[Cadaverous Pallor]

The Producers. The library had a copy and we borrowed it constantly. Same goes for Swiss Family Robinson and Pollyanna and Mary Poppins.

The Love Bug was one of those movies they'd show on lazy Saturday afternoons on KTLA. I loved Buddy Hackett in that.

My first two non-kiddie records were The Cars Greatest Hits and Huey Lewis and the News' "Sports". My cool uncle bought me those. I played them until they were unplayable. One of our favorite games was lipsynching to the songs, playing tennis rackets and plastic pianos and my Rainbow Brite microphone. "Sports" is especially embedded in my head....every note of it.
