couchpotatotheatre's video: PARMA

Tribute video for my friend Tom Cote at: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTomCoteShow ‪ #‎FSAC‬ Parma is a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States. It is part of the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Area and borders the city of Cleveland. This city has a population of 81,601 as of the 2010 census, making it the seventh largest city in the state of Ohio and the second largest city in Cuyahoga County, behind only Cleveland (396,815). Occasionally, during the 1960s and 1970s, Parma was the target of light-hearted jabs by local movie show hosts Ghoulardi, Big Chuck & Little John, and The Ghoul, due to its central European and, most specifically, Polish, make-up. Ghoulardi, the horror host of late night Shock Theater at WJW-TV, Channel 8, in Cleveland, Ohio from January 13, 1963 through December 16, 1966, made a series of shorts called "Parma Place" and focused on an alleged love of white socks, pink flamingos, chrome balls, kielbasa, pierogi and the polka. The Drew Carey Show's opening credits of its first season consisted of a caricature of Drew Carey — consisting of his face and a yellow tie — singing the Robert McGuire-penned "Moon Over Parma". The song was trimmed for the opening sequence, and the reference to Eastlake in the line "Guide her to Eastlake underneath your silvery light" was changed to a reference to Cleveland to stay in theme with the show. MOON OVER PARMA LYRICS Moon over Parma bring my love to me tonight. Guide her to Eastlake, underneath your silvery light. We met in Ashtabula, she was doing the hula. I landed her in my radishes and pledged my love that night. Moon over Parma, won't you bring my love to me? Shine on the freeway and guide her AMC. Get her past those radar Mounties, bring her to Lake County, Moon over Parma, tonight. Moon over Parma shine on I-271. We can get together in the warm light of the sun. I'm askin' you don't fail. Get her safely through Linndale, I can't go to Parma cause my Edsel will not run. Moon over Parma, where those pink flamingos stand. I need her kisses and the soft touch of her hand. We're goin bowlin, so don't lose her in Solon. Moon over Parma, tonight. I said tonight. All music in this video by Jason Shaw of http://audionautix.com/
