I first noticed a Partridge Family time traveler in the song “Point Me in the Direction of
Albuquerque” in which the young girl is obviously lost in time (although oddly, the key
lyric line was omitted from the TV episode “Road Song”). If you listen closely, there are
many other science fictional themes in the songs of Shirley Jones’s TV family, for example,
the clones in One Night Stand (♫ I wish that I could be two
people ♫) and, of course, the ubiquitous references to immortality
(♫ Could it be forever? ♫).
♫Showed me a ticket for a Greyhound bus Her head was lost in time She didn't
know who or where she was And anyone that helps me is a real good friend of
