Original 45 single release on HBR 449 - Open Up Your Heart (Hamblen) by Pebbles & Bamm Bamm of The Flintstones
This was always one of my favorite Flintstone episodes.
Me too.
It's in my top 5 favorite episodes.
There's no song in the entire world that can top this!!!
I agree. After looking for it, I've now texted the link to all my nostalgic friends
Oh my God...how many remember this
I will always love this version. It’s my childhood song. Lol
This is the version of the song that everyone knows.
Grew up with The Flintstones, Got entire 60s series on DVD for the Grandkids and nephews and nieces to watch.
I never get tired of that song. Love it!!!
This is a great song.
Glad we are preserving these 60s songs
The song takes me back it's a great song and I wish they had more music just like that
I was a huge Flintstones fan and remember this episode like it was yesterday! Didn't know this song was on a 45. Spoiler alert: It was all a dream for Fred! Loved both the Flintstones and the Jetsons!
I didn't know it was a single, either; I liked it when I first heard it, but I can barely tolerate it now; it sounds like the Chipmunks. The Flintstones jumped the shark with the introduction of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, and seriously dropped in the ratings after that.
Same here...and your spoiler alert really made me LOL, I'd almost forgotten about this episode and that it was a dream!!
Season 6 Episode 1: No Biz Like Show Biz
VER memorable epsidoe, and In Autopsy of Jane Doe,tool
I still watch the flintstones every Sunday on Me tv…
It is important that this be preserved.
Love this song so spiritual 🎉🎉
Smiling in my ❤️! Happy memories 😊
Thank you for posting! We had this 45 when I was little.
This is a beautiful song I wish I could let the sun shine in
You can, you can!! 🥰
@@annickmcphail4254 And then he can face it with a grin! Just don't look directly at it!
Fun song. Great message.
Today this episode was on METV network. 14 August 2022
I remember after the Flintstones episode that premiered this song, they used it in the closing credits for a while!
In mid-season.
I remember seeing those credits on Boomerang back in the day.
If they ever sell this record at Walmart today, I guarantee I would buy it!!!
Some people can remember buying it back in 1965 at the local Woolworth's or K-Mart's.
So would I . I just love listening to it over and over again.
@@maureenmoore8139 Me too. It never gets old
I like the cowboy church Sunday school version too
Butter my flies this is the best way for me to express myself
Although this is my favourite version (from my childhood), I also like the version done by a family (dad, mum and two daughters) which I saw and heard some years ago. Well done on the upload.
Love
Around the time this record came out, a friend of mine sang a blue version of this song, and his version comes to mind every time I hear this song.
Hey it's Dino's 🤗 two favorite kids
25 yrs ago I played this on my Computer, and with some SoundBlaster Software, dropped the Pitch by about 3 steps and the actual Adult Voices were clear. The Music didn't change speed though. I wonder how they did the Pitch Change back in the 60s as Digital Recording really didn't exist back then
They simply recorded it at 33.3 rpm and played it back at 45. The same way they made Alvin & the Chipmunks recordings. It pitches up 2.5 steps so if you record it in C it'll playback in F
@@seethe42
When I ran the song through the Software, the Pitch of the music stayed the same, and the time it took to played never changed, so it wasn't just a speeding up the playback of the Recording,
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 I was speaking to how it was recorded using analog techniques. It WAS pitch shifted by recording it at 33.3 and playing at 45. That's just simple fact. The original was recorded at a lower pitch and speed. Your software pitch shifted, a full octave if it retained the same time and pitch. You stated that you dropped pitch by 3 steps then said the pitch was the same, so which was it?
@@seethe42
I had dropped the Pitch 3 steps, but the Length of the Recording remained the same. Only the Voices were slower, the Music didn't change.
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 Because your software changed the pitch. What don't you understand? The original recording WAS longer when played at it's recording speed. You set the parameter changes in the software. That has NOTHING to do with how the effect was created without any computers or digital devices needed. The music HAD to change pitch or it would have been out of tune. They recorded the song at 33 then pressed the record on a 45 single, so it was played at 45. So everyone heard the sped up version. Play it at 33 and you will hear what it sounded like when they recorded it.
I just found this on 45 about a few months ago
I have this rare cute 45
Good fun song I loved this on the Flintstones show yippee go pebbles an bam bam
(Very funny and Happy)
It was a rare find
There's no better version of this song.
Agreed, the original version was specific to the viewpoint of a little girl, but this version includes the view point of both genders!
Have a listen to the 4th movement of Beethoven’s 5th symphony. You’ll recognize the “hook”.
What does that have to do with this song?
That's definitely Bamm-Bamm on drums.
🤣🤣🤣
Pebbles is on the guitar.
Let The SON shine in...!
Wow...yes!
I remember this song I was trying to remember the words to it the other day. Thanks for posting. I wonder who did the actual singing of this song for the cartoon?
IDK, but it sounds like a version of he Chipmunks vari-speed technique
Ricky and Rebecca Page- mother and daughter.
Strange memory....my parents were so anti-religion, that when this episode came on and they heard this song, they got mad and changed the channel. I was not allowed to hear this song past the first few words. 😮sick, isn't it?
😌
The joy in this song upset the evil spirits in them
@@born4thstime Tru dat. ☮️
I'm glad you're out of there now and you get to listen to whatever you want. You deserve to be happy.
@@keeganstallard2740 😇🌻☮️thank you 🌠
Didn't Stuart Hamblin write this song? I remember hearing it on The Flintstones, but didn't remember it was made into a 45. Thanks for posy.
