Pop culture blind spot o' mine: What's the source of that line in AL's intro, "...go back in time and mess with people's minds (YAY!)"?  It sounds kind of Simpsons-like but I can't place it.

HM to the Dan, though I like several other songs off Thrill better.

I've no clue either; I've googled the phrase and come up empty. The other clip they use in promos, the Indian guy saying "you are now the proud owner of a miniature time machine", is from the CBS sitcom Big Bang Theory.

BOS Neil, ready fo' da country.

I haven't been able to place it; not sure any of the rest of us have either. Sounds kinda Tom-Petty-like to me, but I don't think that's right.

BOS1 Neil Are You Ready For the Country? Time Fades Away isn't out on CD yet--wonder where AL got this?
Let's get right to it.

BOS Paul Lynde

another BOS Jimmy Cliff

ETA: the Paul Lynde clip came on while I was typing the previous post, with 34 seconds between them, and not one but two Paul Lynde votes in between.  That says something about our club, but I'm not sure what.

you know, I thought it was as such a great lyric at first, but the line between greatness and juvenile humor is only a Google Image Search away!  that's kind of my motto...  :)

From Wiki:

Quote
The series starred Lynde as Paul Simms, the father of a family that consisted of his wife Martha (Elizabeth Allen) and daughters Barbara (Jane Actman) and Sally (Pamelyn Ferdin). It also starred John Calvin as Barbara's husband, Howie, and Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara as Howie's parents. Critics perceived the show as derivative of All in the Family, then television's most-popular primetime program. For his role in the series, Lynde was nominated for a Best Actor Golden Globe.

Scheduled opposite the first half of the Top 30 hit The Carol Burnett Show on CBS and the Top 20 hit Adam-12 on NBC, the series garnered low ratings and was canceled after only one season (26 episodes). After the series ended, Lynde continued as center square on The Hollywood Squares until leaving the show in 1981.
