F9/11: What song was playing when * was on "Mission Accomplished" landing
ship? I just can't recall that song. It was so funny and so appropriate, but for some reason I just can't bring it up in my brain again. Anyone remember?

1. The theme to "Greatest American Hero"
a cheesy 70s TV series about a superhero.

3. Don't forget that the hero of the show . . .
was pretty much baffoon who had no idea how to do his "job".

2. It was the theme to "Greatest American Hero"
A TV show back in the early 80's. The theme itself was a hit on radio, too.

4. You're correct about the date — I wasn't...
I just looked it up on imdb.com — the date was 1981

11. Lyrics:
Title: "Believe It Or Not"
Written By: "Mike Post and Stephen Geyer"
Performed By: "Joey Scarbury"


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 eee eee.
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 ue ue.

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