Sounds like the intro to Gilligan's Island.

#onefortheoldies

 

I used to ****ing love that. I can remember the music.

 

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip,
that started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
the Skipper brave and sure,
five passengers set sail that day,
for a three hour tour,
a three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
the Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.

 

Gilligan's Island is permanent culture in the US. Even teens are familiar with it despite how long ago it was made. Some cable channels still replay it. It is as well known here and part of the national fabric as Fawlty Towers, or Monty Python is in England. Lives on past its original generation.

Can't say I love the show, but it's OK.

 

add only fools and horses to that. although that was 80's, depends if that is classed as too recent or not, i reckon another one will be bottom. i know you had the young ones, but i don't think that has much if any following any more.

 

I loved only fools and horses! No one has ever heard of it in America. Apparently at several times over the last few decades they've considered making an American version. Just like the Inbetweeners and Coupling, I can't see an American version working... it's too British a show to translate properly.

 

I know that the SS Minnow took them all to Gilligan's Island. Never once saw the show, but remember it from a quote from Scrooged, with Bill Murray, and I love that film. Christmas classic.

 

it'd be over after one episode... this time next year we'll be millionaires and then they would be cos americans would have to have happy ending.

only shameless has not had this type of happy clappy.

 

Do you still get the Beverly Hillbillies, as well?
Another theme tune that sticks in your head forever.

I haven't seen that show in a long time- but it's another one that people of all ages are familiar with.

 

Ozil out for 3 months, no offence to the player but cant help thinking is that a good or bad thing for Arsenal?

 

We play garbage when he's not there anyway, doubt it will make any difference either way

 

That's big news. He is capable when lesser sides are about. Chelsea schooled him

Really arsenal need Ramsey, flamini and carzorla more. Stick in wide men, stick in whilshire with those guys

In any event..... Arsenal problems = music to my ears. We need all the help on offer

 

For some reason I have "Food Glorious Food" stuck in my head now... minus "Food"


♫Arse, Glorious Arse, there's nothing quite like it.♫

 

Going off your musical line you are getting the word food mixed up with mud

 

Lot of anger and outrage from yoonited fans over Roy Keane's revelations about Ferguson, the comments sections of Sky Sports and the tabloids contain accusations of Keane being bitter, a liar, childish etc.

Can't remember a similar reaction to Ferguson's book in which he slated many people(including Gerrard, Henderson and Dalglish)but he stuck the knife into Keane's back and the feller is entitled to respond, no lawsuits from either side so we can only assume Keane's stories are true.

Keane was a great player and a great captain for the mancs(said through gritted teeth).

 

Couldn't give a **** about either of them. All I know is that Tommy Smith would have eaten Keane for breakfast and not noticed it! Keane believed his own publicity as a hard man.

 

Page, you need to read both books, not the red tops version of what is said. Neither has been vindictive against the other, just honest about their view. That being said, Keane has turned into a bitter old man and has nothing possitive to say about any player or team when he acts as a pundit on TV, i think he just makes inflamatory/argumentative comments to see his name in print.
