Jingle Jangle
As I was diffusing my hair this morning (for those of you who don't know, this is an attachment you put on your blow-dryer when you have naturally curly hair - it stops it from frizzing up), I got that stupid Mr. Clean jingle stuck in my head:
Mr Clean gets rid of grease and grime
and dirt in just a minute
Mr Clean is stronger longer
cuz there's ultra power in it
I wanted it out of my head, so I was desperately scanning my brain for a replacement song. Here's what I came up with:
Early to rise
Early to bed
In and between
I cooked and cleaned
and went out of my head
Going through life
with blinders on
it's tough to see
I had to get up
Get out from under
And look for me
There's a new girl in town
and she's lookin good
There's a fresh, freckled face
in the neighborhood
Things are great when you stand
on your own to feet
But this girl's here to say
with some luck and love
life's gonna be...
so sweet
Anyone know what show this was from? I'll give you a dollar if you can guess it correctly!

Wow, I'm stumped. Can you hum the tune for me?
WAIT, I GOT IT!
ALICE!
SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS, BUT I AM SO EXCITED. GOT 1ST AND 2ND COMMENTS AND WON THE CONTEST. WOO HOO!
Mel, congrats. I'm glad my horrific singing voice was of assistance. Let's see if anyone else out there can get it without me singing it to them. Can I pay you in sexual favors? I'm fresh out of dollars.
Um, won't they get it when they see my comment answering and your comment confirming that I was correct? I do like it when you sing though. Very Kelly Clarkson meets Liberace.
Well I was hoping they would guess it BEFORE they read your comments.
I do loves me some Liberace! Thanks for the compliment
I knew it was the theme from Alice, but since Melanie called it first I have no way of proving I *actually* knew it...
Miss Lis - you are the real winner. I only got it after Lo Lo actually sang it for me.
I knew it too! Rats.
Whenever I can't get a bad song out of my head, I sing Hey Jude. At least then I have a good song in my head. Unfortunately it takes days to get Hey Jude out of your head again.
Damn! I knew it was Alice. Damn my doctor's appointment!
Sonofabitch, now I can't get Hey Jude out of my head as song by Flo, gum cracking and all.
Melanie! Not Flo!!!! Now it's in my head!
Kiss my grits!
Can't you just hear the southern drawl, "heyyyyy Juuuuude"
Mis Lis, Brooke, Ubi: The checks are in the mail....
Melanie, thanks for the Flo image. "Hey Mel, take a sad song, and make it better or else kiss my grits!" [insert gum smacking and cracking]
I just spit coffee out on my screen.
AWESOME!
We aim to please :)
Show me that smile again (Ooh show me that smile)
Don't waste another minute on your cryin'
We're nowhere near the end (We're nowhere near...)
The best is ready to begin
Ooh...
As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby you and me...
We got to be...
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby rain or shine...
All the time...
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love
I loves me some "Growing Pains"!!
It appears Ubi is a little Kirk Cameron obsessed this week!
I bet we've been together
For a million years
And I bet we'll be together
For a million more
Oh it's like I started breathing
On the night we kissed
And I can't remember
what I ever did before
What would we do baby...
without us?
What would we do baby...
without us?
Oh there ain't no nothin
we can't love each other through-oo
What would we dooooo baby
without uuuusss
Sha-la-la-la
I know you do! It's really sad when a kid is hired as the cute little brother on a sitcome and then grows into an ugly teenager. Ben... poor Ben... go sit in the corner with Adam Rich.
Most cute child stars grow up to be dogs. No doubt! Even little Andrew from "Family Ties" is creepy now.
Case in point: JERRY MATHERS, as The Beaver.
The fact that a kid's nickname was The Beaver is disturbing to me.
That's it. I'm breaking into a rousing round of the Pina Colada song. That'll show you!
Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
http://www.geocities.com/surfersal4/ESCAPE.html
I was tired of my lady, we been togther to long
Like a worn out recording, of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns, was this letter I read
If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the Cape
I'm the love that you've looked for, write to me and escape!
I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kinda mean
But me and my old lady, have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobodys poet, I thought it wasn't half bad
Yes I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malleys, where we'll plan our escape!
So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady, and she said "aw it's you"
Then we laughed for a moment, and I said "I never knew"
That you liked Pina Coladas, getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape!
Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.
But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....
Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your aunt and uncle in Bel-Air"
(Only the first three episodes of season one)
I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin' and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like,
Hmm this might be alright!
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
You can't hear me, but I am humming the opening song for X-Files. Up next, Star Trek.
Hello, world, here's a song that we're singin',
c'mon get happy
A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin',
we'll make you happy
We had a dream we'd go trav'lin' together
We'd spread a little lovin' then we'd keep movin' on
Somethin' always happens whenever we're together
We get a happy feelin' when we're singin' a song
Trav'lin' along there's a song that we're singin',
c'mon get happy
A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin',
we'll make you happy
We'll make you happy,
we'll make you happy
I wanted to put down the theme song to the Dick Van Dyke show, but I couldn't do all the daaaananadanadanada, danada, danada nada boom
Mel, louder please
Here's the story
Of a lovely lady
who was bringing up
three very lovely girls
All of them had hair of gold
like their mother
the youngest one in curls
It's the story
of a man named Brady
who was busy with three boys
of his own
They were four men
living all together
Yet they were all alone
Til the one day when the lady met this fellow
and they knew that it was much more than a hunch
that this group must somehow form a family
That's the way they all became the Brady Bunch
The Brady Bunch
The Brady Bunch
That's the way they became the Brady Bunch
So no one told you life was going to be this way.
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, you’re love life’s DOA.
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,
But, I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before.
I’ll be there for you, cause you’re there for me too.
You’re still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.
You’ve burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great.
Your mother warned you there’d be days like these,
But she didn’t tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.
That, I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before.
I’ll be there for you, cause you’re there for me too.
No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me.
Seems like you’re the only one who knows what it’s like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I’ll always laugh with, even at my worst, I’m best with you.
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear,
Well, it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But, I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
I’ll be there for you, like I’ve been there before.
I’ll be there for you, cause you’re there for me too.
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free eee eee.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
It's like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true ue ue.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free eee eee.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
ALTHOUGH I DO PREFER GEORGE COSTANZA'S VERSION BETTER.....
Melanie - I went to high school with the guy who directed the video for the Friends' song.
My Lord that sounded lame.
Lo Lo - who is this woman and why is she pretending to be Felicia?
That is pretty cool Brooke! Did he get to meet any of the Friends cast?
He did, but it was pre-JennandBrad - so nobody cared.
Brooke: Thank you for bringing that up. I was wondering who the hell that woman was, too. Felicia don't have no buck teeth! And I have not read or heard anywhere that the original left. Is she not coming back? What the eff???
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin'
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby
There ain't nothin wrong with that.
Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie
Brooke:
Kristina Wagner (born Kristina Crump on October 30, 1963 in Indianapolis) is an American soap opera actress.
In addition to the name she is known by currently, she was once credited by the name Kristina Malandro, Malandro being the last name of her first husband.
She got her big break when General Hospital hired her to play Aztec princess Felicia Cummings Jones Shore Jones Scorpio from 1984 to 2003 and from 2004 to 2005. Eventually, her character fell in love with Frisco Jones (played by Jack Wagner) and married him on the show in 1986. Frisco and Felicia were one of GH's numerous supercouples.
Real life mirrored the on-screen fiction when Kristina fell in love with Jack Wagner. After years of dating, they were finally married in December 1993. Citing irreconcilable differences, they filed for divorce in February 2001. In 2003, after two years separated, Kristina announced that she and Jack were working through their problems and privately reconciling.
The producer of General Hospital let Kristina go in 2003, only to lure her back in 2004 but was fired a year later in 2005. While her salary was still cut, it wasn't the 50% deduction that was rumored to take place had she not left in 2003.
In the July 20, 2004 issue of Soap Opera Digest, Kristina and Jack Wagner went public with their news of formal reconciliation. Since then they have attended the Monte Carlo Television Festival: their first public appearance since their split four years ago. In 2005, the Wagners filed for divorce yet again.
Wagner had been bumped to recurring status on General Hospital. However during May 2005 she asked ABC to place her back on contract for an important storyline in the summer. However ABC refused and thus Wagner walked.

