JCinNYC2006:
I like this thread! Our next number is sung by soul sensation Donny Hathaway!
That uncomprimising, enterprising, anything but tranquilizing....

Jeff Wrangler:
This thread is great, but can anybody do the lyrics from memory?
That's the real test. ... ;D
Ellemeno:
Hey cool, Yous Guys! I never knew any of those things.
Jeff Wrangler:
And the third verse to the "Petticoat Junction" theme?
(From memory. ...)
When they hear that dinner bell from the Shady Rest Hotel at the Junction
(Petticoat Junction)
Folks will walk a country mile for that chicken country style at the Junction.
(Petticoat Junction)
But the dishes to observe are the pretty girls who serve at the Junction.
(Petticoat Junction)
Years ago a friend had a tape of TV themes--not the original recordings from the shows themselves. The "Petticoat Junction" theme had this extra verse.
You have not lived until you have seen four gay men throw a "Petticoat Junction"-themed cocktail party. They used a huge stockpot as the water tower, filled with some vile alcoholic concoction. And at this party there were four Bradley sisters: Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, Betty Jo--and their long-lost African American sister, Towanda Jo.
I'm not making this up. I was really there. ...
