Who remembers Happy Days....

[demgurl]

and the song 'Pump, pump, pump pump your blood' episode? They have a commercial out right now and it has that song. Every time I hear it, it brings back that final exam episode where the professor accuses Pottsie of cheating.

Isn't it amazing what your brain retains?

1. Don't remember that episode.

But I do remember the strangest crap sometimes. I agree that it is amazing what your mind retains, especially when you can remember every detail of a show you watched as a kid, but can't seem to remember what you did with your keys!

2. Here you go...

FONZIE
Okay, like we rehearsed it...
Cunningham, harmonica. Malph, bones,
Lori Beth, kazoo. Jennifer, beaker.
The name of this tune is "Pump Your
Blood". Hit It. One, two, one, two, three ...

POTSIE GOES TO HEART ON DESK AND POINTS WITH HIS FINGER, SINGS.

POTSIE
"Pump, pump, pumps your blood.
The right atrium's where the process
begins,
Where the C02 blood enters the heart
Through the tricuspid valve to the right
ventricle
The pulmonary artery and lungs.
Once inside the lungs it dumps its carbon
dioxide
And picks up its oxygen supply
Then it's back to the heart through the
pulmonary vein
Through the atrium and left ventricle."

ALL JOIN ON CHORUS.

ALL

(SING) "Pump, pump, pumps your blood.

POTSIE
(SING) "The aortic valvels where the
blood leaves the heart
Then it's channeled to the rest of the bod
The arteries, arterioles, and capillaries
too
Bring the oxygenated blood to the cells
The tissues and the cells trade off waste and CO 2
Which is carried through the venules and
the veins
Through the larger vena cava to the
atrium and lungs And we're back to where we started in the heart.

ALL JOIN ON CHORUS.

ALL

(SING) "Pump, pump., pump, pumps your blood"

POTSIE
(TO PROFESSOR) Well?
PROFESSOR

What's this? The Zigfield Follies ... ? Weber, I apologize. I'm giving you an "A".

FONZIE PUTS HIS ARM AROUND THE PROFESSOR.
PROFESSOR
(CONT’D)
An 'A" plus.
POTSIE
One more time!

3. Well, guess I do remember that episode.

Just needed a little more details.

4. It is now a St.Joseph's Aspirin commercial!

5. What was WITH Happy Days anyway?

The Cunningham's older son disappears, and after a while, they stop even pretending that the show took place in the fifties. The retro hairstyles, the clothes, the slang, it just all went away. What was up with that? Laverne and Shirley did the same thing; now we're in the Fifties, now we're not. Sheesh!
