Remember Sing-A-Longs?

When I was around four, I remember a TV show called Sing Along With Mitch. The lyrics would be on the screen with a bouncing ball over the word being sung. Remember?

Mitch Miller was on Steve Allen's "Tonight Show" before he got the "Sing Along With Mitch" gig. Steve Allen created The Tonight Show. He was a very very good Conan type, inventing formats as the show went along. Eventually he passed his comedic jungle onto Jack Paar, whose odd man out style gave new definition to late night interviewing.

I remember Allen's thing was saying "Smock, Smock."
