In that order.

I remember that about Ebo Walker
"There is a time" is my favorite one too.

They are so many to name. But one which always brought a smile to my face was "Old Aunt Maria" as preformed by Ernest T Bass as he serenade Charlene Darling. I think I still recall the lyrics...

The scene began like this,

CHARLENE: Okay, Ernest T....Serenade away.
ERNEST T.: Awright, listen.......
    (He accompanies himself by slapping the large can.)

Old Aunt Maria, jump in the fi-ah,
Fire too hot, jump in the pot,
Pot to black, jump in the crack,
Crack to high, jump in the sky,
Sky to blue, jump in canoe,
Canoe too shallow, jump in the tallow,
Tallow too soft, jump in the loft,
Loft to rotten, jump in the cotton,
Cotton so white she stay there all night.

CHARLENE: That's good, Ernest T.
ERNEST T.: Wanna hear 'Eatin' Goober Peas'?

A true television moment which I will long remember.
