Hogan's Heroes – a comedy spy WW II TV series “Hogan's Heroes” was a comedy series in the US from 1965 to 1971. But it was a spy, espionage and sabotage show as well – with plenty of violence. It was based on a group of prisoners of war in World War II who were assigned to Stalag 13. On this show, spy missions rule! Decoding this show, we will show you why! Dan and Tom tunnel their way into this series by looking at the characters, the actors who played them, and many of their missions. And yes, “Hogan's Heroes” is a bit dated with some of its portrayal of Germans and women, but we still think it holds up today. We talk about the German roots of some of the key people involved with the series and what Werner Klemperer required of the show for him to take on the role of Colonel Klink. Klemperer was born in Germany and he had a specific demand. We also include clips from the show to highlight our points and bring fun to it as well. With the lunatics running the asylum, there are some classic lines in the series. Some Hogan's Heroes Influencers Some of the episodes we decode have ties to real-world events or other movies. For instance, did you listen to our episode THE HEROES OF TELEMARK-DECODED? Well, one of the “Hogan's Heroes” episodes had roots in the underlying mission portrayed in the movie THE HEROES OF TELEMARK. We tell you which one. Another episode of Hogan's Heroes had similarities to the 1946 Sherlock Holmes movie, DRESSED TO KILL. Other episodes paid homage to TV game shows that were popular at the time. And what did synthetic fuel have to do with the war and this series? So, take a listen to hear about these and many more fun facts about this comedy spy series. Tell us what you think Have you watched “Hogan's Heroes”? What did you think? Is it a spy series? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode.

For those of you who are older, you may remember the TV show “Hogan's Heroes.” It was a sitcom set in a World War II prisoner of war camp. Yes, a sitcom. While the Allied prisoners plotted and carried out many anti-Nazi activities, the main German soldier assigned to watch them — Sergeant Schultz — would occasionally stumble onto their activities.He didn't want to turn the prisoners in because they had become friends, but he didn't want to get in trouble with his superiors, especially Colonel Klink.So, he would mutter, “I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!”Then he would quickly disappear.Many people in our society today have taken that same approach. This is a public episode.

Lou Christie - Guardian Angels 12" Dance Mix (1981) Producer Ed O'Laughlin co-founded Next Plateau Records, which featured (and was kept afloat with sales by) early Salt 'N' Pepa. On the left is Curtis Sliwa. The 1981 CBS made-for-TV movie We're Fighting Back, featuring Bronx-born Ellen Barkin, was based on the Guardian Angels. Al Martino - Volare (Disco version) (1976) POACA know this song from multiple recordings and performances by Dean Martin, Conny Francis, Bobby Rydell, The Ames Brothers, Wayne Newton, Barry White, even David Bowie. And here it is in Disco form. From Wikipedia: Franco Migliacci (the composer) began working on the lyrics of the song in June 1957, inspired by two paintings by Marc Chagall. He had planned to go to the sea with Domenico Modugno, but while waiting for Modugno to show up, Migliacci started drinking wine and eventually fell asleep. He had vivid dreams, and when he woke up, he looked at the Chagall paintings (reproductions) on the wall. In "Le coq rouge" was a yellow man suspended in midair, while in "Le peintre et la modelle", half the painter's face was coloured blue. So he began penning a song about a man who dreams of painting himself blue, and being able to fly. Later that same night, Migliacci discussed his lyrics with Modugno, and for several days they worked on the song, tentatively entitled "Sogno in blu" ('Dream in blue'). In 2008, Modugno's widow, Franca Gandolfi, recalled that her husband, after a storm forced open his window, had the idea of modifying the chorus of the song, introducing the word "Volare," which is now the popular title of the song. Blondie - Once I Had A Love (Heart Of Glass) (1978) The Lettermen - The Way You Look Tonight (Disco version) (1976) D. C. (David) LaRue - Do You Want The Real Thing (1978) Read about D. C. LaRue here. He was a dance artist through and through, but that could only take him so far. But I like his voice, the fact that he didn't (or couldn't) fill the songs with grace notes. Pet peeve, that. D. C. LaRue - Don't Keep It in the Shadows (feat. Lou Christie) (1977) This is basically a "You Should Be Dancin’" clone. I love the grunts at the end. Only some are mine. D. C. LaRue - Have A Good Time (feat. Rita Moreno) (1979) Like Michael Franks. A little. Bill Saluga - Dancin’ Johnson (1978) Exile – Heart and Soul (1981) Huge hit for Huey Lewis and the News. Didn't know it was a cover, did ya? Mike Chapman produced "Heart Of Glass" (the hit version you don't hear on this show) "The Tide Is High", "Sunday Girl", "Atomic" and "Rapture" for Blondie, the band of the early '80s. Chinn/Chapman wrote "Kiss You All Over" for this very same Exile, and too many credits to type out here. Free Design - Hurry Sundown (1968) Lou Christie - People (1978) This is a pretty good production for a song that isn't listed in Discogs, Wikipedia, etc. Lou says this was released as a single in 1978, attendant to the short-lived People TV show of the same year. if either of you can find a reference to it, let me know. There's a fin in it for ya. And if you can find the RECORD, so I can buy it, I'll do a "Rasputin" dance on Reels for you. Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan - Street Player (1978) Lou Christie and Pia Zadora - Don't Knock My Love (1980) Cover of Wilson Pickett's last Top 20 song, from 1971. What an odd choice of cover. I love Lou, but between him and Pia, they didn't possess any soul or chemistry whatsoever. Lou Christie - Clouds of Rock Roll On (?) I just know it was before his 2nd (and pretty needless) Greatest Hits album in 1994. Ah, record companies. Is there anything they can't make artists do? Ivan Dixon - Shoo Shoo Baby (1966) POACA recall a top-rated TV show from the '60s called Hogan's Heroes. It was a heart-warming (if somewhat flat) arc about a bunch of American POWs in Germany during WW2, constantly befuddling, bedeviling, and flummoxing the oblivious Colonel Klink and the lovable Sgt. Schultz, while American and Russian soldiers scythed their way through Europe, trying to close the circle in the city of Berlin in a seemingly endless Bacchanalian traveling parade of rape, destruction, desecration, and madness. And don't get me started on the Germans. Aaaaannnnnnyhow, this was from the album made by the cast, which included Richard Dawson (high on goofballs in this picture), who parlayed his place in that ensemble to star in Match Game '74 and Family Feud, but began his recording career in earnest by recording "Apples and Oranges." Ivan Dixon had an even smaller role, but his performance shines. By comparison. I...guess? Suggested by Dan Lewis. He LOVES Nazi silverware. And dolls. Lou Christie - Spanish Wine (1977) Stephen Tom Electronic Tape Experiment (1978) Stephen Tom produced groundbreaking electronic music during the post-war years until the late 1970s. He passed away practically ignored by his peers in 1984. Very little is known about him other than that he was a radio engineer during the blitz of London and that he freelanced for Benson Fairlight at his Little Venice studios producing jingles for radio + TV advertisements. A single reel of Tom's electronic experiments was found in a box of personal tapes belonging to the composer Cissy Wakefield. The Velvet Underground - Friends (1973) Blondie - Once I Had A Love (aka "The Disco Song") (1975) D. C. LaRue (with Lou Christie) - Into The Ozone (1980)
