Dick Van Dyke Show & "Jazz"

[JSngry]

...was there an episode where Rob & Laura did a version of "Mountain Greenery" in a semi-quasi-Jackie & Roy style?

Don't ask me how or why these things pop into my head, If I knew, I'd probably become very sad. But as always, thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure they did, but I can't remember the setting...

on the Alan Brady show?

at one of their parties?

in a flashback to their courting days?

?

I'm thinking it was at one of their parties. Can anybody confirm?

You know, I hate parties where people sing. You're sitting there minding your own business, doing whatever it is that you do at a party, and then all of a sudden there's this little rustle, the room falls quiet, and then somebody starts "performing". Well, what are you supposed to do? Sit there and smile at the "specialness" of the occasion, then politely applaud and offer unsolicited compliments, that's what you're supposed to do. I hate that shit. Get a gig, or call a rehearsal. Don't kill my party groove with your little "performance".

"Charm" is highly overrated, that's for sure.

I believe it was at a christmas party where there son did a song as well, so it must have been one of the later shows.

Somedays I can't remember my phone number, but this kind of crap seems to stick.

No dude, you grab your horn and start goin' Albert Ayler on their ass. And then when they get upset, just innocently say, "What?! I'm just jammin' with ya!"

Did you ever see Charlene Darling singing jazz on a summer TV show?

Reminds me of two college parties I went to/killed. the first was actually a pretty nice scene, good "accessories" were being consumed, dancing was going on, and pairings were being formed. That is, until, I slipped on Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome. Then it became apparent that innocent white folks could dance to EWF, Kool & the Gang, Ohio Players, all that shit, but not to P-Funk. Not even to "Flashlight". (at least not back then. Today's a differnt story. Kinda...) The beginning of a life's education, that was...

Then there was the "jazz party" a few years later where the sounds were all of the "Lab Band Approved For Your Protection" variety. I had just scored a new LP copy of Destination Out (then still in print!) and got it put on the turntable. Well, that party was over before Side One was.

I don't go to many parties any more. Guess I'm just no fun.

Reminds me of when I would go to parties (in the very early 80's) where they were playing stuff like Blondie, or Rush or whatnot, and as soon as I got a chance I would throw on More Songs About Buildings and Food, or an early Ramones album and EVERYBODY would start bumming out and whining. I thought that was accessible music (it's not as if I was putting on Captain Beefheart or the Velvet Underground for Godsake) but at that time the kids in my neck of the woods just hated that shit. It was both funny and depressing simultaneously.
