The Episode Should Be Put Into A Time Capsule!
"Scooba doo and scubba dabba, life's a gas, and life's a grabba.
"Hip is hip and groove is groovy, life's a wild Fellini movie.
"When that hairy fist of silence slugs us, bugs us, puts us down, we'll all wing it; we'll all sing it, Guy Lombardo's back in town!" (Cheers and applause)
"Boy, that guy sure cuts away the tinsel," marvels a bystander, next to Herman.
These incredible words of wisdom and insight are said by the beat poet reciting in the Munster home after "The Standells" entertained with two rock numbers. The group was having a party because they had rented the Munster home for the weekend for $1,500. They were in town for a concert and were looking for a "quiet mansion" outside of town.
Lily, the unofficial head of the family since Herman is a wuss, said okay to the deal. However, after one night the Munsters couldn't hack it at the Winston Hotel (nor could the hotel personnel) so they came back home, smack in the middle of this party full of "hip" people of the early to mid '60s. This episode was filmed in 1964 and aired in '65, I believe.
"Wow," says Grandpa, "I haven't seen so many good-looking people in one place since we closed down the mausoleum back home."
The Standells were actually a rock group from the early '60s - who look pretty straight compared to the rockers who followed just a few years later in the decade - and they play themselves in this TV show. Film director Zalman King plays the nameless bearded poet.
When the wild crowd asks to hear from "The Jolly Green Giant," Herman, with someone playing the bongos, ad-libs his own poetry, which is hilarious!
"Man, that cat is deep," is the response.
All of this, and a few more things, make this episode a real time capsule on the era and a very funny episode to enjoy.
