Memory Lane: ‘The Sons of Hercules’ Theme Song

Time to retreat back into the past!

Today’s ramble down Memory Lane has taken me to revisit The Sons of Hercules, an anthology of low-budget Italian movies chopped up to fit into a TV time slot. This was probably my favorite TV show of my early teens. It also provided decent jobs for a lot of underemployed body-builders, so don’t knock it.

You’ve just gotta love this theme music. Well, okay, you don’t have to. We aren’t all cut out to appreciate gems like Mole Men vs. the Son of Hercules. It takes a discerning palate. Like mine.

 

The Unforgettable Soupy Sales

Remember this guy? Soupy Sales, the legendary kids’ TV comic of the 1950s and 60s, was truly off the wall.

Here he is in 1993, recalling a live TV stunt he pulled in 1965 which got him kicked off the air–telling children to send him “those green pieces of paper” found in Mom’s pocketbook or Dad’s wallet.

So they did!

Soupy, you were one of a kind.
