Thanks for that great clip. I remember that song with Kiki Dee singing with Elton with it. But the song was later used in the movie "Ella Enchanted".
I remember "Totally Minnie" when I was a youngster. I used to watch it on the "Magical World of Disney" every Sunday night on WNBC-TV (Channel 4) back on May 7th, 1989 when I was still 10 years old in my room with my old 13' Black & White TV.
I used to record it on my cassette tape on my radio with a built-in mic when I used to have it and record "Totally Minnie" on my home recordings.
That brings back memories.
I found this entire special on mousebits.com (I would not to post a link that special from Mousebits.com website) and I downloaded it using BitTorrent, but sadly, it was in MP4 format, so I used Super (C) to convert my MP4 files to AVI and then ended up burning it onto one CD which is a VCD. As for YouTube, I would not upload the entire special which is split up to 6 or 7 parts, because it's a copyright problem.
I haven't seen that special in years, But I have it on VCD now, because the special contains the "Magical World of Disney" intros, bumpers with no commercials (except the old Disney/MGM Studios commercial) and outros featuring promos for "Family Ties" (with 3 episodes left before the series finale) and "My Two Dads" and finally ends with the Garen-Albrecht Productions logo and the Walt Disney Television logo with the blue castle.
The Walt Disney TV logo is one of my favorites, and this should end up on CLG board on the "Files" section of the Yahoo! Groups sometime soon along with the same video I will be uploading to Zippyvideos.
I love that special, but it was no available on DVD, and it's a great find.
