So Doug Horne turned me on to this German Sci Fi show from 1966 The Starship Orion with Commander Cliff McLane & crew, When not out saving the Universe The crew would spend time at the "Starlight Casino" an officers mess for dancing & cocktails The sound track for the series is amazing, A mix of lounge & 60s TV themes
Check out an episode here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=9y7-qFpbA1E A clip with English subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulVBbtI5qNk&feature=related Check out the dancing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVg2zDWLqk4&feature=related The great Theme song from the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8RIV3xzffI [ Edited by: Atomic Tiki Punk 2012-03-06 01:56 ] |

Yes, I viewed that religiously as a kid. The Peter Thomas soundtrack intro is burned into my mind, here again, WITH subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AvjMHs7U7I Very exciting, but also very dorky, it was obviously a Starship Enterprise rip-off. It is still beyond me how they thought they could get away with building a common household hot iron into the set without anybody noticing :D :
The music, the design, and the costumes were really cool, but the coolest/dorkiest were definitely the dance scenes. I just know you want to see MORE futurist dancing!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znN0KJUd_0M&feature=related Grown men and women making fools of themselves with supposed futurist dance fads :lol: 30 years later, it was a house that looked like the Orion spaceship that was the connection that got the Book of Tiki published:
My friend Pete Moruzzi knew the architects who were renovating the Chemosphere house for Benedikt Taschen, and they gave him my proposal. The rest is (Tiki) history. :) German Sci-fi has some other gems, like this late 50s musical, with even worse dancing, but GREAT sets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MNznaalZTI&feature=youtu.be Watch it all, to see where she escapes to! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYT4qTkWWJA ...that apparently carried on well into the 70s: |

The soundtrack is great Lucas, One of the best I have heard in a long time. I bought the LP as a MP3 download. |
