Scruggs and Flatt did the Beverley Hillbilly theme (the Ballad of Jed Clampett) as well as "Duelling Banjos".

Come ride a little train that is going down the track
To the Junction,
Petticoat Junction.

Here's the song:

It's quite catchy!

And the site does say it was a spin-off of the Hillbillies http://timstvshowcase.com/junction.html

Off to listen to the song again! Now the question is, who's the Dean Martin sound-alike who sang the theme?
