I always loved the opening for the 'Electric Company'. Even after I was waaaay too old to do the actual show, I would still watch the opening because the song was so groovy. It seems very Peter Max to me. There's a fantastic 7-up commerical that has the same style graphics. I'm gonna look it up on YouTube and post it when I find it. Stay tuned, kids!

Ty,  is this the 7-up commercial you might be referring to?  In the 70's, 7-up had tons of commercials, now it seems you hardly ever see one.  Coke & Pepsi seem to dominate the soft drink markets these days.

Watching the commercial made me realize how '70's, 7-up, the Uncola really was. Hot!

One of the greatest theme songs, though I was too young to really watch the show

I totally loved the Electric Company!! 

One of my favorite E.C. cartoons was "I'm a very quiet hound".  I finally found an audio link (performed by Tom Lehrer) but haven't been able to find a video of the cartoon anywhere.

One funky thing about me is that I have a very vivid memory of music, down to the key. I can tell you strictly from memory that "Hong Kong Phooey" is in c minor, the MASH theme is b minor, and the Freakies jingle is in F!

You're a wild girl, Miss Laura! I can still vividly hear your musical laugh.
