Views: 3819

Here is Part 2 of an NBC Special Report (on local Rockford affiliate WTVO Channel 17) from when it was first announced that Elvis Presley had died.

Here you get a FuzzyMemories Two-fer: an historical event and a technical difficulties moment all in one. The sound fades down at the end of the Brian Ross piece and doesn't return when the discussion panel segment in the studio begins featuring David Marsh of Rolling Stone Magazine, Disc Jockey Murray The K, and Steve Dunleavy of...

The theme song used is a jazzy, funky, disco-fied instrumental version of "Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here." (anyone know where it came from or who played on it?)

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Sven Sings" (1971?)

Views: 2172

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #1 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #2 or Break #3 for all we know. This one features Sven singing a parody of "Button Up Your Overcoat" with backup vocals by Zelda,...
