Production notes

"Come with me, Come and see/All the wonders there will be/In my stories, in my songs,/And everything where fun belongs./We'll meet heroes, giants bold,/Visit lands both hot and cold,/Have magic tricks to shiver your skin,/Laughs galore with animals in/Our world of fun, Pied Piper House."

"Teletune" was a limited-animation segment of the half-hour children's show "Mr. Piper," hosted by opera singer Alan Crofoot in live action. Crofoot introduced each cartoon, which generally was a fantasy story.
