Zoobilee Zoo is the best 80's theme song EVER!


I was born in '78, and Zoobilee Zoo is one of my favorite 80's shows. To this day, the original theme song from Zoobilee Zoo gives me goosebumps as I begin to feel the overwhelming wave of nostalgia come over me every time I hear it. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I just a freak?

When I hear the theme song, or watch any of the 33 episodes I have, I suddenly remember all sorts of amazing things from my childhood that I wouldn't otherwise remember like my first day of school, my first crush...the smell of paste in the class room...all kinds of stuff.

There are lots of 80's shows that resonate with me, but Zoobilee Zoo takes the cake as #1 for nostalgia.

Am I alone here?

Gracious, no you're not alone!

I was born ten years after you, but Zoobilee Zoo was my favorite kids show nonetheless. To this day, it offers me much more than mere nostalgia. The episodes were so well-written that even at age 19 I can still laugh at the jokes and identify with each and every character for a different reason. There is no show like this one, and I love it dearly.

No matter what's going on, when I watch Zoobilee Zoo, I am a child again... and I am home.

You are not alone! I was born in 79 so I grew up with this show.. I can still here the theme song in my head.. It amazes me that there is not a bigger following for show!

I'm the same way with Pee-wee's Playhouse. As soon as the opening starts, it take me right back to the way I felt watching it as a kid.

I know you are, but what am I?
