Vintage TV: Serena Sings on Bewitched

Posted by Ocelopotamus on June 23rd, 2007 at 6:12 am

I don’t know why I get such a kick out of these little faux mod-psychedelic numbers from Bewitched, but I loved them as a kid and have enjoyed seeing them again on YouTube. Probably it’s because Liz is clearly having such a scenery-chewing great time performing them. And because they send the camp factor of an already campy show through the roof.

First, my favorite: Serena sings Boyce & Hart’s “I’ll Blow You a Kiss in the Wind,” from the Season 6 epsiode “Serena Stops the Show.” Video’s a little glitchy for some reason, but it’s still a good time.

 
… and here are Boyce and Hart doing the song themselves, from later in the same episode — after Serena has kidnapped, and of course, bewitched them.

 
Next up, Serena (pretending to be Samantha) does “The Iffin’ Song.” To the obvious delight of the Tates.

 
Bonus: You can listen to low-fi MP3s of both songs (and several others from the show) at the Harpies Bizarre site.

Bonus bonus: Bewitched pie fight!

    I LOOOVED “The Iffin’ Song!” They even used it as the closing theme of the episode. Serious shit back then…
