OK now see what ya did !!!! I got the song in my head but can't get the words right! What were they.

And since SOME of you sem to be mature enough (notice I didn't say OLD) maybe you will remember a string puppet that was on a TV show. His name was TO PO GI JO. I have heard of this but of course I am far too immature to know anything about it.

Po Po Gi Gi oh was an Italian mouse puppet, like lambchop.

Yes, thats it Po Po Gi Gi oh! That explains my DH squeaky voice!

Where's the Beef??? (Wendy's)

22 year old dog... Lucky lived a very long life. I've never heard of a dog living that long, especially not a large breed. He must have been a happy boy

Oh ya, that little old lady. We laughed and laughed at that 'wheres the beef' everytime.

Hmm... Here's what I remember without looking it up let's see if I can get it right.

"A horse is a horse of course of course and nobody talks to a horse of course, that is unless of course the horse is the famous Mr. Ed. People yakety yak the streets and waste the time of day, but Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say!
Ack. Couldn't do it. I thought that song would forever be imprinted in my memory. And I loved Topo Gigio from the Ed Sullivan show. I still have the Topo Gigio doll I got for Christmas when I was 7, even though my little brother chewed his finger tips off.

BTW - Here are the correct lyrics to Mr. Ed.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?

Well listen to this.

I am Mister Ed.

OK so we have so many spellings for that little string puppet I think somebody should find out what the correct name is.

I believe you and I are close in age noted from FB. My wife is 9 years younger then me. She does not remember the Jackson 5 record on the back of cereal, I think it was Sugar Smacks.

Sadie Sue,
Thanks for the Mr Ed lyrics! Oh the memories. I remember fantasizing about owning a talking horse one day.

OK but I think you are not mature enough to remember the Jetsons. You must have heard about this from somebody else.

I had forgotten all about the records on the cereal boxes. I am not sure about the Jackson 5 but I remember some records you had to cut out and play on the turntable.
