Great Smilin' Saturday Mornin' Parade
Notes:
This song was sung by the Kids, Freddie Prinze and female backup singers
in The Great NBC Smilin’ Saturday Mornin’ Parade special and
was also featured in commercials for NBC’s Saturday morning lineup.
Lyrics:
It's a Smilin' Saturday
Mornin',
And the weekend's really here.
Got it made in the sunshine,
Got it made in the shade.
It's a Smilin' Saturday Mornin',
It's a bouncy mood we're in.
Step on up, find a groove,
For the show is on the move.
So let the fun, let the fun begin.
(Variations of
this song were used for the NBC Saturday morning commercial
breaks. Our good friend
Bill from the Yahoo!
fanfiction group
provided these lyrics to us from memory from one of these spots
featuring the Kids . . . and we've been able to confirm the lyrics from
a similar Monster Squad spot!)
Come to
Smilin' Saturday Mornin',
This fall on NBC.
Got it made in the sunshine,
Got it made in the shade.
Come to Smilin' Saturday Mornin',
Having fun and feeling free.
Step on up, find the groove,
All the best is on the move.
So join the fun this fall on NBC.
Bill describes the commercial this way:
The guys would walk single file one in
front of the other, with each one singing as they approach the camera
and so on . . . and then circling and walking towards the camera again
until the song was finished (again, to the best of my recollection.)
