On this week’s mini-music-monday, Lou re-creates the opening narration and theme song of yet another one of Adelle’s favorite TV shows, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams!
Again, to the best of his ability, Lou imitates the opening sequence narration and faithfully covers the theme song (‘Maybe’ by Thom Price) of a show that enthralled and titillated little Adelle. Grizzly Adams was and still is her ideal man. In fact, she suggested Lou grow his hair and beard out when they started living together. As you can see in the photo above Lou did just that and has never been happier. But, instead of hiding out in the woods, building lean-tos and making friends with feral creatures, he spends his days studying You-Tube clips. Listen to this blink-of-an-ear, 15 minute episode to hear he and Adelle talk the best and the worst of this short-lived 70s phenomenon.
Because I've been bearded, people have been calling me Grizzly Adams for years. But I never saw the show or knew anything about it until today. Thanks to your informative conversation, I feel like I now know when people call me Grizzly Adams, it's because I have a beard... Although I guess I already knew that 🤔
Good song tho 💙
Another rib-splitting segment. Kevvy and I were really into GA as younguns. But we also, probably high as fuck, wrote and recorded a song called "The Orangutan Age" on 4-track in our early 20s. It mostly dealt with Clyde from "Every Which Way But loose," who we believed was the same Orangutan in a killer episode of "Chips," but we devoted part of a verse to BJ and the Bear. The Bear was actually a chimp, but for some reason we got obsessed with monkeys in film that day, regardless of the species. Lou, I love how you nailed GA theme song in its entirety. Never heard the full version because they always edit that stuff down. Anyway, thank you, and ciao!☠️❤️
