At first, I tried singing this to Mary Hopkins' "Those Were The Days" - that sure didn't work. Cream's works. A very Spic & Spahn parody. Three strikes'll get you 5.

Why didnt u try the all in the family theme song

From on hard core baseball fanatic to another, good job bringing that series back to life. Do one now that uses the CUCKOOS NEST scene where Nicholson does his "Koufax's curve is snappin' off like a motherf**ker!" spiel after Nrse Ratched turns off the T.V. during the series(WAS IT 63?) 555

Thanks all! Paul W - Ooohhh! I'd have to give that some thought.

Cream did this song?

And the Braves led the Yanks three games to one in '58. Milwaukee hasn't won a World Series since. The Curse of Selig? Or are the pathetic Brewers just trying to balance out those 12 Packer titles?

Mari D - Yeah, I remembered most of how it "sounded" but never had been able to figure out exactly what they were saying except for the "Those were the days...." etc. parts. So I had to look up the original lyrics. THEN I had a helluva time finding the music so I could make sure they matched up. I even went to a record store and thought of buying an album (would have, but the only one they had available that had this song on it was a "Remastered" special edition of about 9 or 10 songs for about $24...took a Pasadena on that deal). Finally heard it and finished the song. Michael P - Yeah, really lame, stupid management coupled with revenue problems and generally mediocre, uninspired General Management decisions might have something to do with it also. Or it could just be a curse thing...Anyway, I moved to L.A. in 1959 and, lo and behold the Dodgers came back after a pathetic 1st season in L.A. in 1958 and stunned everyone by winning the World Series (just for me, I thought, since I had just moved there). Maury Wills came from nowhere (10 rather ordinary Minor Leagues seasons) to spark that team and revolutionize the offensive game by bringing speed back into baseball as a serious scoring weapon. So I renounced all my past allegiances, forgot Hank (rf) and Eddie (3b) , Lou (rhp) and Warren (lhp) , Schoendienst (2b)and Logan (ss), Adcock (1b), Covington(lf) , Bruton (cf) , the catching Del's; Crandall & Rice, reserves Felix Mantilla (inf) , Andy Pafko (of) , Bob Hazle(of) , Frank Torre (1b-of) (Joe's older brother), Bob Buhl (rhp), Don McMahon (rhp -short relief), Gene Conley (rhp and also NBA player with the Boston Celtics), Juan Pizarro (lhp), Manager Fred Haney and the other couple guys on the team also. Yup, forgot all about those guys, don't remember them at all...Of course, now I can hardly tell you who's on what team in baseball anymore. Read about it a little in the papers but don't follow it very closely anymore. But I was nuts about the game back then, even lived next door to a real Big-league player when my family moved into a house in Baldwin Hills in 1959; Billy Consolo, one of the 1st "Bonus Baby" players, who signed with the Red Sox in 1951 out of Seton Hall, (via Dorsey High in L.A.) He ended up playing with just about every team in the majors for a least a little while. Anyway, he even played catch with me a couple times. Talk about Hog heaven for a 9-year old. Whew! Shit I'm old now...
