The origin of Captain Jan and boy Dean is a story which will live forever in the hearts of young America
[DEAN]
Holy screamers!
[NARRATOR]
Of course you remember one night in the late hours at a secluded recording session, in one of Hollywood's finer recording studios -
[Jan and Dean, Sung]
It's the little old lady from Pasadena!
Spoken
[NARRATOR]
Unknowingly, Henry Decible, their time-trusted friend and rambunctious recording engineer accidentally crosses two wires and twists the wrong dial
Twist! Ssshhh, crackle
Lo, and behold, emerging from the mysteriously colored cloud of smoke and gases - is a sweet little old lady
[DEAN]
Holy senior citizen!
[NARRATOR]
In a long, organdy dress with high button shoes
[LITTLE OLD LADY]
Hi Honeys! Hi Henry! Well boys - I've waited a long time for this. Have a cookie. I need your help
[NARRATOR]
The little old lady goes onto explain how she needs the aid of Jan and Dean in her against those who jeopardize justice! And for this purpose, she magically grants them the secret identities of Captain Jan and Dean the Boy Blunder
[DEAN]
Holy Halloween, Jan! Look at this great costume, it's slick. The little old lady gave it to me
[JAN]
It's Captain Jan from now on pal
[DEAN]
I'm sorry - footsteps, a crash
[JAN]
What did you do, dolt?
[DEAN]
I tripped over my cap
[JAN]
Cape
[DEAN]
Cape
[JAN]
You do deserve that name Boy Blunder
[NARRATOR
The little old lady goes on to give Captain Jan and Dean the Boy Blunder mystic powers, which will be divulged later, dear listener
Jan and Dean return with the little old lady to their Bel Air manor, tucked away in the Bel Air botanical garden
[DEAN]
Holy landscaper!
[NARRATOR]
The lofty attic - of the palatial mansion, with the little old lady, they worked for weeks, building an astounding scientific laboratory, matched by none
[LITTLE OLD LADY]
And so boys, I'll be in my little house in Pasadena, if you want me. And remember, by singing my name, you will assume your secret identities
[NARRATOR
The little old lady races out the backdoor -
[DEAN]
Holy sprinter!
[NARRATOR]
Leaps in her superstock Dodge -
[DEAN]
Holy Hurdler!
[NARRATOR]
And wails away car noises
And thus we have Captain Jan and Dean the Boy Blunder, that titanic twosome of the champion of the cause of justice to triumph over evil
