If you mean George's actual song check telephones on my web page but I assume you mean the original music and words below:

Scarbury Joey The Greatest American Hero (Tv Series)

Believe It Or Not ============= Look at what's happened to me-, I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, It should've been somebody else.

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.

It's like a light of a new day-, It came from out of the blue. Breaking me out of the spell I was in, Making all of my wishes come true-.

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. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me

Good pages. I'm wondering, however, why you list returning cans to Michigan as crimes Kramer and Newman committed. Is it against Michigan law for out-of-staters to return cans within Michigan, or are you referring to the unlawful use of government property aspect of their enterprise?

Not trying to pick, I really am curious.

Is it against

I live in Ohio, and when I visited a friend in Michigan, I was surprised at how much a 12-pack of pop costs because of the tax that is added. This is the tax that you get back when you then cash in the cans at your local recycling center. So I would assume that at least technically, it would be illegal to cash a can in for that "extra" money that you didn't have to pay as a tax in the first place. How this could ever be actually enforced, however...

Thanks, And nitpicking is OK - that is part of the fun. I believe it IS illegal to return deposit cans from one state to another as you did not pay the deposit in the second state. Yep, interstate trafficking in fraud - a Federal offense - get the FBI - certainly worse than copping a feel in the White House. :-) Cheers Mike

   Just pulled that belief out of your ass, didn't you?
   Whether or not you PAY the deposit is immaterial.  The whole idea is to
    get the bottles and cans recycled. Anyone can return them.