He did! His wife and kids first recorded it as "The Cowboy Church Sunday School" for Decca in 1954.
Now just a Rock Pickin' Minute!....
The Autopsy of Jane Doe brought me here
Whoops. I didn't see your description of the song. You already stated this was written by Stuart Hamblen. I didn't notice until now.
Curious as to the source of this. I compare to my version from Rhino CD "Modern Stone-Age Melodies", the one here has the vocals pushed further back than the CD. Nice to know if the post here is from an original 45.
I don't own the 45. This was a long-ago Usenet download simply labelled as 'mono,' but with no specific source mention. I see two visual 45 transfers elsewhere on UA-cam which sound (to my ears) similar to this one: ua-cam.com/video/RN1R2FOW1UQ/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/1KFFXPHnJ0s/v-deo.html
However, I also see another mono posting purported to be a clip from the actual TV show which does have the more upfront vocal (as does the stereo version I listened to).
@@the45prof98 Stereo version!? I've never heard a stereo mix. Is it on UA-cam? There is a crap fake stereo mix on here somewhere. thanks for reply. I found a few other 45 dubs and they match this one too, so seems the TV show mix is indeed different.
Dose anyone know where I can get a copy of " 1965 Pebbles and Bammbamm Open up your heart (and let the sun shine in)
You might find it on a Rhino Records CD release from the 1990's when they acquired the H-B musical library from Ted Turner. They issued a few H-B related CD's that feature some (if not all) of the old HBR tracks. The HBR library is now owned by Warner Brothers studios, except for certain tracks (such as The 5 Americans "I See The Light", The Tidal Waves' "Farmer John", and The Unrelated Segments "The Story Of My Life". Those songs are now owned by SVR and Sundazed Records respectively.)
I remember different lyrics from the TV show.
Mommies never lose and daddies never win.
Can't find any reference to those lyrics
I always thought that was what it was too!
Weird thing, The Softies' cover of Tallulah Gosh's "I Can't Get No Satisfaction (Thank God)," actually reminded me of this song, and it's far from far from an optimistic or Christian tune.
They actually produced a 45 of this?
Yes, it definitely does exist as a 45 from 1965 (as HBR #449.) It was HBR's ninth release on a 45. It didn't chart as a hit record, which is why you don't hear it on oldies radio or streaming. It was sold as a children's record. "Roses & Rainbows" by Danny Hutton was HBR's first chart hit on Billboard.
This song creeps me out!
Many kids were scared of this song used as brief closing credits at the end of some flintstones' 1965-1966 episodes just so they could hide from the newly unveiled Screen Gems "S From Hell" logo that concluded the episodes that season starting on September 13, 1965. (except for Canada, who still had the dancing sticks logo for another year.) As for me, I always thought this song was innocent & charming, and it probably involved pre-3 Dog Night Danny Hutton (on guitar) who had a number of songs made for HBR Records at the time, including three of his own (two issued under his real name, and one issued as a duo group with co-songwriter Larry Goldberg under the name of "The Bats".) Songwriter Stuart Hamblen switched from secular music ("I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake" was an early career song) to Sacred Gospel & Christian Hymns in 1949, which later inspired this song.
This song is a great song
@@jeffreyjohnsonsr360 I agree. The song is pleasant enough, and too many people put their fears in symbols they see in logos they can't (or won't) understand. I don't find the song creepy or scary at all.
@@robertorick6383 Did you ever see the Family Guy episode where the S from Hell gives Peter a heart attack?😮 funny but OMG. They used that logo at the end of The Monkees show too and i used to plug my ears and turn away when i knew it was coming. But I'm autism spectrum so i thought it was just me who hated it. Apparently everyone else did too, and there are other bad scary logos that have been around for years as well. Rankin-Bass was another one I hated....there are so many.
@@monkeytennis7477 I saw that "Family Guy" gag on UA-cam. I think it's a fan made gag rather than an actual "Family Guy" joke segment. Quentin Tarrentino is another fan of the "S From Hell" and used it as a scare/suspicion scene on "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood". Rodney Arscher's short 2011 documentary about Screen Gems is a farce done satirically about the children being frightened by the logo. I'm sure when Eric Siday composed the jingle, it was just another serious job for him. It's been said on another blog that Winston Sharples composed another Screen Gems "S" jingle (known to fans as the "Batfink" variant.) Frank DeVol composed the dancing sticks logo, and that one actually made me slightly nervous as a toddler rather than the "S From Hell", believe it or not. It's something you have to get used to on TV. As an adult, both logos are classics. The "S From Hell" logo showed up in everything from "The Partridge Family" to "Here Comes The Brides", and I got used to it. I must have seen it a thousand times since discovering TV as a toddler since 1968. One of the more ridiculous shows that I saw the "S" in was a flop on ABC called "The Ugliest Girl In Town" starring Peter Kasner as a quasi-Tiny Tim like cross-dressed model named "Timmie". I have bi-polar, not autism, but logos are so common on TV & the movies that they are more fascinating than scary. The Rankin-Bass logo from 1968-1982 was heartwarming to me, there was absolutely nothing scary about it. Every time I saw "A Year Without Santa Claus" or "Frosty The Snowman", I always expect it to be at the end of the credits, even when Warner Brothers or Classic Media plasters it (logo plasters bug me. It just symbolizes a change in media ownership by different corporations. For example, I do miss Screen Gems logos at the end of many Hanna-Barbera shows. Somehow, having the Warner Brothers "W-B" shield ending "The Flintstones" after Fred yells "Willlllmmmmaaaa!" doesn't seem the same after what I have grown up with since the 1960's.)
