And for those who like to rock, a little rocking chair in the middle...
Song stuck in my head again.
This time it's the theme from The Friendly Giant, which I mainly liked for the opening sequence which featured more castle and giant/miniature stuff than the show itself, which featured a giraffe puppet named Jerome and a rooster called Rusty.
In a similar vein, I mainly liked Mister Rogers because then I could see Trolley come out of the tunnel in the wall, roll through the living room on a ledge, and back into the tunnel. What can I say? I liked toy trains. I still have mine in boxes.
Anyway, the song is all the worse because thanks to someone that used to insist I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I even know the words to it.
And if you're not old enough to remember The Friendly Giant but are/were a Buffy fan, it's the song that Spike kept being tormented with towards the end of the series.
Way to take my childhood memories and make them torment me years later, Joss Whedon.

Strange... or AWESOME? :D
Although if I remember right, it was a Scottish tin whistle that was playing in the theme song.
However, the Friendly Giant DID have a recorder that he tootled away on, you're absolutely right.
That your kids are going to roll their eyes and have no idea what you're getting so enthusiastic about. ;)
He might have, but I can't distinctly remember a bunch of recorders hung up. If it occurs to me and I'm moved to do so, I may go image mining for that. And I'll post if I find something, of course.
