Where did George steal his phone message?

Simple question. Did anyone recognize what song George ripped off for his answering machine?

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

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!

That's right...Jason is a trained singer and dancer(tap!)...a couple 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..."

he got it off the "walking on air song" like believe it or not im walking on air.... if anyone gets the lyrics tell me...

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.

	The song was not written by Joey Scarbury.  He
	was the original singer.  The song was written
	by Mike Post and Stephen Geyer.

Do you mean the lyrics to the SONG, or the George lyrics? -John

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.

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.

TTFN

K.P.

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."

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: http://www.best.com/~namle/themes/themes.html

Thought you all might want to know.
