#1
"Time to Change" from The Brady Bunch (1972)
SONG.
Nobody did it like those Bradies. This ear-shattering number brings all of the Bradys together in a last-ditch effort to save their budding singing careers (The Brady 6...you clever writers, you) when "Peter" (Christopher Knight) goes through a catastrophic voice change mid-recording. Rather than ice him out of the group—and in reality, Knight was the #1 teen pinup and #1 draw when the actors went on tour, so that would've been pretty dumb—ringleader "Greg" (Barry Williams) saves the day by proposing they instead embrace Peter's little problem.
Of course, the real CHOICE LYRIC:
"Time to chAAAnge."
But I am also partial to the Mom-this-makes-me-feel-funny-inside CHOICE LYRIC:
"For every boy's a man inside
A girl's a woman, too
And if you wanna reach your destiny
Here's what you've got to do."
As far as the performance itself, seeing "Cindy" (Susan Olsen) all tarted up in white go-go boots and watching as almost all of them sing wildly out-of-sync with the music (was "Bobby"/Mike Lookinland on meds?) made this song as unforgettable visually as it is unforgettable aurally.
