SOUNDTRACK: THE MAGIC GARDEN (1970s).
When I was growing up in the 1970s one of my favorite shows was The Magic Garden. Even though I enjoyed Sesame Street and The Electric Company, Carole and Paula were my favorites. And it was the songs that were so memorable. Thanks to the Web, here’s four of their original songs, all of which I loved (although I understand the opening credits only ran on a few episodes). So, travel back in time to The Magic Garden: Opening Credits, Story Box, Goodbye Song and this Theme Song which I seem to remember most of all.
The one song I can never seem to find is one that was for Sherlock, the squirrel. There were lines like: Today is Monday…Monday peanuts…all you hungry squirrels we wish the same for you. I’ve had the melody in my head for what seems like decades now, but I can’t find the lyrics anywhere. Can anyone help out? Oh, and if you were a fan Carole and Paula have a website where you can get some stuff.
