I've posted this inquiry, before. But, it has been a couple of years, so I've never asked it on V 2.0, and I'm thinking that it may fall on new eyes/memories.
My best calculation is that it aired 1960 - 1968. It was a presentation from one of those on-going series of varied productions, that were usually sponsored by one company. (I think it was one of the "Kraft Theater" series. It would have been a bit frivolous from what I remember of "The Alcoa Hour.")
Overview:
--- A light comedy, with music
--- A teen-aged girl, and her pre-teen brother write a rock 'n roll song.
--- Somehow (I don't recall how), the song falls into the hands of a music producer, who wants to record it.
--- The production company has every sophisticated ... then "state of the art" ... recording equipment. The kids insist that the song be recorded in the bathroom of their home, for the echo effect that they want. And, they want the background music to be played on a harpsichord. The production company says that's unnecessary to get the desired effect. But, the kids remain firm ... and, of course, win.
Two things about the song:
--- I remember it as sounding something like the song "Let's Get Together," that Haley Mills sang in the movie The Parent Trap. But, of course, it wasn't that song.
--- It, actually, made the Top-Forty charts, and was played on radio stations that had that format. It wasn't "on the charts," for very long. And, I don't think that it got even close to the top 25. But, I recall hearing it on the radio.
I have Googled, and searched Keywords on IMDb ... but, nothing. I know that it isn't among television's finest hours. But, it was a fun production. And, I would be ever so gratified to be reassured that I'm not crazy.
