Description: Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.

This transitional segment is from Show #60 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

This segment starts out with Svengoolie at the piano (with another hand also playing), singing gag lyrics to the tune of "Shine On Harvest Moon." Then he gets a package containing "a bundle of nerves," which he throws back. Sven promises the next movie as "King Kong O.D.'s on a Bunch of Bananas," and then worries about one of the show's stagehands constantly banging on a bass drum (the audio of which is manifested in different "Bang Bang" recordings) - from the inside!

Directed by Phil Doty.

"I'd like to thank you music livers - er, lovers..."

This aired on local Chicago TV sometime in early 1973.
