Who remembers the TV show called "Andy's Gang" ?  As I recall, it was a
Saturday late-morning show starring (?) Andy Devine.  It was basically a
bunch of skits and film shorts.

One of the regular bits was a frog who appeared out of a grandfather clock
in a cloud of smoke and went through a vaudeville routine with Andy --
insults, bad jokes, pies-in-the-face, etc.  When Andy had had enough, he
would say "Pluck (Plunk ?) your magic twanger, Froggie" and the frog would
disappear back into the clock with a cloud of smoke and a twanging sound...
....Boingoingoingoing.

I seem to remember a semi-regular serial about a jungle boy (Rama ?) who
spent most of his time riding through the jungle on elephants.

Now, for all of you trivia buffs:

  What was the slogan of Andy's Gang, repeated religiously at the end of
  every show by a screaming audience of thousands of kids ???
