Monday, May 5, 2014
Ahead on Ozarks, we bid farewell to the Arkansas Honor Flight program. Also, the music of Joyce Green in latest installment of Arkansongs, Roby Brock has his weekly business and political news update, and more.
Here are the ten clips (and eleven threes) included in our montage this week: 1. Bob Dorough sings Three is a Magic Number. 2. Larry, Curly and Moe in trouble in A Plumbing We Will Go. 3. Al Pacino utters the most memorable line from Godfather III. 4. The Three Degrees’ biggest hit, When Will I See You Again. 5. Kendall Trainor gives Arkansas a win with his field goal (worth 3 points) in the 1985 Holiday Bowl. 6. An early 1980s jingle for Three Musketeers candy bar. 7. Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase as the likeable, but slow-witted, Three Amigos. 8. The Oscar-winning song It’s Hard to Be a Pimp by Three Six Mafia. 9. Speaking of Oscar, the opening comments from Three Faces of Eve, an Oscar-winner for Joanne Woodward. 10. DOUBLE THREE ALERT! The Three Tenors sing We Three Kings. Apologies to the little pigs, the bears and Goldilocks, Jan Stenerud, Babe Ruth and that band that sang that song in the 90s.
