Charlie Brown: What do I do? No matter how hard I try, I fail.
Lucy: Don't be discouraged Charlie Brown. What you need to do is find an outlet for you to succeed.
Charlie Brown: But I told you; I keep failing!!
Lucy: Then maybe you should just give up. Life is unbearable and obscure. Five cents please!
There's not too many things on this earth more soothing and calming than some good smooth jazz! The jazz in the Charlie Brown cartoons are absolutely amazing! Brings back amazing childhood memories; thanks for sharing!
I got into a fight with an old GF over this song. She insisted that "Linus & Lucy" was "The Charlie Brown Theme". When she found out that THIS was "The Charlie Brown Theme", this was her response:
HER: "Vince Guaraldi was WRONG."
My response:
ME: "No, YOU were."
She threw me out and got someone else two days later.
Over a DAMN song.
GREAT song, though.
Great song, but it seems like it's missing a piece of it that I recall hearing from listening to the audio cassette way back when. It might have been from "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" audio cassette, but I'm not entirely sure.
I keep thinking of the end of It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, whenever I hear this. ...
Linus yelling...
The Great Pumpkin WILL APPEAR! JUST WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR, CHARLIE BROWN!!!
Charlie Brown sits there with an Oh, good grief look on his face.
This, of course, was heard during the "Christmas Play" rehearsal scenes in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" {LUCY: "What about the 'Christmas Queen'? Are you going to let ALL this beauty go to waste? You DO think I'm beautiful, don't you, Charlie Brown? You didn't answer right away! You had to think about it first, didn't you? If you REALLY thought I was beautiful, you would have spoken right up!! I know when I've been insulted!!! I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN INSULTED!!!!"/CHARLIE: "good grief....."}.
