A to Z 2024 – Letter U – Silly Songs – Underdog/Unbelievable

I’ve always rooted for the underdog in any situation.

My favorite TV cartoon when I was a kid, was “Underdog”. Here’s the theme song.

Saturday mornings were fun. We’d start watching early in the morning, and watch as many cartoons as we could. We didn’t have but 3 channels at the time, and no cable, or any way to record our shows for later. We had to watch them as they aired. Later in the morning, they’d put on some more, should I say grown-up type programming. These would be, “Fury” (about a horse), and “Sky King” (can’t really remember what it was about, but there was an airplane the characters would fly around in). These weren’t cartoons, but I watched them anyway. I think after that would be the music show, “American Bandstand”, which I watched, too.

I don’t know how my sister and I got away with sitting there watching all morning TV, but we did. I liked all the cartoons, but still my favorite was, “Underdog”. 🙂

And I found this one yesterday! It is so cute, done in animation, with mentions of all kinds of things we used to think were the best back in the 1990s!

“Unbelievable”, by Owl City featuring Hanson, was released as a single from the 2015 album, “Mobile Orchestra”. It was written by Adam Young, Isaac Hanson, Matthew Thiessen, and Emily Wright, and is on the Republic label.

It’s unbelievable
This is as good as it gets
It’s unbelievable
Don’t know what’s gonna happen next
It’s unbelievable
You haven’t seen nothing yet
It’s unbelievable, it’s unbelievableWhen I was a kid I saved up all my dough so I could buy C-3PO
Put Mentos in my Diet Coke in the backseat of the bus
When I was a kid I ate spaghetti Os, played laser tag and GI Joe’s
And if you vowed no girls allowed then you could join the club
When I was I was a kid I spent my Saturday’s
Blowin’ on Nintendo games
The newest thing was Lion King and I could feel the loveIt’s unbelievable
This is as good as it gets
It’s unbelievable
Don’t know what’s gonna happen next
It’s unbelievable
You haven’t seen nothing yet
It’s unbelievable, it’s unbelievableWhen I was a kid I dreamed of Power Wheels
Stayed up late watching action films
And I won’t lie, my friends and I, were too legit to quit
When I was a kid I lived for climbing trees and Dr Pepper jellybeans
My favorite part of Jurassic Park was how real the Raptors looked
When I was a kid I still had VHS,
Watched Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff, Zack Morrison
The first cell phone, it was off the hook!It’s unbelievable
This is as good as it gets
It’s unbelievable
Don’t know what’s gonna happen next
It’s unbelievable
You haven’t seen nothing yet
It’s unbelievable, it’s unbelievableCat, pogs, and floam and home alone, Berenstein bears and bean bag chairs
My L.A. Looks and Goosebumps books, oh Etch-a-sketch
What happens next?
Grape juicy juice and Dr. Seuss, piggy-back rides and
Slip-n-slides, McDonalds Fries, those were the best
What happens next?It’s unbelievable
This is as good as it gets
It’s unbelievable
Don’t know what’s gonna happen next
It’s unbelievable
You haven’t seen nothing yet
It’s unbelievable, those were the days oh-oh

It’s unbelievable
When I think back on my name
It’s unbelievable
‘Cause baby those were the days
It’s unbelievable
It ruled in so many ways
It’s unbelievable, it’s unbelievable

(And I’m so amazed!)
(Those were the days!)

A to Z BLOG CHALLENGE  2016 – LETTER U  IMG_2362

We are up to the letter U in the A to Z Blog Challenge. The next few days, we have some of the more difficult letters to write something about. Guess that’s one reason it is called a challenge. 🙂

Letter U is for…Urban Legends

An urban legend is a story you hear from someone. They say they’ve heard it from somewhere, and it’s supposed to be true. The thing is, is that no one knows who started the story/rumor, and it just gets passed on, with misunderstandings, and misinterpretations about whatever it is. One common theme, is that it happened to a ‘friend of a friend’, and so it must be true.

Urban legends have always existed, however, they were very rampant in the 60s and 70s. Here are a few that have actually been proven to be false.

  1. It was believed for awhile that the singer, Roy Orbison, was blind, because he always wore sunglasses.
  2. The popular, hit song, “Louie, Louie”, by the Kingsmen (1965), was said to contain dirty lyrics.
  3. The 1965 song, “Puff the Magic Dragon”, by Peter, Paul, and Mary, was supposed to be about marijuana use.
  4. Paul McCartney was dead, according to some lyrics in the song “Strawberry Fields Forever”, by the Beatles. People began searching for clues everywhere in their songs, and album cover art.

I really don’t see how that last one got started, because he was singing on that song. Also, as you know, he is still with us, recording and touring.

There are lots more urban legends that make the rounds. Some are funny, some are scary, some are hoaxes, and some are downright unbelievable. I’ve heard a lot over the years. What are some you’ve heard?
