Flipper!!!

[duckbill]

After patiently waiting, emailing, and checking Amazon, the original Flipper series is FINALLY coming out on DVD! The first season is slated to hit the stands next month, with a discounted, pre-sale price on now! If you love vintage diving and/or Florida (I LOVE both!), then this is a great series the whole family can enjoy. What fun! Can't wait!

If anyone can't wait for the DVD version, here's a page dedicated to the theme tune. It plays an instrumental version when you access it:

So much for the melody. Here are the immortal lyrics:

Ev'ry one loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he.
Tricks he will do when children appear,
and how they laugh when he's near.

They call him Flipper, Flipper faster than lightning.
No one you see
Is smarter than he.
And we know Flipper lives in a world full of wonder,
lying there under,
under the sea.
