This Saturday morning ABC cartoon showcased Rick Springfield's pop songs accompanying "groovy" montages ala "the Brady Kids" cartoon series. Rick was at the time being positioned as a sort of Aussie David Cassidy. The show was cute, harmless and, unfortunately, short-lived. (I still remember the catchy theme song over thirty years later: "Do you believe you believe in magic? Cause I believe I believe that I do. If you believe you believe in magic and your mission is magic your love will shine through. If there's one thing that the world needs it's a magic singing song. And I'll teach it to the whole world and make them sing along. Do you believe I believe in magic? Cause I believe I believe that I do. Yes, I can see you believe in magic. If your mission is magic your love will shine through. If your mission is magic your love'll shine through..." Rick Springfield not only provided the vocals for the musical interludes but played a character named "Rick." Animated "Rick" was drawn to look like a then-long haired Rick Springfield and in providing the voice for "Rick" Rick Springfield spoke with his native Australian accent.
