Meet the Flintstones (The Flintstones Theme)

Crazy Sam's "Meet the Flintstones" (The Flintstones Theme)
(Recommended by Harriet)


Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) The song promises that, "When you're with the Flintstones, you'll have a yabba-dabba-doo time." So clearly Wilma was one accomplished hostess. What about you? Do you enjoy having company?
I enjoy giving dinner parties, but I hate cleaning before and after the party.

2) Since lyrics say, "Let's ride with the family down the street/courtesy of Fred's two feet," we're assuming the pedal-powered Flintstone car didn't require much gas. Are you loyal to a particular brand of gas? Or do you fill up with whatever is nearby, or least expensive?
I go with the least expensive, except for Mobile gas. I don’t like their company.

3) Clearly a sharp-dressed man in stone-age Bedrock wore a long tunic and no pants. What are you wearing right now, as you answer these questions?
A denim skirt and a print short sleeve blouse.

4) Pebbles Flintstone grew up with Dino the Dinosaur and Baby Puss the Saber-Tooth Cat. Did you have any pets as you were growing up?
Yes a dog, but when he was killed by a raccoon it hit me hard and I never had another pet.

5) Mr. Slate is Fred's blustery boss at quarry, and he frequently threatens to fire Fred. Have you ever had a bad-tempered boss?
Oh yes!

6) It's estimated that during The Flintstones original run (1960-1966), it was viewed by as many adults as kids. Now that you're a grown up, do you still watch cartoons?
Nope, but I would watch Rocky & Bullwinkle if it was on. (Hmm… I just see that it is on Amazon Prime)

7) In 1961, The Flintstones was nominated for a Prime Time Emmy Award as Outstanding Comedy Series. Do you watch awards shows?
Nope, boring…

8) There are at least two Flintstones-themed amusement parks currently in operation. Do you enjoy scary rides?
I don’t like rides period. Those sharp turns throw out my back.

9) Flintstones Vitamins are still on store shelves. Do you take a vitamin each morning?
Nope, was of money. They sell you 10 cents worth of chemicals to you for $10

  4. And of course, the rest of us cleening before & after a party is a f&*<ing blast...

  5. I was wondering about the dog and raccoon too, but I see your response. How sad. We have an occasional raccoon in our yard. I'll have to watch out for my pups! I used to like Rocky and Bullwinkle too.
