Just had a drink of water out of my Fonz mug.

This thread was either really bad timing or really good timing.

Blanton is not allowed to win at home and he knows this

However, he does need to keep his ERA low just to amuse the gods.

I have an entire song about that on K-Tel style album

that I bought in a JC Penny or somewhere in like 1976. It’s called “Fonzie’s Favorites” and features a many actual hit songs from the 50’s.

It also has a song entitled “IMPRESSIONIST TRACK: Aaaaay, Cool, Nerd, Sit On It”—and the part after the colon comprises the entirety of the song’s lyrics: just a (mediocre) Fonzi impersonator saying those phrases over and over again, with cheesy music and a few “la-las” sung in the background.

I will own it always.

There's another song called "The Fonz Song"

which involves the background singers (again) singing, “Do the Fonnnnnnnnzie! C’mon do the Fonzie with me!”

It’s just awesomely awful.

Oh my. I am listening to Dickie Goodman and Friends.

It plays clips of songs that answer several random narrations. “Fonz has been turned down by a girl. What are you gonna do, Fonz?” Cues music- Take a walk down lonely street to HeartbreakHotel. “Shirley- what are your thoughts about this situation?” Cues music- Why do fools fall in love.

It’s painfully addicting with an emphasis on the pain part.

Okay I'm back, and it's much worse than I'd remembered

I was right about “The Fonzie Song”. But “The Fonzarelli Slide” is a horrific proto-mashup with some talentless “impersonator” doing a bit where Fonzie meets the Sweathogs from “Welcome Back, Kotter” and tries to teach them to be cool—complete with 3rd rate impressions of Fonzie, Horshack, Eptsein, Mr. Kotter, and Barbarino. It’s almost impossible to believe that anyone recorded it, and impossible to believe that some producer went, “Okay, that’s good, we’ll put that on a record and release it!”

And, of course, when I was 8 or so I bought it.

I wish I could zap the song over that I'm listening to.

It’s got “musical quotes” from Laverne, Shirley and they go live from Richie Cunningham’s house too. What the hell was wrong with us back then?
