Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 8)

Views: 1018

Here is Part 8 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

"We Can Win When We're Ugly" song parody (incomplete)

Featuring Rich Koz as Son of Svengoolie. Also starring Doug Scharf as Doug Graves, the piano player.

Ok, it's not Chicago TV - it's from WUTV Channel 29 from Buffalo, New York - but I thought it was a fun enough promo that I wanted to share.

Can some of our broadcasting tech people name the different pieces of old equipment seen here?

Your Local Zoo or Aquarium - "It's Wild" (1984?)

There's a 10 second spot followed by a longer 30 second spot.

"Uncouth."

Not sure when these would have aired but I'm going to guess 1984.
