Welcome back to Name That Tune. Today we have something a bit unusual for you but I think youβre going to love the song. Itβs sure to bring back some delightful memories.
Here are the questions for today. Think outside the bog.
- Todayβs song was written in 1979 and is primarily associated with a long-running children’s television show.
- Our featured performer plays the banjo and looks as young today as he did when his show premiered in 1976. It must be his high-protein diet and water aerobics.
- This award winning song is loved by adults and children alike and tells the story of the singerβs driving urge for something more in life. The song was deemed βculturally, historically and aesthetically significantβ by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry. The singer also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
- The songβs name has been used by a number of charitable organizations wishing to evoke its message, including a childrenβs charity, a summer camp for seriously ill children and a horse-riding camp for people with disabilities.
- Todayβs mild-mannered performer has been in a long-term relationship with a rather flamboyant and domineering diva but it seems to work well for them. Heβs a real βprinceβ but sheβs been called a βPorcine Primadonnaβ by the paparazzi!
Can you guess the name of todayβs tune and the name of the performer? Think it over, then scroll down for the big reveal. You might be surprised.
