What no "Facts Of Life"?

For fans of "The Price is Right" theme, Crystal Waters did a song a few years back called "Come On Down" which uses a speed up verison of the song (as well as the catch phrase) and makes this delightfully tracky club song. I've only heard a sample of it and it made me laugh.

Well, you don't know me, but I remember the show. Larry was McLean Stevenson from M.A.S.H., a widower with a couple of daughters, I believe. I just remember that Ruth Brown, a famous blues singer, played his neighbor in the apartment building.

I loved Hello Larry, I remember being sad when it got canned after like one or two seasons, right? Thanks for backing me up. For years I thought I had just imagined it or something.
