Guess what TV theme song lyrics are from. :) Sitcom, cartoons, whatever. ;)

One per person, per day. Or Else I will unlease the VAL on you! :eek: :lol:



"Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A. "

Well the going gets mighty rough, but they don't seem to mind.
It's California, hey that's the place they must find.
Deserts and rocks are in their way, but they won't stop, come what may.

"Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?"

We've got the world spinning right in our hands
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest creatures, we know what we're dreaming"

"Sing a happy song

La la lala lala

Simple as can be

Next time you're feeling blue
Just let a smile begin

Happy things will come to you
So ***** yourself a grin! "
