Green Acres Theme Song Of Substance

The Green Acres theme song belongs to the American Television series the Green Acres produced by FilmWays, Inc. The show was originally broadcast on CBS in between the 15th of September of 1965 to the 27th of April of 1971.

The Green Acres series, in which the Green Acres theme song is shown is basically about the dream of a well achieved and very learned lawyer, Oliver Wendell Douglas(played by Eddie Albert), to live in the countryside and be a farmer. His wife played by Eva Gabor as Lisa Douglas, is very glamorous and likes the sophisticated city life. She is reluctantly forced to shift to the countryside with her husband and lead a rural life in a dilapidated farm.

The lyrics of the Green Acres theme song goes as follows…Green acres is the place for me…Farm livin' is the life for me…Land spreadin' out so far and wide…Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside…New York is where I'd rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay…I just adore a penthouse view…Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue....The chores…...The stores…....Fresh air…Times Square…You are my wife…Good bye, city life. ..Green Acres we are there.

In the Green Acres theme song, the husband sings about how wonderful a farm life can be. He sings that the Green Acres farm is the right place for him and farm living should be his way of life. He loves the vast and open countryside and says that he prefers the countryside to Manhattan.

To that, in the Green Acres theme song, his wife sings that she would love staying back at New York rather than the countryside. She finds the smell of hay very allergic and she really admires a pent-house view. She sings that she loves her husband very much but she is finding a countryside life a big sacrifice, for her love. She craves for Park Avenue and sings that she misses the chores that she used to do and the stores that she used to frequent, the fresh air, and Times Square very much.

In the Green Acres theme song, the husband does not heed his wifes cravings and tells her that as she is his wife she should listen to him against her wish and follow his wishes. Then again he goes back into his adulation of the glory of the Green Acres.

The Green acres theme song implicates patriotism. An erudite and virtuous person tries to make sense of the materialistic madness that has caught over the urban population. He finds a close-to-nature life in the rural areas more peaceful and meaningful than the chaotic urban life. His wife on the other hand is just like any person loving the comforts of a materialistic city life. Well friends, dont you see a bit of both of them in us? And isnt their story a part of the story of every household??? Wikipedia
