Here's a Happy Birthday Doke for Little Oscar, The Prettiest Girl In Candyland. Those are merely rumblings of mutiny even though they may sound like the feisty chitterlings of my big sister. I always thought it was sort of special that her birthday fell on Columbus Day, until much later when I found out what a shitheel and doofus Columbo reportedly was. Anyway, Terrill Maureen, please enjoy some alternative universe history with your doke tonight.
Columbus Day, Stan Freberg (1961, from "The United States of America: The Early Years," Capitol W/SW-1573), via YouTube, embedded for noncommercial critical discussion and educational purposes.
Thanks for the trip back in time when big fun was sitting around the Hi-Fi listening to records. Sometimes I still reply "French Horns" when someone says "What's that?"
ReplyDeleteYes, the hi-fi. We had a big blonde-wood Olympia full of glowing orange tubes, built-in TV and one (count 'em!) 12 in. elliptical satellite speaker in matching cabinet. Courtesy of the old man, we became familiar with Freberg, Allen Sherman, Tom Lehrer, and That Was The Week That Was (TV show tie-in LP) as well as The Broadway soundtrack to The Music Man. Not a bad audio satire library for a postwar Republican.
