A shout out to the Pinheadz in Vice City as well.  ^^^

Lana Del Rey “Ride”

Sex on a pinball.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

A light shone in the night some way ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red
And stirring the night, love music played
The light I saw in the night was a Penny Arcade

"Hey, step up and play", each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade
Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle
And you'll make all those colored lights cascade

And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well, it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime

At first I thought it a dream that I was in
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine

"Hey, step up and play", each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade
Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle
And you'll make all those colored lights cascade

And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well, it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime

"Oh, step up and play", each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the Penny Arcade
Just ring the bell on the big Bagatelle
And you'll make all those colored lights cascade

And music played at the Penny Arcade
Well, it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last, roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last dime

Roy Orbison
“If you wanna escape, go up to a pinball machine. There’s a magic button on the front that takes you to a world under the glass and makes the the rest of the universe disappear.”

Yes, the Roy Orbison song featured on a 70s afternoon kids show.
The show was called Cartoon Corner on channel 9 and the host was Skeeter (dont know his real name).
They had a resident pinball machine and they changed them regularly. I do not remember any specific titles that were on the show, but they were all EMs as the show was in the early to mid 70s.
The Penny Arcade song was catchy and I remember it going through my head as I played the arcades.

Ah, those were the years!

Edit: Actually found the actor was James Kemsley the cartoonist! Now why didnt he have a Ginger Meggs pinball???
