Dude, that's awesome. Thanks.


I can't believe they didn't have "Sleeping and Dreaming" on it though. Just seeing that album made me look for it because it's a song I heard one time when I was maybe 4 years old and that little worm has been in my brain for 40 years now.

I found it on Youtube.



Really funny how your brain works though. I swore they said "Yelling and Screaming" at the end of it, but they don't say that once. They say "Shouting and Screaming". But in my mind if I ever thought of this song over the years, I heard them singing "Yelling" with the exact same voices and cadence of the actual song.

I know it's not a Mandela Effect. I don't believe in 'em. But it's funny how so many people do. I bet I could probably post that to a Mandela Effect board on Reddit or something and have a dozen people over the next year swear that they said "Yelling" and it would end up in some YouTuber's 200th video about Mandela Effects on Reddit where they had to explain to their audience what Fraggle Rock was and who Jim Henson was.




I have no idea what this episode or any other episode of the show was about. They just never played reruns anywhere as I was growing up on any of the channels we had, so I never saw it again after I was 4 or 5 years old and it originally aired. So it's just really funny to me that I remember that song.

Saturday Morning Cartoons died with the era of picture video internet phones or the growth of streaming and subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service.?

speaking of kids / cartoon shows

X-Men Saturday Morning Acapella

also Batman theme, Simpsons, Attack on Titan, Pokemon, Ghostbusters, SpongeBob SquarePants, Animaniacs, Spider-Man theme etc done with voices instead

over time Saturday morning toons seem to have been replaced by video games

I like the Flintstones one.... meet the Flintstones

Miami Vice "In the Air Tonight"

Don Johnson still acting doing movies and shows

Philip Michael Thomas does voice work




sad to read of Phil Collins suffering from health problems I think he is still playing while getting old but an amazing player, great composer

Saw Cheers mentioned a few times.

The full version will not be in the reboot. It would have been in it had it been rebooted in the world of 6 months ago that no longer exists, but not anymore.

Some have mentioned music from film, so I will submit this.
It is a recurring answer for some.

Adagio for Strings, by Barber. From about 115 years ago.
The version used in the film Platoon seems most poignant.

Even stand alone, with no context, folk are struck by the beauty of this piece, even when heard for the first time.
