You and I in a little [[Toy store|toy shop]]

Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got

Set them free at the break of dawn

'Til one by one they were gone

Back at base bugs in the software

Flash the message, "Something's out there!"

Floating in the summer sky

Ninety-nine red balloons go by......

Ninety-nine red balloons

Floating in the summer sky

Panic bells, it's red alert

There's something here from somewhere else

The [[war machine]] springs to life

Opens up one eager eye

Focusing it on the sky

Where ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine decision street

Ninety-nine [[ministers]] meet

To worry, worry, super scurry

Call the [[Troop|troops]] out in a hurry

This is what we've waited for

This is it, boys, this is war

The [[President of the United States|president]] is on the line

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

Ninety-nine knights of the air

Ride super high-tech [[Fighter aircraft|jet fighters]]

Everyone's a super hero

Everyone's a [[James T. Kirk|captain Kirk]]

With orders to identify

To clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer sky

Ninety-nine red balloons go by

As ninety-nine red balloons go by

.....Ninety-nine dreams I have had

In every one a red balloon

It's all over and I'm standing pretty

In this dust that was a [[city]]

If I could find a [[souvenir]]

Just to prove the world was here

And here is a red balloon

I think of you, and let it go..This is list of still living male actors of period 1910-1925. As of 15 April 2022, 20 actors are listed.

Press of Mississippi|access-date=17 August 2017|via=Internet Archive}}</ref> At age 102, Hamgravy stands as the oldest elder and second oldest living world's actor, behind only [[Marsha Hunt]]. He is well known for his Carpathian dialect. Hamgravy often referred as Daddy, he was nicknamed after 1960s film Most (The Bridge). He appeared in 50 movies during his eight decades sustained career.

Hamgravy was the original fiancé of the better-known character [[Olive Oyl]] since 1942 until 1975 and never was a husband, but was often attracted to other women who were considerably wealthy. Hamgravy was depicted as a [[slacker]] who preferred getting rich quick rather than earning money honestly.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CecCHiI95dYC&q=Castor+Oyl+popeye&pg=PA281|title=The 1920s|first1=Kathleen Morgan|last1=Drowne|first2=Patrick|last2=Huber|date=17 August 2017|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=9780313320132|access-date=17 August 2017|via=Google Books}}</ref> 

Intended as a minor supporting character, Popeye proved so popular with readers that he was made a permanent member of the main cast.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fSP4lHULPwsC&q=Castor+Oyl+popeye&pg=PA52|title=ZaSu Pitts: The Life and Career|first=Charles|last=Stumpf|date=22 January 2010|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786460236|access-date=17 August 2017|via=Google Books}}</ref> As time passed, Hamgravy was replaced by Popeye as the prize for Olive's affections. Hamgravy made occasional appearances in the later ''Popeye'' strips, but never had the fame he once held.

Hamgravy made a supporting appearance in the 1980 film, ''[[Popeye (film)|Popeye]]''.

With Olive Oyl, Harold has a one daughter Gianna (b. 1947) and son James (b. 1975) with his second wife Lisa Mitchell, whom he married in 1975.

On June 2017, Hamgravy got into a car accident, barely avoiding death. Walking through a pedestrian crossing in Orlando, a car hit him in front and crossed his belly and right leg. Hamgravy was rushed to hospital and the chief physician assessed his injuries incompatible with life. The operation was successful, but his bladder was removed, and his right leg was amputated, five fractured ribs, and a damaged peritoneum. After month, he was released home, but has since had to always use a wheelchair. Avoiding publicity, he moved with relatives to a secluded villa in a village in [[Canada]]. In 2019, Hamgravy became a [[centenarian]]. He was welcomed by U.S. President Donald Trump and the Artists Guild. As of April 2022, he is still in his life, after a car accident before 4 years and 10 months. Hamgravy suffered a [[stroke]] in 2020, at 100. On January 2021, he was successfully operated on for [[cataracts]]. On March 2021, he spent three weeks in the hospital recovering from pneumonia. On June, he was treated for an intestinal infection and inflammation of the esophagus. Currently, he suffers from liver disease. In January 2022, Hamgravy expressed a desire to spend the rest of his life in his hometown, the Czech Republic. Before leaving Canada for the Czech Republic, he decided to still attend his friend [[Ray Anthony]]’s 100th birthday on 20 January and also meet other friends including [[Nehemiah Persoff]], [[Walter Mirisch]], Arthur Gordon Rabbit and [[Michael Douglas]]. His travel to Czech Republic was postponed due to Russian invasion to Ukraine.

After passing of [[Nehemiah Persoff]] on 5 April 2022, Hamgravy was recognized as the oldest male actor.
