The Lyrics
We'll this is a song about the greatest moment in television and human history, an old 1951 episode of "Beat the Clock" featuring the 300 boy scouts, Roxanne and the elephant.
Oh, what a night
Late the month of June, back in '51
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night
You know, there were about 300 boy scouts
But Iit was on Beat the Clock, the show
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I, I got a greater moment
When Roxanne walked on the set
And my, as I recall
It came to the elephant
(Oh, what a night)
We'll we have take our picture
But they say that word on them for them
Sweet surrender, what a night
And I felt a day
Like you want them to say
Boy, you're terrific cheesecake!
And takin' my broadcast under
(Oh, what a night)
Oh, I got a funny feeling
When Roxanne walked into the set
And my, as I recall
The elephants came too son
(Oh, what a night)
So the kinescope is lost to history?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a broadcast, what a night
Oh, I felt a smile
Like a bigger time of kinescopes
Losing the kinescopes around
And takin' my losers under
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do...
Late the month of June, back in '51
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night
You know, there were about 300 boy scouts
But Iit was on Beat the Clock, the show
What a lady, what a night
Oh, I, I got a greater moment
When Roxanne walked on the set
And my, as I recall
It came to the elephant
(Oh, what a night)
We'll we have take our picture
But they say that word on them for them
Sweet surrender, what a night
And I felt a day
Like you want them to say
Boy, you're terrific cheesecake!
And takin' my broadcast under
(Oh, what a night)
Oh, I got a funny feeling
When Roxanne walked into the set
And my, as I recall
The elephants came too son
(Oh, what a night)
So the kinescope is lost to history?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a broadcast, what a night
Oh, I felt a smile
Like a bigger time of kinescopes
Losing the kinescopes around
And takin' my losers under
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do
(Oh, what a night)
Do do do, do do, do do do do...
We'll oh what a night!

Please note that we do not have an exact date known for this broadcast, but it was not after July 1, 1951. But Duc4 has proven that he knows this broadcast well, and I am sure that he will do many more parodies about this broadcast. A very fine submission for today. The person who thought of the idea behind this broadcast was a genius.
So, because I recognize this song, I can now render a judgment about this parody .. ie, that its pretty good. And theres a certain bit of ironic humor in pretending this snippet of a TV show that occurred 70 years ago is the most important thing that ever happened. But not if its done 100 times in a row!! That would be like a stand up comedian starting his routine with a halfway decent joke .. and then repeating the same damn joke 100 more times.
Writing this to clear up a possible source of confusion: This show definitely did not air before March 1951, as before that point, the show was on too late to accommodate a Boy Scout troop (10:30 P.M. on Friday nights). And there was an article that was dated June 4, 1951 that mentioned the broadcast as already having happened. So that narrows down the possible dates for this broadcast from March to May 1951, meaning June 1951 is not a possible month for this broadcast. Regardless, this parody (and others like it) certainly did its job in making this broadcast more known about by other people.
That’s your comment? “This broadcast was NOT in June 1951, but that doesn’t matter because George Briant fan is telling another user to write parodies about a broadcast that was not in June 1951, end of story!” Yes, that’s what you’ll write. Let’s see how many more parodies get written before this topic is banned. It probably won’t even be until after New Year’s Eve...of next year.
“And I felt a day, like you want them to say, 'Boy, you're terrific cheesecake!'” ... “We’ll oh what a night!” ... ”The person who thought of the idea behind this broadcast was a genius.” Great stuff.
