In 1976, ABC's Record and Tape Division came up with the Captain Zoom Personalized Birthday Record. A two-minute song with 8 instances of the birthday boy or girl's name was recorded and mastered for a paper-thin flexible 7" record. It was sent in an envelope along with the lyrics to the song, a mini-coloring book, and an order form. In 1978, the Record and Tape Division was disbanded. Robert Stiller, a sales consultant who was involved with the project at ABC, bought the rights to the project and began distributing the record with his own company. Captain Zoom left a lasting impact on those who heard his little jingle.
And so, It used to say "Kim" and for the sake of honoring my Fresh, Fly 33 year old Self I have changed it to the new and improved identifier of choice for the fabulous birthday Me. Otherwise, it's just like my parents played on that flippy floppy record every day of my childhood.
Ladies and Gentleman, Heeeeeeeeere's Zoooooooom!
Space command to Zoom
All systems are go for your message to Kiki!
Hey, Kiki!
It's your birthday!
I'm in charge of the stars
And I'm here to say,
'cause Kiki,
You're the BIG STAR today!
My name is Zoom
And I live on the moon
But I came down to earth
Just to sing you this tune
Hey, Kiki,
It's your birthday today!
A present for you
I wanted to find
An outerspace creature
A one of a kind!
A wild whop or a kukelchoo,
An apple drop or a buzzardstew
Or maybe a 3-eyed tickleshay
For your birthday
Did you ask:
"uh, what's a kukelchoo?"
Well, up on the moon it's nothing new
But that won't do for you,
On your birthday!
I searched behind the clouds and stars
I even zoomed my bike to Mars
And met my friend the saucer man
And he said:
"Hey Zoom I got the bestest plan!
What your friend needs is something new,
So how about a song, just from YOU?"
And so tonight when you're in bed
I'll be singing to you as I zoom overhead
Singing, Kiki! Happy Birthday
Singing, Kiki! Happy Birthday
Singing, Kiki! Happy Birthday
To you!
Happy Birthday, Kiki!
See you next year!
