"Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah" from The Jetsons
(1962)
SONG.
This classy cartoon was ahead of its time in more ways than one. Just dig that crazy "Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah," the best Beatles send-up of the many done on '60s TV. What I love about it is the idea that they lyrics are futuristic gibberish, so even though the idea of doing a Beatles homage is firmly rooted in the then-present, the song still sounds really oddball and potentially spacey. Gotta love that the singer ("Jet Streamer"/Howard Morris)...a Milky Way cool cat!
CHOICE LYRIC:
"Epp opp ork ah-ah
That means I love you!"
