Well have a gay old time

This is the opening song for the American animation series "The Flintstones"a working class Stone Age man's life with his family and friends. The main character is Fred, and then we have his wife Wilma, his next door neighbour and best friend Barney and his wife Betty.

The Flintstones are the portrait of a normal American family of the time living in a normal American city Bedrock. The trick is that the story is not happening in present America but in the Stone Age, so every modern device is recreated with stones and animals, which results in a surprising and funny parody.

Meet the Flintstones.
