Your earworm for today

[khaosworks]

When you find yourself in danger
When you're threatened by a stranger
When it looks like you will take a lickin'
(puk puk puk puk)

There is someone waiting
Who will hurry up and rescue you
Just call... for Super Chicken!
(puk ack!)

Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it
Besides, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it
(puk ack!)

He will drink his Super Sauce
And throw the bad guys for a loss
And he will bring them in alive and kickin'
(puk puk puk puk)

There is one thing you should learn
When there is no one else to turn to
Call... for Super Chicken!
(puk puk puk puk)

Call... for Super Chicken!
(puk ack!)

What? Is? THAT???
OMG. Now I have it stuck in my head without even knowing the original melody, my head made one up very quickly ...
Gnah :)

It's the theme to Super Chicken, a cartoon by Jay Ward (of Bullwinkle fame). YouTube has the opening with the theme.

Hm. Good earworm, indeed. Needs an antidote, the other great hero of the time:

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog! Underdog!

When in this world the headlines read
Of those who's hearts are filled with greed
And rob and steal from those in need.
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog! Underdog!

Thank you. I had it stuck in my head as:

"Speed of lightning, sound of thunder
Don we now our dog of Wonder"

for the past 35 years, knowing full well it had to be wrong.

Nope. Sorry. Too late. I heard that recording from the Continuum party and "Can You Hear The Pipes, Cthulhlu?" (with ABBA singing) has already eaten that earworm and is now searching for the occasional lucid thought to consume.

Terence — please, please, no more earworm. No more earworm! Whaaaa! I had to listen to that absolutely stoopid dactylic theme on Saturday morning television for years, and now you go and remind me of it.

*sigh*

Oh, okay. "I knew the job was dangerous when I took it."

*sigh*

But who's that ordinary-looking chicken there ... Says his name is something Henhouse?

I *love* Super Chicken! :-)
