Where did George steal his phone message?
Gil Rosin
Simple question. Did anyone recognize what song George ripped off for his
answering machine?
leg...@aol.com
Its from a TV series from a while back....Greatest American Hero
the origina lyrics go something like this
Belive it or not, I'm walking on air..
I never thought I could be so freeeeeeeeeeeeee
flying away on a wing and a prayer...
who could it beeeeeeeeeeeeee
believe it or not, its just ME.
the things I remember!
It Shrinks
p.s. as opposed to
Believe it or not George isn't at home,
please leave a message at the beep!
I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone...
Where could I be>??
Believe it or not I'm not home!
Just Me, Lisa.

Its from the old tv series. "Greatest American Hero"
The original lyrics went like this.
Believe it or not I'm walkin' on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a pray.
Believe it or not its just me.

I don't know. Was it one of his own songs (Jason A. is a singer)?

The song is "Believe It Or Not", the theme song from the old television series
"Greatest American Hero". The song was written by Joey Scarbury and I think
George just borrowed the chorus and changed the words.
Here are the lyrics:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Theme from the "Greatest American Hero" (Believe it or Not)
by Joey Scarbury
Look at what's happened to me
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I'm on top of the world
Shoulda been somebody else
CHORUS:
Believe it or not I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me
Just like the light of a new day
It hit me from out of the blue
Breaking me out of the spell I was in
Making all of my wishes come true
CHORUS
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pretty cheesy isn't it??!!!
...Kevin.

Don't know the name-I think it's the theme song from a television show
from the early 80's(late70's?) called "The Greatest American Hero"??
Chorus lyrics:
Believe it or not I'm walkin on air; I never thought I could feel so free.
Flyin away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be-
believe it or not it's just me.
I will try to post the lyrics to George's message if I get a chance to
watch my tape and write it down verbatim.

I totally forgot that Jason Alexander is a broadway singer/actor.
That makes it even funnier the way he sang the song on the machine!
He probably could have sung it better than Joey Scarbury!
Note! All the exclamation points! I am excited! This is funny
stuff!

years back, if you remember, Jason did a TV-movie musical version of
Bye, Bye Birdie...he also did a tribute to television theme songs at the
Emmy's two years ago where he went through a five minute song/dance
medley of popular themes...

It was the theme song from "The Greatest American Hero." an old tv show
"Believe it or not I'm walkin' on air..."
Janine Rae Rothrock
I believe it was the song was the theme music to a television show that was on many
years ago called "The Greatest American Hero." I don't know the exact title of the
song, but it originally went something like "Believe it or not I'm walking on air, I
never thought I could be so freee eeee eeee...(some other lyrics I can't recall)
Believe it or not it's just meeeee."
Tobias Brick
The chorus to that song goes "Believe it or not I'm walking on air, I
never thought I could feel so freee eeee eeee, flying away on a wing a
prayer, who could it be, believe it or not it's just meeeee." You can
find the lyrics to this an many other old TV theme songs (The Dukes of
Hazard and Three's Company for instance) at:

Thought you all might want to know.
