"May each day of the week be a good day,
May the Lord al - ways watch over you,
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes,
And may all of your wishes come true.

Goodnight!"

Andy Williams.

Were there many others?

"Bring me sunshine in your smile
Give me laughter all the while"

Did Mike Yarwood have one? You know, after he said "And this is me..."

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Friday, 20 January 2006 12:06 (twenty years ago)

I'm so glad we had this time together
Just to have a laugh or sing a song
Seems we just get started and before you know it
Comes the time we have to say, 'so long'.

-Carol Burnett

"Said to the bartender "Best night I ever had"
Sang to the bar
Had a microphone in(to) her heart

I said -
Goodbye madam
I'd had a bird in hand

I said - I'm doing good
And put love in her heart"

A too too, a too too too mad had-uh

I don't know how famous it was, but I always loved the closing theme to the Porky Pig Show on ABC:

""Sadly now we sing again, to each and every one.
Gladly we'll come back,and then, we'll all have more fun!
Watching Porky and his friends, wish it never had to end.
Don't forget next time we meet, we're plannin' something big.
Just be sure to join us then for Porky Pig!"

That lite-jazz bit from Taxi as the cars go across the bridge. Wholly to blame (respect) for the Beastie Boys instrumentals on Ill Communication.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 20 January 2006 15:22 (twenty years ago)

oh baby I hear the blues a-callin'
tossed salad and scrambled eggs
mercy
and maybe I seem a bit confused
well, maybe
but I got you pegged
haHA
but I don't know what to do
'bout those tossed salad and scrambled eggs...
...they're calling again
GOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY!!

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Oh yes, can somebody explain that lyric to me while we're at it?

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

The Sweeney, The Sweeney, la lalala laa la lala la!

God I hate that Frazier song.

― ledge (ledge), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:37 (twenty years ago)

Ah but sometimes, if it had been an espeically thoughtful or tragic sort of episode, The Sweeney would finish with a slower, more melancholy version of the ta-da-da ta-da-da tune

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:39 (twenty years ago)

So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Wasn't that for every episode? Anyway the sung version was only from a sketch on the Friday/Saturday Night Armistice, with an operatic tenor doing the duty.

xpost - God I hate that fucking handbags song too. Her poor old sweaty Grandad! Jesus.

― ledge (ledge), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:44 (twenty years ago)

xpost it always finished like that. (The Sweeney, that is)

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:44 (twenty years ago)

Did it? With that sequence of moody stills of Carter and Regan and Haskins, pulling on their coats and leaving the office?

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:46 (twenty years ago)

mr rogers had that ending song when he was changing back into his outside shoes.

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Friday, 20 January 2006 16:50 (twenty years ago)

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

We build our world together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong?

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we'd known
'Til I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

On the inside the roses grow
They don't mind the stoney ground
But the roses here are prisoners too
When morning comes around

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 20 January 2006 17:05 (twenty years ago)

Now is the time to say goodbye (Goodbye!)
Now is the time to yieeeeeld a sigh (Yield it, yield it!)
Now is the time to wend our waaaayeeee
Till we meet again
Some sunny day

― beanz (beanz), Friday, 20 January 2006 17:13 (twenty years ago)

The piano music at the end of The Incredible Hulk.

A tear to my eye.

Canadians born before 1980 will probably remember the closing themes from Wayne & Shuster and Circle Square. The former featured W&S singing goodbye in various languages, whereas the latter is permanently engraved in my memory:

Circle Square wants to hear from you
So write us a letter
Here's our address
2121 Station F
Toronto, Ontario
M4Y 2N9

Apologies to those who now have this stuck in their heads.

― Kent Burt (lingereffect), Saturday, 21 January 2006 15:41 (twenty years ago)

M, I, C
See you real soon!
K, E, Y
Why? Because we like you!
M, O, U, S, E

"Well I see by the clock on the wall. That it's time to bid you one and all.
Goodbye (Goodbye) So long (So long) Farewell (Farewell) Adieu (Adieu)
Be good (Stay Well) Bye Bye (Keep Warm) Relax (And Eat) Take Care (Stay Loose)
Adieu mon vieux. A la prochaine. Goodbye 'til when we meet again!"

― Nick Holmes (nother), Saturday, 21 January 2006 16:07 (twenty years ago)

"Just looking out of the window
Watching the asphalt floor
Thinking how it all looks hand me down...
Keeping your head above water
Making a way when you can
(...)
If we're lucky we got 'em...
GOOD TIIIIIIIIIIIMES! yeaaaaahhhhhh....."
