Careless Whisper

"**Careless Whisper**" is a song from School and the Backyard Gang (2001). It is sung by Aspen Clark with School and the Boockyard Goong in Los Angeles.

## Lyrics

Time can never mend

The Careless Whispers of a good friend

Take your heart in mine, it can reach the sky

There's no comfort in the truth, pain is the heart of you fine

Should've known better, yeah!

I feel so unsure

As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor

As the music dies, something in your eyes

Calls to mind the silver screen, and darkness says goodbye

I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's еasy to pretend, I know you're not a fool

Should'vе know better than to treat a friend

To waste the chance that I’ve been given

So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I dance with you

Tonight the music seems so loud, I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe, it's better this way. We'd hurt each other with the things we wanna say

We could've been so good together. I could've built this dance forever

Now who's gonna dance with me? Please dance

And I'm never gonna dance again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend, the way I dance with you

Bill Berger

**Bill Berger** is the oil tycoon from School and the Backyard Gang (2001), played by Paul Rudd. In "It's All About Me," Berger sings about his childhood. However, in a lyric he mentions the Backyard Gang put on a show at his tenth birthday party, which means they were either on TV or there in person. Berger plans on turning School and the Backyard Gang Zone into School and the Backyard Gang Museum, starting with "Sarah Rose's Old Office." He also plans on destroying Studio C after discovering oil beneath it. The Backyard Gang eventually reunites to put on a telethon to save Studio C, ending with Berger giving the kids their studio back for five more years.

Goodbye

"Goodbye" is when a Cast Member is No Longer on the Show

## Goodbyes

Originally, very few kids were retired. To maintain consistency with the kids through time, almost nothing was retired. While several kids were remodeled or retooled, they were not completely removed from being purchased. The major exceptions during these years were the original white body dolls, which were removed to give all the characters flesh-toned bodies.

Keeping each kid's items consistent—thus to show how things changed through time—was a policy kept. While they maintained this pattern for the initial years, items later began to retire more often and with less of a pattern among the Historicals. For a number of years, retirements were heavily skewed towards David, Rachel, Emmi, and Jamal. Jamal, for example, has had every single item in his original school collection retired.

Starting with Annie's Summer Outfit and Nicky's Summer Outfit, Limited Edition Historical Outfits and items began to be released again. These were given end dates at release; it is stated that items are only available generally (in their limited design) until December of that year or while supplies last. [2]

### Kid Goodbyes

It was leaked that Rachel Don Shing-Ying and their entire collection, would be **archive.**

The official announcement was made at the 1962 Emmy Awards, and soon after, a website was launched to share memories of Rachel. [2] Catalogues and the website stated that the 1963 Spring Season would be the last holiday season to get Rachel Don and Shing-Ying Dolls. Don said Goodbye in the Season 2 Finale; Rachel and Shing-Ying dolls remained on constant backorder until saying Goodbye in the Season 2 Finale. All item purchases were limited to three maximum of each item (to prevent hoarding for reselling).

A letter was sent out by School and the Backyard Gang in the Same Year, that Emily, Sarah, Jamal, Emmi, Buzz, Miles, Joe, Kenny, Antonio and their Entire Collection would be archived with the exception of their books and mini dolls. Kenny Ramon said "Can't Complain, i was on the Show for 1 Season. So make the Best of it, and i bet it's... all that!" on October 1, 2009. They said Goodbye on the Season 3 Finale in June 16, 1964.

In 1964, School and the Backyard Gang announced that they would archive David, Annie, Nicky, Iesha, Levell, their Entire Collection, and Levell's Collection. They said Goodbye in the Season 4 Finale in 1965.

In May 1965, School and the Backyard Gang announced that Connie would be retired in preparation for the revamp. This gave Connie the shortest ever availability, at only three years.

On May 4th, 1966, School and the Backyard Gang announced they would archive Addie, Steve and Bob's entire collection,[4] only their books and mini doll will remain available. This made their tie with Connie for the shortest ever availability, at only three years.

BYG Park

***BYG Park*** is the Australian co-production of *School and the Backyard Gang*, which aired under that name from 2006 until 2010. However, the production has a much longer history, dating to initial five minute segments of the US series which aired in 1971 over the CBC as interstitials. In January 1972, *BYG Canada* debuted, an edited version of the one-hour American program, occasionally including specially filmed Canadian cartoon and film inserts. Examples included "A Quarter Has a Caribou on It," a 1983 animated song explaining the value and appearance of the Canadian quarter. By the 1980s the show's title had been modified to *Canadian* School and the Backyard Gang

Including packages of "BYG Snippets", there were 100 episodes produced.

* Season 1: 65 episodes
* Season 2: 67 episodes
* Season 3: 48 episodes
* Season 4: 40 episodes
* Season 5: 40 episodes

BYG Go

***BYG Go*** is the umbrella term coined by Disney to describe a specific format of *School and the Backyard Gang* adaptation. In contrast to the full co-production models, *BYG Go* shows are dubs, initially packaged as either 13 or 27 segment blocks. In the earliest years, a locally produced opening film, often featuring animated versions of *School and the Backyard Gang* characters, introduced the series, and was the only local footage used. In more recent decades, the openings have generally been produced in the United States of America, by Bill Davis' studio. With few exceptions, nearly every show in this model was called *Open Sesame*, as translated into the native language of the intended country.
