We'll it was the greatest moment in television and human history, time for everyone's viewers to watch their favorite 1951 episode of "Beat the Clock".
Where were you
When we get Roxanne
Well our kinescopes are lost now
What can I do
Oh, I believed in watch
You're seeing Roxanne around
Well you can make their elephant

You never know where it's gonna beat
I wanna watch Beat the Clock, baby

If you're going to pound this garbage out for Fedora Fred, ya gotta give us some interesting info about the band that recorded the songs. Tell us how Slappy Abramowicz played two oboes at once, or how Mel McGillicuddy used to buckle his pants up around his waist and sing through his fly. I will say your line "Don't let go while I'm the elephant cames" is comedy gold, but only because it makes as little sense as this obsession.
Phil, your comment is comment number #127 about this broadcast on this site. With this comment, the number is now 213. 87 comments left to go until that number equals the 300 Boy Scouts that appeared on the show. Makes you think, amiright?
Only 213? I though that, considering how many comments about this stupid episode there have been lately, that number would be 275,836,937,927,921 by now. Maybe we’ll cross the 300 mark by midnight, if anyone wants to take on that task.
It’s now 230.
And now it’s 242. When will we reach 300, that magic number?
Now it’s 255 comments about the greatest broadcast show ever. 45 left to go...
300 comments about the 1951 “Beat the Clock” show featuring 300 Boy Scouts surpassed on 6/3/2023 at 1:35 P.M. EST.

What’s the criteria for counting comments about this broadcast anyway? It’s as simple as the day is long; any comment on a parody of the broadcast, or any comment whatsoever about this broadcast, adds to the total number of comments about it. Our next goal is 500 comments. Who wants to help take on that task?
