contest time
ok folks, for quite some time i’ve been trying to track down two pieces of music, and can find neither of them. i’m not quite yet in the realm of obsessed, but near enough…
so i’m offering a prize of a) a rather large quantity of sooper delicious vegan chocolate and b) a home-spun dance mix cd set to whomever can successfully lead me to the whereabouts of…
- a recording of the original theme music to the children’s television workshop. it was this funkified r&b flavored number, simple but such a part of my childhood. it came on after the sesame street theme. remember? it was the late 60’s and early 70’s. i was 3-7 years old. life was so different.
- the artist and title to the Smokey Robinson-sounding r&b song that the character Bo puts on in the sadly underrated Zus & Zo. it’s something like “Gimme Some Emotion” and it starts with lines about going to the five and dime and i can’t find out about it anywhere.
just post in the comments here, and if you get me the info, you get the goods.

Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you’d go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)
Chorus:
Oh little girl, in that case I don’t want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Intro Chords
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain’t got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules
Chorus
Jam on Verse and Chorus Chords (x2)
Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
Maybe you’d go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)
Chorus
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
You ain’t got the time to hang around
Maybe you think that love was made for fools
So it makes you wise to break the rules
Chorus
Well, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion… (to fade)

thanks, but no, it’s not “i second that emotion” it’s similar, but not the same song at all. check out that scene and you’ll know what i’m talking about. thanks!
