WKRP Closing Theme Lyrics

[Ubiquitous]

Does anyone have any idea what the lyrics to the closing theme of WKRP In
Cincinnati are? I used to hope that the CBS announcer would have nothing
to say every week so I could decipher it. The only word I can hear clearly
is "bartender", which is said about four times.

There were no lyrics written for the closing theme. The composer sang
nonsense words that were never intended for the final voice track, to be
replaced with lyrics yet to be written.

Producer Hugh Wilson thought it would be funny to keep the nonsense
words, given myriad complaints that no one can understand lyrics in many
rock songs anyway.

That's a crazy question. That's like asking what are the lyrics the opening song for the movie "The Black Hole" (1979).

I found this video on YouTube which may answer your question:

Pay special attention to the comments for some interesting revelations.

Aside from the cool visual pun about Maximilian Schell being trapped
inside the shell of Maximilian at the end, there's nothing in that
movie to watch.

Robots made of cardboard with crayola crayon faces drawn on...in a movie
that came out several years after STAR WARS. It sure summed up Disney
of the time perfectly.

Yes, it did. That film was hopeless.

It was also the first Disney film to be rated PG. Some people went a
little nuts over that.

Don't forget the robot that talked like Slim Pickens.

I suffered thru The Black Hole about a year back; hadn't seen it since it came out on cable circa 1980. It was one of the half dozen worst big-budget Hollywood films I have ever seen. It violated the laws of physics and science repeatedly, with the giant perfectly round meteor object that came right thru the middle of the ship and they were on the bridge running in front of the glowing hot object that should have incinerated them. Of course, there was also the scene with Maximillian Schell floating in the vacuum of space for a while before climbing into the Maximillian robot, and the Maximilliam robot just so happening to have enough space inside it to fit a human being and have air and water and food and waste facilities inside for him.

What I didn't get about The Black Hole is that Disney made a movie aimed at kids, but they went for this weird, dark, ambiguous end sequence where we are left to believe that Maximillian with Maximillian Schell inside is Satan or overseeing Hell, that went over the heads of children.

And everything else.

THE BLACK HOLE is the only movie I've been to (Rocky Horror doesn't
count) where people actually threw things at the screen.

Great soundtrack though.

But you have to admit, the way the robot floated down to the other characters at the start of the movie was creative.

John Barry never did a bad soundtrack IMO.

Fair point.

Said to the bartender
Best night I ever had
Singing to the bar
Had a microphone
In her heart
I said goodbye now
I had a bird in hand
I said I'm doin' good
And put lovin' in her heart

[mrz...@yahoo.com]

[Ubiquitous]

I think there's a YouTube clip with the lyrics.

--
Kavanaugh is a gang rapist.
OK, not a gang rapist, but a serial rapist.
Not a serial rapist, but a rapist.
OK, not a rapist, but a blackout drunk.
Not a blackout drunk, but an alcoholic.
Not an alcoholic, but he drinks beer.
OK, he just threw ice at someone once in the 1980's.

Original Lyrics:
Mad tooth bar chin-up, box zing outta her hair now
Still do the modern day whack-a-mole ditto-o-o
What's that? Good bartender, i'da hat-beer 'n' head out
I said I wouldn't do it if a poodle had a lid on

"WKRP In Cincinnati (Closing Theme)"
Misheard Lyrics:
Hey you, bartender
Get set up in here
Two little bottles and a rock 'n' roll bar, uh huh
I said, Good bartender,
Get set up and head out
I said, I'm doing good
Then I'll pulling outta here, uh huh
