So I was switching channels on the TV this morning when I caught this show, Ben 10: Race Against Time. I believe it is a live action movie of a cartoon. But what I caught my eye was that the actor playing Grandpa Max looks a lot like Lee Majors.
After verifying with IMDB, I realised it was really him! Lee Majors, the star of the classic 70’s TV show, Six Million Dollar Man and the classic 80’s TV show, The Fall Guy. I especially love The Fall Guy, remembering running to the TV each time it was showing.
I also remember the theme song from the series, and a little Google turned up the lyrics.
Well, I’m not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I’ve been seen with Farrah.
I’m never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.
I’ve been on fire with Sally Field,
Gone fast with a girl named Bo,
But somehow they just don’t end up as mine.
It’s a death defyin’ life I lead,
I take my chances.
I die for a livin’ in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leadin’ ladies
Kiss some other guy while I’m bandagin’ my knee.
I might fall from a tall building,
I might roll a brand new car.
‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.
I never spend much time in school
But I taught ladies plenty.
It’s true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.
I’ve gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it’s only hay, Hey Hey.
I might jump an open drawbridge,
Or Tarzan from a vine.
‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.
While searching through the theme song, I found the website that had a huge MP3 collection of all the classic TV shows theme songs here.
