I've never heard of Video Village, but the kids version was called
Shenanigans. I don't remember what the subgames were like on the show,
but in the home board game version there was tiddly-winks and lots
of 'draw a card from the approporiate stack and do what it says'.

I remember the tune to the Shenanigans theme song, but not the words:

sol do  la sol.   la la sol la sol mi do  la  fa mi
She nan i  gans!  ?  ?  ?   ?  ?   ?  She nan i  gans!

(The initial sol and final la are below do; everything else is above it.
Is there a better or more standard way to notate music in ASCII text?)

Does this help anyone else come up with the words?
