Is it possible that there dwells in Netland some fanatical supporter of
Jay Ward/Bill Scott cartoons who remembers the Super-Chicken Theme in its
entirety? How about Tom Slick? George of the Jungle? Anyone who can help me out
here will earn my undying gratitude, and will probably be rewarded in the
Afterlife to boot. Thanks.

I believe it was "Bella and Ursula", not "Fella and Ursula".
Sorry, don't know the unknown word.

> I believe it was "Bella and Ursula", not "Fella and Ursula". It was "Fella". This is a direct reference to the fact that George always referred to Ursula as "Fella", because he thought she was a man, didn't really know who she was or why she was living with him. A quote to demonstrate (not absolutely verbatim), from an episode where Ursula was kidnapped: APE: George, you must rescue Ursula! GEORGE: Who Ursula? APE: Your mate! GEORGE: You mean funny-lookin' fella who never shave? I recall another episode where George insisted on calling her Max. So who is "Bella" supposed to be? Ursula is Ursula; there was no one in the series called Bella. (That double image of Ursula during the theme song was merely a special effect: don't try and tell me that Ursula had a twin named Bella! There is no evidence for it anywhere in the series... although when it was first on TV I had a friend who insisted Ursula was twins simply on the basis of the theme sequence.) Therefore I submit that my version is more logically sound, and the word is "Fella". QED (I *did* say corrections would be subject to debate....) > Sorry, don't know the unknown word. DAMN! *SOMEONE* must! C'mon, where are you..... The Gray Mouser

The main thing that I remember about George was a scene that they continually showed while waiting for commercials. George is in a tree waiting to swing down and recuse Ape who is in jail. Ape takes out all kinds of measuring tools and says to George: Ape: A little to you left. Little to your right. O.K. Hold it! Now if my calculations are correct, 98.2. O.K. Swing George. George: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah (yells and swings) Ape: Or was it 98.6? Geroge crashes into a tree. Ape: Yes, 98.6. Those were the days! OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz

Anyway, to people who may be interested, a cassette tape of MUCHO Jay Way stuff is available from the Dudley Do-Right Emporium in the L.A. area (run by Mrs. Ward), also T-shirts, hats, coconuts, etc. The tape includes ALL theme songs (Super-Chicken, George, Tom Slick, Dudley, Mr. Peabody, Rocky & Bullwinkle) plus a lot of other stuff (Do-Right background tinkly piano music, various Rocky filler music, lotsa goofy music too). Costs about $12.95 for about 90 minutes worth. Merlyn Leroy "But that trick NEVER works!"

While we're on this subject, can anyone tell me the name of the ape
in George of the Jungle? One person's posting of the song said it
was "ape" but another person's posting had slightly different lyrics
that didn't give a name.
