Ward had an abiding interest in 30s style music, and probably had a whale of a time seeing that this piece was done up in this manner. I had a soundtrack 45 with this piece. It was also included on a recent CD anthology set. It was fun to see the original end titles of the series again.

I also had an LP with various stuff from the show, but my dad made me give away a bunch of my records. Now that I'm an adult and it would have been considered a collectible, he still hasn't lived that down!

He probably wakes up every morning singing the theme to The Wonderful World of Color. I vaguely remember the episode with Jonathan Winters. In the beginning of the episode he held onto Snow White for good luck or something before he pulled the lever. I also remembered the characters dancing around a maypole before an alien shows up. Jonathan, in his old lady costume, plays one of the UFO witnesses.
