Like many of you out there, 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon meant one
thing and one thing only: you were probably parked in front of your TV
set, anxiously anticipating when the Saturday Afternoon movie was about
to start. for me and many others in NYC, it was on WNYW, Channel 5. It
would be years later before I realized this was nationwide. But it was
a treasured part of my childhood, as important as G.I.Joes and coloring
books. It was EVERYTHING to catch that next flick, almost a religious
experience if you will that began with this...
How could you NOT be amped with something like that? It got you keyed
up for whatever flicks were to come on. Wasn't until later that I found
out the music cue was actually from 'Grease'. That theme will forever
be linked to 3 P.M. on a Saturday for me. And I'm glad other websites
like DVDDriveIn and folks on Youtube feel the same way. Even the GZA
had the theme music as a lead in to a track on his 'Pro Tools' album.
Ah, memories...
