WFLD Channel 32 - Son Of Svengoolie - "Tax Time" (1985)

Views: 1725

Here's an excerpt from the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "The Wolf Man" on WFLD Channel 32. Features a song about having to pay your taxes, set to the tune of the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride". I believe this bit was recycled from an episode in April 1984, as evidenced by the joke about Bob Bell retiring.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, April 13th 1985.
