That was so painful I couldn't even get through the whole thing. And I adore Robert Preston.
But thanks for posting it...I think.

Ah... I was transported back to 4th grade gym class. We had to exercise to it every day! Agony back then but a surprising bit of nostalgia to me now. Right up there with duck and cover.

Dear God, I remember this.
I'm just shocked that my Catholic elementary school had access . . .

There was a lot of pressure on schools to get kids in shape back then. I believe the Presidential Physical Fitness program was a requirement for all schools. I know the record was sent to all schools with those awful progress charts and sticker ribbons and stuff.
Funny thing is, I believe that on the whole childhood obesity wasn't as near as prevalent as it is today.

Give that chicken fat
Back to the chicken and
Don't be chicken again!
What does that even MEAN?!?
#11re: Do any of you Children of the 1960's remember this?
Posted: 5/31/08 at 1:17am
It means don't be afraid to eat chicken fat, throw it up, and give it back to a chicken... or you're just chicken.
THAT's what it means.
Gah.

Can you imagine a modern take on this? With Idina Menzel telling all the kids if they lose weight, they'll defy gravity... or something creepy like that.
Or better yet, a call for brushing your teeth and seeing your dentist regularly...
Defying cavities!!!

All I want to know is where the 'red rinse' fits in.
And, if you know what I'm talking about.

Okay, so I just asked my husband, "Did you ever hear Robert Preston singing 'Go, You Chicken Fat, Go!" and his response: "Oh yeah. They used to march us down to the gym every morning and play it. Then we would have to do everything he sings in the song."
EVERY DAY!!! No wonder the poor guy is traumatized! And all this time I was blaming it on his mother.

Does anyone remember the tablets they gave you to chew in school that stained any tarter on your teeth red so the whole class could know how well or poorly you brushed your teeth? One of my favorites, right up there with those movies they showed us about the "Dangers of the HOMOSEXUAL (insert dramatic echo here)"
Gotta love the sixties.

And they tasted AWFUL too.

Major schmaltz attack.
I'm was in kindergarten in the fall of 61 and don't remember that.
With all the obese kids now they should have 50 Cent and Green Day do a new version.

I remember the red tablets but not the p.e. thing. I mainly remember 1968 and King being shot. Of course, I grew up just outside of Memphis.

Posted: 5/31/08 at 10:10amI absolutely do NOT remember this (or the red tablets). I went to Catholic school where they didn't believe in healthy bodies. Healthy souls, yes. But healthy bodies? Nope.
