Let the fun surround you. Seriously. Do it now. All ya gotta do is go to the great WMFU's blog, where today them fine folks from New Joizy have, for whatever reason, posted three cuts from a 1967 giveaway album that serves as both a guide to Six Flags Over Texas and as a soundtrack to your visit. I dunno how much patience you'll have for the seven-and-a-half minute intro to the park, "The Sound of Fun Surrounds You," but dear Sweet Baby Jesus, I will not get the "Six Flags March" out of my head for the rest of the day. And that "Six Flags Song" goes right on the iPod: "Let's go have a holiday where everyone likes to play/Six Flags Over Texas/Six Flags Over Texas." And...horn solo. --Robert Wilonsky

Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