Lo Lo - you are an astounding wealth of information. I bow to your google prowess.
Kristina Crump? Yikes.
Thanks, Brooke. It took some searching.
I'm disappointed that the REAL Felicia is gone. I also HATE HATE HATE the new Carly.
But Jason is still yummy!
I hate the new Carly too! She has an apeface.
At least we still have Jason, Sonny, and Lucky. The dream team. Nicholas ain't bad either.
Totally! Actually I think she used to be a man. Part man, part ape.
Nicolas looks MUCH better now that he cut his hair. Same for Lucky. He's delicious! Jax is fairly hot, too.
I can't believe I forgot about Jax! Bad Brooke!
From on I will refer to Carly as Apeface. I know that is not nice and I don't care.

I can't believe you're closing in on 50 comments with the Alice theme song, while my picture of a guy shooting a bottle rocket out of his ass while wearing an Uncle Sam hat only brought in 8.
I don't know what this country's coming to.
I think I made it 9, Ubie.
50!
I'm 51st and I knew it was Alice within like 2 seconds or reading the first line. I used to watch a lot of Alice and Price is Right when I was too sick to go to school. That was at least once a week.
the woman who played alice had a son. he went to drug treatment here in minnesota with someone i know, many years ago. he said he always wore a cros necklace around his neck and his goal was to shoot jesus. one night in the middle of the night he was jerking off and my friend was his roomate, he heard him yell"oh ya, I finally shot jesus"
think abou tthat the next time you watch alice in syndication
i didn't know the song but i'll give you a dollar if you can teach me to use the diffuser properly! i still go all frizzy
I am way impressed - Alice scored 53, make that 54 comments!
Brooke: Did you watch GH yesterday? Why is Carly so freaking obsessed about Sonny? I don't remember her being this way before. The original Carly was a psycho, then #2 seemed to get better once she had kids. Now Ole Apeface is a raving lunatic.
Ubi: I, too, am amazed at the number of comments. Sheesh
Sgt. Homebrew: WELCOME! I'm sure there will be another contest you can win later.
John: Have you noticed that Bob Barker is just plain old mean now?
Lil Red: Sorry to bring up Felicia. I miss Frisco, Ana, and Duke. Oh, and thanks for the interesting info about Alice's son. A shiver just ran through my body, and I was temporarily blinded...
Loz: It's all about the products. I use Pantene Hydrating Curls Shampoo & Conditioner and Frizzeze hair syrum. These things, coupled with the diffuser, work MIRACLES!
Mel: 55, Baby!
