I couldn't agree more. I grew up with all the great shows of the 60's & 70's and loved their theme music, but this one takes the cake for all-time funniest.
Q lets see if I remember the lyrics. la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la hmm I guess I do.
Dick DeBenedictis conducted the music but STAN DANIELS wrote the lyrics. Here he is warming up the audience on the Mary Tyler Moore show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eUPWMBZIU0w.html "Who makes the fog surrounding the Golden Gate simply disappear? Phyllis... Phyllis... Who makes the warning bells on the cable cars play, "The Gang's All Here"? Phyllis... Phyllis... Who charms the crabs on Fisherman's Wharf right out of their shells? Who lights the lamps of Chinatown just by walking in view? Who? Phyllis! Phyllis! Phyllis......it sure isn't you."
My autistic friend pointed this out in his memoir. I thought this was his imagination but you both are correct. Hard to believe the producers didn't change it.
They did something sneaky. They put people in opposite black face and then shot it and processed it in negative. So technically the actors were not in blackface when it was shot. But it still has the same effect.
