Geocache Description:

This is another cache in the "Musically Yours" series. It is a small container hidden in an obvious spot. It just isn't at the posted coordinates.

Maybe I am just having one of those nostagia moments but do you remember when television shows had theme songs? Not only that but they had theme songs that you could really get behind and even sing along. Can you remember such lyrics as:
"Love - exciting and new. Come aboard, we're expecting you..."?
Or how about
"Hey baby I hear the blues calling Tossed salad and scrambled eggs"?
Or have you ever found yourself whistling the tune to The Andy Griffith Show. Let’s set the “wayback machine” to the time when tv shows had those types of themes. Who knows maybe you will even be singing them to yourself on the way to this cache?

You will need to answer each of the following questions to determine the corresponding values. Your final coordinates should be N 38*3A.BCD by W 076*3F.GH0. And yes that is a ZERO at the end.

So here goes:

A = the number of times the word "wondered" appears in the lyrics of the theme song for the popular radio station in Ohio.

B = the number that corresponds to the "fiance' that didn't show" in the theme song for the place "Where everyone knows your name."

C = how long was that tour on the S.S. Minnow supposed to be?

D = the number corresponding to its place in the alphabet for the last letter in the title of tv show with the theme "Suicide is Painless."

F = the number of versions of the theme song for "The Brady Bunch." (hint - there was a new one for each season it was on the air.)

G = Queen sang the theme song to the tv adaption of the movie that proclaimed "There can be only _____."

H = the number of letters in the first word of the title of the tv show with "As Long as We Got Each Other" as a theme.

Now please remember that sometimes a theme song is cut short for air time so a little research may be necessary.

And while you do NOT have to - maybe you can include in your online log your favorite tv theme song! Just for fun.
