This time Wham!'s the song, not the band, in this instrumental from the '60s:

Here are three of the buildings down the road between the bank and the drug store. After finishing Cooter's truck recently, I decided it was time to finish this one too. The barber's shopfront was done a while back, as was the sign for Rick's. I just needed some screengrabs of the upper floor. Many of the buildings in Hazzard Square change appearance, and these are no exception. Both the barber's and Rick's have awnings in some episodes, and both lose at least some of their window signage as time goes on. I've included the ladder on the side of Rick's, although this is only present when the plot demands it. The building on the right that I've portrayed as Victors Bail Bonds is pretty tatty when first seen. It gets rebuilt in later seasons, but I decided to clean up the original. Because the top and right hand side are rarely seen, they are virtually blank. Here's a close-up of the barber's ... ... and Rick's Pool Room And Lounge ... ... and finally Victors Bail Bonds. There was a brighly colored, but unreadable sign in the window in one of the grabs I had, so I copied the 'For Sale' sign that appeared in the same building in later seasons.

CDoherty, you have a good memory . I remembered the line, but not the episode. It appears just after the opening credits in 'Officer Daisy Duke' when Bo and Luke are taking Daisy to the Boar's Nest. I've combined the subtitles from two frames to get the whole quote together:

To go with the '80s pop in the 'One Word Song Titles' thread:

That's two words Alex. You could've had: Freedom - Wham!

From 1969: Something in the Air - Thunderclap Newman

In case Roger misses this, just click on 'Flash Chat' on the menu bar at the top of each page. I usually right-click and 'Open Link in a New Tab' so I can go back and forth to HNet. Either way you'll see a login screen which should disappear after a couple of seconds, followed by the Boar's Nest chat window. Hope to see you there. You do know that first time visitors have to buy a round of buttermilks, right?.

Just out of the '80s, the album this song is from ('Days of Open Hand') came out in the same year as They Might Be Giant's 'Flood'.

I'm only posting this because there's a current commercial with a similar tune: I may be getting old, but I haven't turned into yet .

There were a few places that have songs written about their streets - I picked this one. Streets Of Bakersfield - Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens

Just squeezing in at the end of the '80s ... Like a Prayer - Madonna Warning: When first released, this video caused protests from religious groups around the world because of what they deemed was blasphemous use of Christian imagery. If that's likely to offend, then you can listen to an audio only version here.

Speaking as someone who can't play a note, it would be a shame if you didn't use your talent in some way. As Garrett said, you'll have to decide if the marching band is the right outlet. What's the down side?. Do you like playing in a band?. I wasn't even sure how a bass clarinet differed from a regular clarinet (other than playing lower notes) until I Googled it. Apparently it's not used very often in pop music, but I'm sure most of y'all will be familiar with that features it prominently.

Another song from the late '80s:

May I wish you a belated welcome to HNet (you joined years before me ). I hope your visits become more frequent.

I was just watching Billy Connolly's documentary about Route 66 when this came on:

Wow!, that brings back memories. I remember watching 'The Bionic Woman' when it first aired in the late '70s (guess that blows my claim of still being 21 as well ), but I don't think it's ever had a re-run over here. I'm not even sure if 'The Six Million Dollar Man' has been repeated, although 'The Fall Guy' is currently being shown. Your picture prompted me to check Don Pedro Colley's page on IMDb to see if I had anything else he'd been in. The information I found pointed me in the right direction, but was pretty inaccurate after that. The first one I looked at was 'Herbie Rides Again' (1974). IMDb lists his part as 'Waiter with Cake' (other sources just as 'Waiter'). The waiter with the cake is obviously not him. Instead he plays 'Barnsdorf' - my spelling is taken from the subtitles, IMDb spells it 'Barnstorff'. IMdb also attributes that part to Hal Williams (aka. Jonas Jones from 'Cooter's Confession', Officer 'Smitty' Smith from Sanford and Son etc.). The other familiar title was 'The Bend in the River', a two-parter from the third season of 'The A-Team' (1984). In this case IMDb names his character as 'Christopher, Amazon River Guide', when he is clearly referred to as 'Little John' (or possibly 'Littlejohn') in the episode. It could've been worse - TV.com's episode summary only names his part as 'Christopher' and attributes it to 'Don Pedro Golly' [sic].

Thanks for the link Mark. I've heard the full version of Sonny's rendition of 'Beep Beep', but didn't know he'd done other tracks.

MaryAnne, I'm beginning to doubt your claim that you turned 21 at your last birthday .

If we're doing 'America' songs: I also found that I had of the one that Mufn posted from West Side Story. It's by The Nice, a band featuring Keith Emerson just before his days in ELP.

Sadly the farm was dismantled earlier this year. You can read about it in this thread. Roger managed to get some boards from it.

I should've remembered this after Mufn's last post: America - Simon & Garfunkel Of course, there are a couple of other well known songs from West Side Story with a one word titles, but I'll leave them for Mufn .

The original of this song was a big hit for Cliff in 1959. The version above was recorded with The Young Ones in 1986 for Comic Relief.
