Arrive here with PSD. Last playing since 2003? Incredible. 
This is nice, but I really miss the broader arrangement of Mason Williams' original. Bring on the horn section! The version MW did on the Smothers' Bros was one of the musical highlights of my childhood (yeah I know that kinda dates me).

Ditto (pimp)
Oh Crap the TV signal's gone out again! Growing up on Kauai in the 70's, the tv went out alot. On comes the test pattern and this song. Over and over again, sometimes for hours.

Agreed. And a Quite Likable homage, at that (to me.) :)

Now there\'s a blast from the past. \"Hi thar. Ahm Gleeen Campbel!\"

Agreed. Plus, I miss the announcement in the middle of the original, "The Mason Williams Orchestra." Memories of the Smothers Brothers Show.

any music station that has this and Linus&Lucy on it\'s playlist is all right by me
