Who remembers this show/song....from the 80's?

"Greatest American Hero"

I woke up to the song this morning on my alarm clock!

Link to intro to the show with the song.

"Believe it or Not"

Look at what’s happened to me,
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m up on top of the world,
It should’ve been somebody else.

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me.

It’s like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be? Believe it or not it’s just me.

I LOVED this show. Wish it could come back!

I had this song on a vinyl 45 single. Loved the show, too.

 

[Ariel Wanna-be]

I really liked that show, but could not stand the blond afro.

 

[Disney Ella]

I liked the show too. Too bad they don't show it in syndication, although I don't know if they made enough episodes for it to be syndicated.

This was my favorite song in the whole world! When it comes on the radio, my dad will call me and tell me it is on. Never really got into the show.

I love this song... my brothers and I will break out in song when someone says a phrase from it...

Thanks for the link.

I love that song!!

I always think of George from Seinfeld though because there was an episode where he used that song for his answering machine!

Yes, I remember the show and the song. Back then, just even hearing it would make it pop into my head and it wouldn't stop. I'd have to hear another song to stop it. Wait, now I hear it again......Thanks, I think...

My friend has the show on DVD.

 

[cardaway]

Loved the song and the show. I really liked the Bill Maxwell character.

Little piece of trivia - the same guy wrote and sang the theme song for Cheers.

I believe those two songs were his only hits.

His name in the show was Mr. Hinckley. When John Hinckley shot Reagan, they changed it to Mr. H.

 

[TurboKitty]

Believe it or not,
George isn't at home,
Please leave a message at the beeeeep.
I must be out or I'd pick up the phone,
Where could I be?
Believe it or not, I'm not home...

Loved the show and song also! First show I remember blending humor inot the superhero genre. Plus, Pippin *dreamy schoolgirl sigh*!!!

 

[beattyfamily]

I'm loving the trivia!

I may put the DVD on my Christmas list!

 

[kangareaux]

NO! NO! NO! NO! Now I'll have that song in my head ALL DAY! Good thing I like it!!! LOL!

My kids will think I'm nuts.....wait...theya lready think I'm nuts so maybe this'll confirm it for them.

 

[beattyfamily]

Hey, it's stuck in my head too so I thought I'd spread it around!

 

[minnieandme]

I never watched the show, but I do remember the song.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I now have that song in my head too, thankyouverymuch.

Who made up that rule anyway?
