Helen Hunt. PCP. Hall. Oats. And Keyboard Cat.

An after school special from the 80s starring Ms. Hunt trying PCP (not cocaine, my bad), played out by Keyboard Cat.

Then, for good measure, a little Hall & Oats plus cat duet.

Sweetness!

Thanks Charlie

That's right kids - 1981 was *that* good. I'm having flashbacks right now.

PCP. Not cocaine. PCP.

Thanks Nick.

I'm not so familiar with after school specials and narcotics.

In a couple years, when VH1 does "I Love the Oughts," there is going to be a full 10 minutes and the glory that is the Keyboard Cat.

Technically, it will be "I Ought the Loves" if they can get the naming rights from Sonny Curtis and don't get sued by Frances Cobain.

Other notables in that afterschool special (in the video):

Doug McKeon - "Mischief" or that movie that you stayed up to see Kelly Preston's hooters.

Mykelti Williamson - "Bubba" from Forrest Gump among many others

Michelle Greene - L.A. Law

Plus Diane Ladd, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Clayton Rohner (one of those "That Guys") and Diana Scarwid (the teacher).

Helen Hunt made fun of the special on SNL in her monologue in the mid-90s IIRC.

Nice work Inoffensive Dave.

"Doug McKeon - "Mischief" or that movie that you stayed up to see Kelly Preston's hooters." And let me just say - "Awww Yeah!"

I think the dude pushing the PCP on Helen also played Scotty Palmer in HardBodies.

I've mentioned this before, but when I was a kid, I thought Hall and Oats was actually "Haulin' Oats."
