There was a business that appeared briefly in 'Good Neighbors, Duke' called 'Yellow Pine Lumber Co.'.

I've thought of another quick one. You could put a muffin in your meadow as a tribute to HNet's "Supreme Superior Commander" .

This one seems to have stumped everyone, so I'll give the answer. Armstrong-Peterson was the name of the (phoney) shock absorber company in 'Route 7-11'. Maybe the name just stuck with me after I reproduced it in the Signs of Hazzard thread. Here's another tricky one. I recently found the following picture of a Dukes guest star, but who is she? She seems to look different in every picture of her that I see, so I'll give a few clues: The picture is from last year. It was taken at the 40-year reunion of the original Broadway cast of Grease. She played one of Grease's "Pink Ladies"; a color memorably mentioned in her Dukes role. Her Dukes appearance was in season 1.

I think their address may be the problem. At least they can count Elvis among their neighbors - I believe .

Hey there MaryAnne, I think I've found someone for your lonely girl :

This track is slightly older at 29 years. Sorry for the boring video: I tried for the original video, but they were all terrible quality, as was the audio (even on the ones claiming HQ audio!). The reason I like this thread is that not only do I get to hear songs I'm unfamiliar with (like that last track - thanks Capt.), but it also gives me an excuse to find out more about the songs that I'm posting. I knew this album, '90125', was the first to feature a new band line-up (which I know isn't popular with some Yes fans), and that the album's name comes from its catalogue number, not a zip code. What I didn't know was that new member Trevor Rabin recorded a demo version of the song back in 1980. The album's producer, Trevor Horn, heard the demo and had to convince the band to record it (after he'd rearranged and re-written it). The demo was eventually released by Rabin in 2003 on his cheekily titled album '90124'. It's quite different in places - check it out .

Not only is this song 28 years old; it's even 25 years since I bought the "best of" album. The song is from the soundtrack of 'Give My Regards to Broad Street'; a movie that I don't think I've ever seen. It's an arty video, so skip on to about 1:09 for the start of the song! The guitar solo is played by Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour, who apparently asked for his session fee to be donated to a charity of Paul McCartney's choosing.

It sounds like your neighbors had no idea that putting up a street light would adversely affect you, and would probably be mortified if they thought they'd ruined your hobby. I'm sure some kind of compromise can be reached - maybe you can ask them to turn it off when there's something interesting happening in the sky. Alternatively, it might be possible to fit a deflector. I found an article about an astronomer who had the same problem here in Ireland: Dealing with Streetlights

The observatory is on the southern side of Griffith Park, which is where some of 'Hazzard in Hollywood' was filmed. There are a couple of pictures of that area back in post #136. I think the observatory only appears in the brief shot below (it's seen when Rosco and Cletus head off to look for a bank):

Think of a gambling storyline from season 1. Its location should lead you to a (fake) product.

A couple of weeks ago I was watching an episode of 'The Fall Guy' where one of the girls (I think it was Jody, but it may have been Terri) got kidnapped and held in an old railroad carriage. I looked up possible filming locations and found myself in Griffith Park, not far from WB's studios. It was then that I noticed that Google had increased their coverage of Streetview in that area. I was pretty sure that the following scenes were filmed somewhere in Griffith Park, but had never been able pinpoint the exact spot before. The same piece of road is used in at least two episodes toward the end of season 2; I thought it may have appeared in a third, but couldn't find it when I had a quick look. This first picture is from when Rosco pulls over the General and its illegal cargo (that was supposed to be a water heater) in 'Mason Dixon's Girls'. It was filmed on Griffith Park Road, not far from the golf course and zoo. To see it on Streetview, click here. Doing a 360, we get this view from 'Southern Comfurts' - it's the scene where everyone's looking for the gray car with the money in the trunk. Daisy's Jeep enters the road from the dirt track on the left (I tried to get a screengrab, but they all came out too blurry), and is then, almost immediately, seen traveling in the opposite direction. Daisy starts to catch the gray car as she rounds the corner. The dirt track is just visible in the background on the right, as is the junction with Mineral Wells Road. If you look on Streetview you'll see the curbstones aren't as red as they used to be, but the stone/fence structure to the left of the gray car is unchanged. They pull the car over just around the next corner. For the last picture I'm returning to 'Mason Dixon's Girls'. As the boys drive away from Rosco they appear at the northern end of this section of road, heading south toward the place where they were stopped initially! This part of the road has changed a bit since Dukes was filmed, and the General would now be at the entrance of the 'Gottlieb Animal Health and Conservation Center' (the veterinary hospital for the zoo). The twisted tree on the left, on the other hand, still looks virtually the same.

I'm doing three-for-the-price-of-one today. All the songs have the same title, but represent very different genres. I'll start with some British Prog Rock from 'The Dark Side of the Moon': My next choice is a little harder: a 1996 electronic dance track with a mad video: To finish, here's an American R&B track with the help of Grammy-winning dancehall/reggae artist Sean Paul: When you film your video on the Tennessee Valley Railroad, shouldn't you be singing ?

I was going to post Kim Jong Il's from 'Team America, World Police', but wondered if that was stretching the theme . Instead, I'll go with this: This instrumental may be better known, especially to fans of 'Family Guy', as .

I've been baking too. Happy Birthday Brian .

I'm a week late with this one because I was hoping someone else would post something and I wouldn't have to play out of turn. I'm not waiting any longer, so here goes ... As well as celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the first Beatles single being released, it's also 50 years since the first James Bond movie (Dr. No) was released. With that in mind I thought I'd post the James Bond themes that are only one word long. The best James Bond themes have a timeless quality. Many are a little over-the-top, but they also stand up well as songs in their own right and not just as themes for a movie. I'll start with one of the best known, and one of my favourites (yes, I know I spelled "favourites" the British way, but we're talking about James Bond, and it didn't seem right spelling it any other way ). This one's from the movie that came after 'Goldfinger'. The movie was remade as 'Never Say Never Again' by a rival production company in the '80s. Dame Shirley Bassey has sung the most Bond themes; this is her third and, to date, last. For those of you trying to remember the other one, it was , but that's three words! The lyrics were written by the late, great Hal David. In 1995, Anna Mae Bullock became the latest US singer to perform a Bond theme. The song was written by Bono and The Edge from U2. I'm going to bring it right up to date now with a theme for a movie that's not even out yet. I heard this for the first time last week, and personally think that it sounds like a return to the great Bond themes of old (after a few wayward steps along the way). We rarely get things earlier on this side of the Atlantic (except when NBC are broadcasting it "live" ), but we get 'Skyfall' at the end of October (and similar dates around Europe, while movie-goers in the US and Canada have to wait until November 9th.

I thought I'd throw in a curveball from 'The Sound of Music' .

Club For those of y'all outside The Emerald Isle, Club is an Irish soft drinks manufacturer. Rock Shandy is a 50:50 mix of orangeade and lemonade.

I could gamble on giving a truckload of hints, but you have to be able to take the rough with the smooth. Believe it or not, there's three clues in the sentance above .

Here's a song that was 30 years old earlier this year. It made #12 in the UK charts back in 1982, and was a hit in Europe and Australia, but never released as a single in the US: Wikipedia says this was the first "world music" hit, and that the singer, Sheila Chandra, was "the first Asian singer to appear on the BBC TV’s longstanding chart show Top Of The Pops". It's certainly an unusual, though very good, blend of Asian and Western music. Maybe the fact that few have tried to copy the style has left it still feeling fresh. A (called 'So Lonely'), and still with Sheila's vocals, made #8 in the UK charts in 2000 (there are loads of remixes, but I went for the Afterlife Remix because that's the one I have on CD).
