Thanks for posting, this brought back SO many memories. I worked for several years in the Six Flags Over Texas Krofft theater before moving to the new World Of Sid & Marty Krofft park in Atlanta. Sid is still a close friends that I’ve known for around 50 years.
this sounds exactly like the character voices i heard at the Krofft Puppet Theater shows i saw at Six Flags in Arlington when i was a little boy. I remember all the celebrity look alike marionettes (with voices to match!) It was all very colorful and fast paced. I loved it. It was certainly like Nothing i'd ever seen before!
As I recall, the first Kroft show at SFOT started with a flying saucer landing and a "Hi kids! It's Lucy...Lucille Ball!" It had little or no talking in it. I especially remember the walls coming alive with shadow puppets of Lorna and Lena, the side show celebrities. It was all pretty much circus scenes with music. Fantastic costumes and lights.
Aside from just being on the same reel as the Okefenokee, Horror Cave, and Fiesta Train takes, the inclusion of such an overt Broadway-style musical number in this section leads me to believe that these takes were in fact intended for the Krofft Puppet Theater shows at Six Flags. The takes also don't seem to be suited to any particular Krofft TV special, and The World of Sid and Marty Krofft of course wouldn't have existed for another eight or nine years at the time of their recording circa late 1967 or early 1968.
All of the Puppet Theater shows were actually sponsored by the Coca-Cola company, and even then, it wouldn't exactly make sense for the terms "program" and "living color" to be used for a stage show.

Glad to help conjure up fun memories!

That Might Have Been The Inaugural Show At SFOG.

You're deff right!
I don't really have an explanation for the, "NBC brings you the following program in living color" takes, though.
@@okefenokee_rabbit That's what had me thinking of television!

@@okefenokee_rabbit Exactly! Well, hmm! Haha
This is amazing. Thank you
Is that Lennie Weinrib as the male voice actor?
Yup! Sure is!
He’s most infamously known as the voice of Scrappy-Doo!
@@reed14567 I also think Walker Edmiston is on this tape.
Where is this from? Or what attraction is this? Anyways, is there anymore outakes?
More than likely from the Krofft Puppet Theater shows at Six Flags! And unfortunately no, this is it! Would love it if more surfaced!
I also want to know if there is other recording sessions of other projects.
