This was their famous TV commercial, which ran all during the '80s. I remember elementary school kids used to dance and sing the lyrics, complete with high-kicks.
At my high school, we used to sing it to the chorus of "I Got You Babe" Sonny & Cher whenever that song came on the radio....
"Legs....(duh-duh, duh-duh)....We've got crab legs.....(duh-duh, duh-duh)....We've got crab legs....."
(Correction 1/22/14: I initially wrote Sea Galley went out of business. Ryan D. from Anchorage informed me that was far from the case. And John Graham informed me earlier there is also another location in Union Gap, WA. Thanks to everyone and Sea Galley for their patience and my apologies for the error. - Larry)
So crazy to see this here. Saw that there is still a lonely sea galley in Yakima and immediately thought of the crab legs song!
ReplyDeleteI am currently working at the one in Anchorage, AK as of the end of January 2014 we are stil open for business and doing quite well
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected. Thank you for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteI worked for Sea Galley in Spokane,Walla Walla and Seattle in the 70s & early 80s.Lots of good memories.
ReplyDeleteWow hilarious! I worked at one in Salem, Oregon in the late 80's. Still love that song.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went to the one in Union Gap (Yakima) Washington this month. It was like stepping back in time! It looks like the same Sea Galley we grew up with. Enjoyed our visit and had a delicious salad bar and entree!

ReplyDeleteHaving one location in Anchorage and one in Union Gap isn't far from the case of being closed...
Technically, you're right. But as long as it exists somewhere, it still in all fairness needs to be mentioned. You won't believe what some folks would do for those crab legs again these days!
ReplyDeleteSea galley in spokane was my first job at 15. Rene was the manager,ofcthe one in spokane . i remember walking up to him when they were just finishing building it and asking for a job. He smiled and said write your name down and i will call you when we start hiring. He did and i started as a dishwasher. I loved the job and the people their.
