I Dream of Jeannie's Diner

Do you love I Dream of Jeannie and Suzanne Vega? Who doesn't?! Yesterday the infectious tune used in Nick at Nite promos in the '90s kept rolling through my head -- you know, the one where they wrote a song about I Dream of Jeannie and did it to the tune of Vega's "Tom's Diner." And it's on YouTube! Get out your harem pants, 'cause here it is:



Check out the lyrics:

I am sitting on the sofa, there's a TV in the corner
I am watching Major Nelson, he is played by Larry Hagman (Jeannie!)
And he found a little bottle, and out popped Barbara Eden
But she couldn't show her belly button, all she did was blink

(Dr. Bellows: Uh, Good Evening Major Nelson)
Tony Nelson works at NASA with suspicious Dr. Bellows
And there's also Roger Healy, who would become Howard Borden (Jeannie!)
And Jeannie always means well, but they get in wacky trouble
She folds her arms and blinks her eyes, it's kind of like Bewitched

(Jeannie!)
(Jeannie! Jeannie!)
(Yes, master!)

Oh the reruns will continue on the TV as I'm watching
The pink smoke of her bottle
I am dreaming of Jeannie
(Jeannie!)
