As a kid, I suffered a lot from seizures and this particular song gave me them. I still squirm hearing the theme to Welcome Back Kotter. :lol:

Is this an early APRIL FOOL'S JOKE? :lol: Brian...you have me :rofl:

Seriously, the singer's voice makes me cringe! Welllllllllcome Baaaaaack...

I said this before one time and let me say it again, when I was in junior high when WBK debuted, my classmates and I thought the singer of the theme song was WASHINGTON!!!! :lol: I swear, it sounded like him in certain parts of the song. I was shocked as hell to find out the guy is white. :rofl: John Sebastian from the Lovin' Spoonful.

Well, I think the guy has a voice that turns people to stone. It is spooky.

Did you hear the song on the radio when it was made a single? I mean, they played THE HELL OUT OF THAT DAMN SONG!

No, I just remember as a kid sitting watching Kotter and remember my eyes rolling to the back of my head listening to that awful song.

The theme is definitely NOT the highlight of the show at all. There were a few things on that show that got on my last nerve.

Really? You didn't like the show?

Oh I loved the show, there were a few things though that I could have done without. John Travolta saved the show for me. ;) :kiss: I hated the constant referencing of Groucho Marx by Mr. Kotter. Mr. Kotter's wife, what was the point of her, she was hardly seen and she was sarcastic.

Is that where your Travolta love affair started? lol

Oh yes. I have been faithfully in love with that man ever since those days. :kiss: :grineyes: Others have come and gone, a crush here, a crush there, some other actors catch my eye and other parts of me ;) but overall, John is my man! :D

I'm sure his gyrating booty had nothing to do with that in Saturday Night Fever? :lol: ;)

THAT only intensified my seething hot passion for him. :faint: :kiss: :lol: I am so glad I have the movie on DVD. ;) A man who can move and shake his booty like that, has to be definitely a great lover. :grineyes:

Damn, we really could use some more R-rated smileys around here. :lol:

:lol: I liked the show myself, I just needed to tune in AFTEr the opening credits. :lol:

Yeah, I hear that. :lol:

I would've rather they had John Travolta sing the dang theme song instead.

:rofl: GOOD IDEA!!!! I am with you on that!

:rofl: GOOD IDEA!!!! I am with you on that!


Travolta could sing too!

"Gonna let her in...mmmmmmm" :lol: C'mere John, I will let you in. :grineyes:

Somehow, I doubt the actor playing Beau had the moves that Johnny Boy had.

I just imagined him doing the Saturday Night Fever moves...:eek:

I really liked that song, I wish I could get a copy of the original song.

You can download it or get it on some compilation CD.

"Welcome Back" is one of my favorite theme songs. :D It's the only song by John Sebastian that I actually like though and I couldn't stand Lovin' Spoonful. Do You Believe in Magic? Hell no! puke:

Yea I always liked the theme for WBK too. I remember hearing it on the radio and I even taped it on my 8 track recorder back then. :lol:

I am not a fan of the Lovin' Spoonful one bit.

I always thought it was sung by James Taylor....they really sound alike.

Really Brian? I don't want to hear the theme song to find that out though. :lol:

Your dreams were your ticket out . . .

In Korea they didn't allow theme songs.

Theyve been using it for commercials for when the Thursday shows a week for Thursday on NBC

And Summer in the City is one of the greatest 60s songs ever, Cactus Jack thinks this too.

Anyways, Justin and Irene, BE EXTREMELY GLAD you didnt say you didnt like the Lovin' Spoonful in 2003 :lol:

I never had a problem with the theme song...it's not my favorite, but it never bothered me. :D
