Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Wilderness Road" - Musical Number (Segment #1-5, 1973)

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 segment (#1-5) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, "Greaser-Polka Band" Wilderness Road, accompanied by a lone piano, performs a parody of the early 1970's Coca-Cola jingle "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" (which was also a hit in late 1971 for both The Hillside Singers and The New Seekers) - and gets pelted with rubber chickens in the end.

Directed by Phil Doty.

This aired on local Chicago TV sometime in early 1973.
