observations: I wonder who actually wrote the song "Moonlight Love" which was supposedly written by Leather. Also, the song "Surfin USA" is also heard. That's odd to me because the song wasn't a hit until 1963, & the gang split up when Rich went into the army in 1961. The tune "Do the Fonzie" leaves me dancing! Freddie & the Redhots..the singer is Fred Fox, one of the shows contributing writers. There must be about 50 extras in the background. I wonder if any of them later became famous. How did one get to be an extra on the show?

Marion: That's the 5th dance craze this month!

Joannie: no the twist is here to stay.

Howard: That reminds me the store needs a new paint shade!

Maybe Suzie Quatro wrote "Moonlight Love" (?) I knew that Fred Fox was the singer, because David77, I think told us in one of his post. Wouldn't it have been great to have been a extra on the show? They probably would have kicked me out though for staring at the cast.

according to the international happy days fansite it just says that the song was written FOR her, but says nothing about who wrote it - the episode where they went on the tv show and had that song stolen - "Stolen Melodies" Fred Fox junior (also a writer on the show) played Freddie of Freddie and the Red Hots - a great benefit to being a writer on the show i guess....

i think they just used friends, family and anyone hanging around as extras - there have been sooo many episodes where cast members' family has appeared on the show, its too hard to count
