Dickie Goodman - Mr. Jaws and Other Fables

Dickie Goodman - Mr. Jaws and Other Fables

Released in 1975

Well here's that LP I promised yesterday. I was able to post it sooner than I expected. All 10 of these cuts are comedy bits or skits that are mostly fake news reports where the responses to interviews are snippets from hit songs back in the day (i.e. during when these bits were recorded). Fortunately, in keeping with the holiday/Christmas season, "Santa and the Satellite" happens to be on this LP.
I think the first sampling of music I've ever heard was in the "Flying Saucer" track played on Dr. Demento. Is this kind of recording as is on this record still being done today? I'm out of the loop on this and it's been about 13 years since I last listened to a Dr. Demento show because my tastes have evolved to the point where I can't listen to hack novelty music and stale comedy routines for more than thirty minutes.

I may not be back with a new post until next year, so merry holidays to all. Also, I like to wish for everyone to increase their wealth, gain exciting love lives, lose weight, be happier, exercise more, read good literature for 20 minutes a day, get whiter teeth, do some networking to make more friends and establish yourself with people much more important than you in the community, get a promotion by showing initiative and doing whatever it takes to increase the profit margin at work (or just simply kissing the butts of your bosses and management), and overall doing whatever is needed for self-improvement so that the new year of 2009 will be a year of joy, fulfillment and prosperity.
