wrote 95% of their own tracks,rich caso guitar , jonny bowler d'bass were best of mates
who got roy to front them, then along came jimmy faye on drums.
all the boys hailed from the southampton area, and played alot on the rockin circuits
of those years,although they cut one album, they are for the most part still rockin..but in
other line ups.
ROY is still rockin' with THE BLACK KAT BOPPERS! a very good rockin band,whom i've had the pleasure of seein'. jonny is with the guana batz but now lives stateside,rich is
workin hard but jimmy has gone into obscurity, its such a shame because although these
boys were out n out rockin, they were loved by rockabillys,teds,psycho-billys,punks....
you name it! definately a "LIVE!" band!!!!
On And On
Get Smart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They've shattered the image
Convenience for the moment
On and on
and on and on and on
It slips away
Who's image is worse?
Controlling every movement
On and on
And on and on and on
And run away
No time to look back
Trapped in the past
Controlling all the destiny
On and on
and on and on and on
And fade away
You keep thinking
You keep acting
Keep on pretending
On and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on
These lyrics suggest a commentary on society's obsession with image, convenience, and control. The singer addresses someone whose eyes have "cracked," meaning they have become disillusioned, and the "image" they believed in has shattered. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for someone who has lost faith in society's constructed ideals and norms. The convenience that society offers is only for the moment, and it slips away quickly. The "place" is packed, suggesting that society is crowded with people trying to live up to the same facade. The singer questions whose image is worse, suggesting that everyone is trapped in a cycle of trying to control their image and the movements of those around them.
The repetition of "on and on" emphasizes the cyclical nature of the societal pressure to maintain control and image. The phrase "no time to look back" implies that society is too focused on the future, too busy trying to control their destiny, to reflect on the past and learn from it. The lyrics "trapped in the past, controlling all the destiny" suggest that humanity is doomed to keep repeating the same mistakes, unable to break free from the societal constructs that keep them trapped.
Lastly, the phrase "You keep thinking, You keep acting, Keep on pretending" suggests that society is stuck in a mindless cycle of thought and action, pretending that they are in control when, in fact, they are being controlled by societal constructs.

Max, 99 and Chief are undercover in an Indian reservation, there is a drum beating in the distance, and Max explains that the drumming is used by the Indians to communicate.
99 asks, "Can you tell us what the drumming is saying Max?"
Max: "No, but I can tell you something about the man playing the drum."
99: "What's that?"
Max: "He's got a great left hand!"

We boomers took this show for granted back in the day. Now we miss it. One of the greatest TV shows of all time if not the best!

Agreed 100%. But it's still not worth paying extra money to view it again. Not to me anyhow.

The best sitcom ever written in my opinion. Too bad it only had a 5 year run. Mel Brooks and Buck Henry are geniuses and the casting is perfect.

James Caan told a story about how Don Adams used to cheat at golf. He did it so much that James finally got really pissed off and grabbed Don, threw him to the ground and stuffed a golf ball in his mouth. Don took it out and said "remind me never to take you bowling." 😆
Andrew Murray
I can imagine Don just missing a hole-in-one with his "Missed it...by that much!" line.
