A children's TV program about "weird animals" based on books by Marc Brown. It features the eponymous anthropomorphic aardvark Arthur Read dealing with everyday issues with his family and friends in Elwood City.

It's also known for its catchy theme song, which goes:

Everyday when you're walking down the street
everybody that you meet
has an original point of view.

And I say, "Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of day
where you can learn to work and play
and get along with each other."

You got to listen to your heat. Listen to the beat.
Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street.
Open up your eyes, open up your ears.
Get together and make things better
by working together.

It's a simple message,
and it comes from the heart.
Believe in yourself (believe in yourself),
for that's the place to start! (Start!)

And I say, "Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of day
where you can learn to work and play
and get along with each other."

"What a wonderful kind of day!
What a wonderful kind of day!"

A cool and rare male name, if you ever meet an Arthur in your life. You will see that he shows lots of integrity, very chill, awesome, great and is a masterful food connoisseur(FYI: Arthur loves bubble tea). If you are a friend of someone named Arthur, you are very lucky and fortunate and should not take him for granted. A great example is King Arthur the Great, Arthur from the tv show and Arthur the Asian Dude
person 1: YO that person looks awesome and chill
person 2: Duhhhhhh that's Arthur
person 1: ahhhhh man, i wish i was his friend

A common male name, meaning "bear-like," believed to possibly be descended from the Roman surname Artorius ("plowman") or the Celtic bear-goddess Artio or more probably from the Celtic word artos ("bear").

Known from King Arthur, the legendary British ruler, therefore often used, if somebody is very strong.

How could you manage to take this stuff? You must be an Arthur.

He is usually a cool person but hides a lot of pain. He always asks if people are OK but never if he is OK.
