...I sing it all the time...regardless of the fact that I don't know the words. Some day I'll stop being lazy and put it on my iPod. It'll beat Relient K for my most-played song.

It's just so catchy...

Random? You bet.

I miss the Facts of Life. Nick at Nite sucks because they stopped playing it.

Release this show on DVD now. I need some Facts Of Life.

I wanted to be Blair when I grew up. *hangs head in shame*

I used to watch the show...just to hear the theme song. I haven't heard it in years.

I think Over_The_Moon looks like Natalie from Facts of Life. She was my FAVORITE character.

I loved that show. Ms. Garret looked like one of the Gorgs from Fraggle Rock. Ah...I miss the 80s.

I always wanted to be Jo. The smartass in me I guess identified with her. Great now the song is in my head.

my all time favorite quote from the facts of life:

All the girls got permission to go to NYC to see a Broadway show and Tootie didnt get permission and told her parents:

"How am I suppose to be an actress if I cant even go to the Theatre?

LOL - BwayLeadman, I think I remember that episode...weren't the girls going to see "Sophisticated Ladies?" Tootie follows them into the city and ends up stranded in some diner and befriends a teenage hooker (maybe I'm mixing two episodes up)?

God help me...............

You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

There's a time you got to go and show
You're growin' now you know about
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

When the world never seems
to be livin up to your dreams
And suddenly you're finding out
the Facts of Life are all about you, you.

It takes a lot to get 'em right
When you're learning the Facts of Life. (learning the Facts of Life)
Learning the Facts of Life (learning the Facts of Life)
Learning the Facts of Life.

When the show aired on Nick at Night, about 6 years ago, I would always have the theme song stuck in my head from watching it. Eventually, I downloaded it from Napster, when Napster existed for no charge and the legal issues were just starting up. Oh maaaan...it's been so long. For Nick At Night's 20th anniversary celebration, they played the episode where Jo steals Mrs.Garrett's birthday gift. I tivo'd it...it's been so long. Man, I loved that show. I miss that and Different Strokes, very much...

Ah yes, Tootie *almost* being sucked into teenage prostitution by Tammy Lauren. Classic episode. Remember, girls, BE CAREFUL in NYC diners!! Even if all you're ordering is hot chocolate...THAT is where the pimps hang out!!

Anyone here remember the ORIGINAL version?
[Partially sung by Charlotte Rae and used only in the show's first season]:

There's a place you gotta go
For learning all you ought to know about
The Facts of Life
The Facts of Life

When the books are what you're there about
But looks is what you care about

The time is right to learn the Facts of Life

When the world never seems
To be living up to your dreams
It's time you started finding out
What everything is all about

When the boys you used to hate you date
I guess you best investigate
The Facts of Life
You gotta get 'em right
The Facts of Life

The Facts of Life...
