Perhaps A Gatesong ... IF You Can Find It
Perhaps A Gatesong ... IF You Can Find It
#1
In the early 1970s, ABC ran an educational children's TV show called Curiosity Shop (Chuck Jones was the executive producer). There's a song on one episode that runs through my head every now and then, and while I can't recall most of the lyrics, and can't find them or a recording anywhere, what I remember of the opening lines strikes me as having gatesong potential:
"I can tell that you're a dreamer,
Just the same as I,
By the stardust on your coat
And the rainbow in your eye.
So I'll tell you a little secret
If you'll handle it with care:
I've got magic pink pajamas
That take me anywhere." (Italics mine)
Of course, this will have the side of effect of turning whatever he's wearing when he activates the song into pink flannel pajamas, and if he goes through the gate, it'll stay pink flannel pajamas until he wakes up. Which should produce an interesting wrinkle to the first impression he makes on the locals....

Oh, wow, I remember Curiosity Shop -- but only just barely...

Hmmm... let me just hop over to... http://www.televisiontunes.com/Curiosity_Shop.html]#]here. No, that doesn't match your lyrics at all, but I know I heard Mel Blanc in there for a moment, so maybe it's a different season?

As for the effect... Heh. Yeah, that's embarrassing enough.
