I thought I'd posted this already, but it turns out I hadn't. I'm sure I'm not the only one who first heard this in 'Little Miss Sunshine'. That would mean that you're the one with the brawn and the looks, right Brian?. That's all very well, but are you both making lots of money?.

Roam - The B-52's Cindy and Kate share the vocals on this fun track. Sing along, clap along, enjoy . For anyone who's missing Fred Schneider's vocals, here's Family Guy's Tom Tucker doing his impression of Fred.

Nice work James. I think the blue/green planet in the 2nd pic is my favorite.

Christopher Hensel. According to his page on imdb he only had three acting credits.

Here we see the livery stables run by Moses (Scatman Crothers) with one of the horse-drawn trams passing by. We know it better as Cooter's Hazzard Garage. I guess Jeeter Davenport's blacksmiths must have been elsewhere!. The barber shop in Carson was in building #2. Both the interior and exterior appear in the movie. I wish I could still get my hair cut for 25¢!. Building #13 plays home to the local newspaper, The Morning Appeal. Just like building #10, it also has a covered section at the front. In the background is building #12 that was to become Fanny's Fabrics, Joe's Hardware etc. The final picture, taken from the end of the movie, shows the church on the left and building #19 with smoke coming from the chimney. If anyone knows of other movies/TV shows filmed on Midwest Street, let me know, or post some pictures yourself.

New member Mark B. (the guy who's building a 1:25 model of Cooter's Garage) shares my interest in the backlots, and he let me know that the 1976 John Wayne movie 'The Shootist' was filmed at Warner's studio in Burbank. Considering that it's a turn-of-the-20th-century gunfighting Western you'd have thought that Laramie Street would have been used, but it was Midwest Street (Hazzard Square) that played the part of Carson City in 1901. I guess it would have cost too much to give the square this treatment for 'Go West, Young Dukes'. Here's some pictures from the movie to show what the square looked like a couple of years before the Dukes came to town: The first picture is instantly recognizable, but the streets are filled with horses, carriages and pedestrians. There's even rails for the horse-drawn tram (horsecar) service. This picture is taken from the other end of the street looking between buildings 15 and 16. The buildings off to the left of this shot are seen briefly, but not clearly enough to get a screengrab. I'm assuming this is missing street that's visble on the 1980 aerial view I posted here (2nd picture). Building 16 is the one with the 'Express' sign. The large building behind that was probably built for the movie as it doesn't appear in the 1972, 1977 or 1980 aerials views. Behind that, the back of the church is just visible. Now we're looking at the square from outside building #19. The gazebo is visible on the left, and in the center is building #10 which has a covered section extending from the front. The building on the left of this picture would become Boss's bank. Although not visible in this shot, the building on the right (Hazzard's drug store) is the Acme Saloon. The buggy is parked outside the store that became Hazzard's barber shop.

I know I'm being pedantic here - I hold my hands up . This sign is seen in the Boar's Nest in season 1. "I'd like to complain about the inappropriate use of an apostrophe in this sign. May I return it?."

It's ages since I've seen this episode, and I had no idea until Brian posted the answer - I would have guessed it was either Bo or Luke, so there's a 50% chance I'd have been right . As another aside, there's another Dukes tie-in with Robin Hood that I was going to post in the Hazzard Square thread (and may still do so). In 1904 the construction of the Potrero Dam led to the creation of the 165-acre Potrero Lake. The location was used for filming the 1922 movie 'Robin Hood' starring Dougals Fairbanks, and later the 1938 Warner Bros. movie 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' starring Errol Flynn. After the filming of the former, the ranch became known as Sherwood Forest, and the lake and dam took on the Sherwood name. The Lake Sherwood area was used extensively for filming early seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard. I'm planning a couple of posts about that era, so keep an eye on the Hazzard Square thread.

Melinda Naud plays Alabama Jones in 'The Law and Jesse Duke' in season 4. It's the one where Rosco and Cletus (and Flash) are on strike.

Seeing as MaryAnne seems to like songs from the '30s ... Triplets - From the movie Band Wagon This is actually the 1953 recording because the video (featuring Fred Astaire, Nanette Fabray and Jack Buchanan) is more fun. The 1937 version by The Tune Twisters featuring Arthur Schwartz (the composer) on piano is . Very few famous people seem to share my birthday, but Arthur Schwartz is one .

Skipping on nearly 3 decades ...

I was in a '70s mood after posting in the Musical Chairs thread, so here's a song from 1970: Anyone outside the UK will probably be mystified by the YouTube comment "And a hint of the good old Pearl and Dean cinema ads music in the middle there!". During the '70s and '80s the 'Pearl and Dean' music would precede the adverts before every movie shown at the cinema. Consequently, a trip to the cinema didn't seem complete without hearing it - you can listen here (go on - it's only 18 seconds long ).

For some reason the video claims to be twice as long as the song actually is, hence the music finishes at around 2:40 (this was the best audio I could find). The song was released in 2005, but sounds much older - probably the use of a sitar with backing female harmonies. One of the commenters said it reminded them of the Sesame Street pinball machine song, so I thought I'd include a link to that as well for all the people older enough to remember it : Pinball Number Count - Pointer Sisters Glad to see you guys in the US have heard of Mumford and Sons. I was going to post this myself until I remembered it had that word in it. "It was not your fault but mine".

Welcome to HazzardNet. You'll have to post some pictures of your General for us.

From the influential 1986 album Black Celebration. I have to be in the right mood to listen to Depeche Mode, but when I am, they're great. As one comment on YouTube put it: "seduction and mystery".

It sounds like a description of Rosco and Boss, but this 1989 single was actually about slum landlords.

I agree with MaryAnne - it was definitely 'Z'.

Nowhere Man - The Beatles The song about Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D. from the movie Yellow Submarine.

I tried to identify this location when I first went through the episodes for this thread. It's the scrapyard from the end of 'Uncle Boss' in season 3. The 'Hogg's Auto Wrecking' sign seems to have been added next to the original sign. I say this because the part of the sign on the right that's readable appears to say 'VW & Compact American ...' and they wouldn't have made a sign with 'VW' named on it. After re-reading this thread I spotted MaryAnne's post with the pictures of Robert Culp (does she have any other kind) outside the San Fernando Valley Generating Station with the cars piled up in the foreground. This, coupled with Mufn's comment that 'there are like 40 bazillion junkyards, scrap metal recycling, and car wrecking yards around there' made me revisit the area. The picture below was the clincher as it shows the run-off from the Hansen Dam at the top of the picture with the Hansen Dam Golf Course to the left. The waterway below the dam passes the scrapyard on the left, and there are no roads between here and the dam, so we must be on Glenoaks Boulevard, just north of Truesdale Street. You can see for yourself on Google Maps. Both the scrapyards and Sheldon Quarry behind have changed considerably since filming. To help visualize them as they were then I've included aerial views from 1982. I've highlighted the dam at the top and and the two scrapyards at the bottom. If you've looked at the Google Maps link above you'll notice how much smaller the quarry is here. The 'L' shaped building at the bottom in the center is still standing, but the left scrapyard is now offices and the one on the right is occupied by a couple of car parts businesses; one selling Japanese parts, the other specializing in foreign cars.

I just can't leave those 'man' songs behind . I think this guy misheard the recently posted ZZ Top song:

We're back on track with the 'manly' songs . This song was actually on the album 'Pressure Chief', and not 'Fashion Nugget' as the video indicates. It's a cover of .
