I used to enjoy watch Rainbow with my mum when I was a young boy.

Loved watching this with my brother when he was very young. Looked everywhere for an episode (ie this one!) that had Curly and Sraight. Loved it and it always got repeated in each episode. Then 'they' took it out! So sad!

Hugh Portnoy, Fluff Joinson and Ted Richards of Telltale performing "Riding in My Car", a Woody Guthrie tune.

I like the riff used in the film with all the ford cars.

He was their drummer. He drums on the theme - next time you hear the theme, that's him.
