Roger Ramjet's cohorts were Yank, Doodle, Dan and Dee. Roger's voice
was done by Gary Owens, best known as the announcer on "Laugh-in".
The song lyrics, as best I can remember them, go something like this :
Roger Ramjet, he's our hero, fighting for our freedom
flies through wind and outer space
not to join 'em but to beat 'em
Roger Ramjet, he's our man, hero of our nation
for his adventures just be sure and stay tuned to this station
When Roger takes his Proton Pill the crooks all start to worry
they can't escape their awful fate from Proton's mighty fury;
So come and join us all you kids for lots of fun and laughter
as Roger Ramjet and his men get all the crooks their after.
Rocket Robin Hood was done by Trillium Productions in Toronto, and was
essentially the whole Robin Hood thing done in "the astounding year 3000".
Featured were Robin, Friar Tuck, Little John, Maid Marian, Giles (the cook)
the evil Sheriff of N.O.T.T. (National Outerspace Terrestrial Territories)
and Prince John. Theme song follows :
Come gather around us, space travellers surround
Hark now to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood
We may well astound you, confound you, spellbound you
with heroes and villains the bad and the good.
Hark now as rockets all race from afar,
for now with our Robin we live on a star.
(there's another verse, if anyone's interested)
