:
	Once upon a summer's day
	Just a dream from yesterday
	A boy and his magic golden flute
	Spied a boat across the bay.
	"Come and play with me, Jimmy" [or was it Timmy]
	"Come and play with me,
	And I will take you on a voyage
	Far across the sea."

	But the boat belonged to a kooky old witch
	Who had in mind the flute to snitch.
	From her Voom-broom in the skies
	She watched her plan materialize.
	She waved here wand [Special effect]
	The beautiful boat was gone.
	The sky grew rough the sea got dark
	And the boat sailed on and on and on...

	But Pufenstuf was watching too
	And knew exactly what to do.
	He saw the witch's boat attack.
	And as the boy was fighting back
	He called his Rescue Racers [Hmmm, trademark infringement by Disney?]
	Who so often had rehearsed [I'm sketchy on this line]
	And off to save the boy then ran.
	But who would get there first?

	But now the boy has washed ashore
	Puff arrives to save the day,
	Which makes the witch so mad and sore
	She shook her fist and screamed awayyyyyyyy [ works up to a shriek]

	...H.R. Pufenstuf, where you go when things get rough,
	H.R. Pufenstuf, can't do a little cause he can't do enough.



Seriously, if the guys ever attack children's programming, after
they fix Dr. Doolittle and remanufacture Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang,
I think the Pufenstuf movie could be fun; there was Cass Elliot
singing "Zap the World" and some number about being different 
("Different is hard, Different is lonely, Different's heartache
for you only.")  Plus Living Island, where the trees and houses talk.

I only hope the lawyers for S&M Kroft don't come after me for my
permissionless quoting.  However, since I haven't heard or read
these things in nearly 20 years, there will probably be enough
drift to convince a judge I only THOUGHT I was quoting.

There, there Jason (Jason... Huh? Do you own a hockey mask?),
don't carry on so.  It's not every day you get to see a big star like
Bela Lugosi sunk so low that he ends his days playing heavies in
gunk munchers like "Bride..."; remember, Ed Woods made this
move on purpose!  He thought he'd make money on it!  If lying
under a photo enlarger with a spaghetti strainer on your head 
can do that to Bela, it could do that to you, too.  Think about that!
The babe in "Bride..." was the same girl who played the luckless
girlfriend in that other Ed Woods extravaganze "Glen or Glenda"
about an "innocent, intelligent" girl who finds out that her fiance
is a transvestite.  And what about the Bela-standin in disco boots?
You know that Bela died during the filming of Ed's sci-fi classic 
"Plan 9 from outer space", and Ed's chiropracter filled in.  Can it be that they were making this bomb at the some time, and Bela croaked from shear
artistic exhaustion?  Enquiring minds are totally indifferent, but
*I'd* sure like to know.

Gee, Hal, you forgot "Lemminkainen is a Failure," "He Failed to Get the

Well, here's what I think. I think that you can use the MST name pretty
much all you want. However, if you advertise an event and use the MST
name or their characters in the promotion you should expect the people
at MST to cover themselves. MST is an up and coming phenomenon that doesn't
need a bunch of people upset because they paid to meet the cast at a party
and they didn't show up. This is especially true once MST was informed of
the party. To know that this thing was being promoted with their name
even though they weren't going to be there and then not say anything would be
pretty negligent and dumb. I've never seen them do anything to suggest 
they are stupid.

For what it's worth

	I know!  I know!  I know!  This one's easy!  My all-time
favorite is the one at the end of King Dinosaur.  The guy (who in the
movie had just been attacked by one of Planet Nova's indigenous
predators) staggers through the grass, turns to his right, and then
falls forward (towards the viewer), face down, out cold.  As the bit-
after-the-closing-credits (surely there's a term for this?), this
scene cracks me up.

	In terms of completely misleading titles designed to sell films,
see Women of the Prehistoric Planet (o0ne woman, not especially
prehistoric) or The Day the Earth Froze (originally titled "Obscure
Finnish Folk Tale".  Not to offend any Finns, but in America, Kalevela is
PRETTY obscure)
