With apologies to John Denver:
“Wash with me, up and down,
All the way, and all around.
Wash your hands, and I will wash with you.”

Ah, thanks, Howard.
Based on the clues given, my leading contender would be “Listen to What the Man Said”. (They haven’t covered Wings yet, right?)
Or maybe they’ll be ironic and do Jessi Colter’s “I’m Not Lisa”.

I’m not sure I understand the premise of the title of this thread, Howard. What are we supposed to be guessing?
-
A bit of trivia (from Wikipedia, as usual):
“Keep on Dancing” is notable for the fact that it is actually one short recording repeated in order to stretch the record out to the length of the typical pop single of its day. The second part of the song (after the false fade, beginning with Gentrys drummer Larry Wall’s drum fill) is the same as the first.

Well, we talked a while back about some Beatle intros like “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “Ticket to Ride”. A couple more that come immediately to my mind are the Beach Boys’ “Fun Fun Fun” and the Monkees’ unheralded “While I Cry”.

Did you write those lyrics, Jung?
I probably would have thought it was “Hang on Snoopy” too, except I first heard it on a compilation album that had the song titles listed.

The dog is clearly not a CCR fan. As soon as he recognized the song, he started looking around for something more interesting to do.

Brilliant, Howard!

Is the Krofft puppet show you’re thinking of “D.C. Follies”, Jacki? If so, you’re the first person I’ve ever encountered who remembers it. Well-known politicians and entertainers in puppet form, hanging out together at a bar: hysterical!

I don’t want to come across as a Krofft know-it-all, Jacki, but Witchiepoo was played by Billie Hayes. Cass Elliot played Witchiepoo’s rival, Witch Hazel, in the Pufnstuf movie.
As I was checking Wikipedia to make sure of that, I read that Cass lived next door to Sid Krofft at the time.

Quite understandable and relatable. Perhaps you were thinking of the similarly trippy “Lidsville”, which ran from 1971-73?
-
I know you were “there”, Paul, but according to Wikipedia, The Banana Splits premiered in September 1968, and H.R. Pufnstuf in September 1969, just a year later.

I saw Peter Yarrow perform solo at a small local theater a couple of years ago. Just before launching into “Puff”, he asked about twenty audience members to join him on stage to sing it with him. People slowly filled in behind him, and then he turned around to give them some instructions. Suddenly his gaze fell on one particular guy, and he exclaimed “Holy s***! A person of color!”, and he walked over and gave him an embracing hug. That was the biggest laugh of the evening from a concert that was filled with smiles and love.
