40 Second Songs #2 - Happy Days Theme

To follow up from a recent post involving TV theme songs and a Friday afternoon spent on the couch, I decided to share some of the results here in an attempt to make me feel like it wasn't a completely wasted day.

Granted it's longer than 40 seconds and its not an original but if that is something that you take umbrage with... sit on it





Homer: It'll be great to see the old gang again. Potsie, Ralph Malph, the Fonz.

Marge: That wasn't you, that was "Happy Days"!

Homer: No, they weren't all happy days. Like the time Pinky Tuscadero crashed her motorcycle, or the night I lost all my money to those card sharks and my dad Tom Bosley had to get it back.


I think that says it all really...

I went for a walk, and took some pictures







Not much scenery in fairness...
Nice snow doh

Barking Mad

Coffee does sound good actually...

"Cheer up, Ed. This is not goodbye. It's just I won't ever see you again..."



So the news has spread that sadly Leslie Neilsen died this morning at the ripe old age of 84.

Celebrity deaths are all the rage these days an usually don't register on my radar but this is the first one in a while that actually got my attention. This is the man who gave us hours of entertainment as Lt. Frank Drebin and this morning the internet is awash with tributes and memories, and rightly so.

The sheer volume of youtube clips and quotes from Airplane and The Naked Gun series that are all over Facebook and Twitter show just how much people loved this guy and the astonishing level of ridiculousness he could generate in a seemingly innocent and straight forward situation.

You've seen them all before but even after a hundred viewings they're still gold:






One of the funniest men to have ever been called Shirley.

He will definitely be missed.



Leslie Nielsen
