[78-L] Nostalgic! Vaughn Meader

[soundthink at aol.com]

I thought "Welcome to the LBJ Ranch" was a scream. That's where they take excerpts from politicians' actual speeches and do a "Flying Saucer" number on them, only they're a heckuva lot funnier. I'm sliding it out of its jacket right now! Alen Robin's sequel, "Funny Farm," on the Courage label is even racier - the producers went wild when they found a snippet from a Hubert Humphrey speech?where he says "really naked." That became a running gag throughout the record as Hubert interrupted every mildly suggestive statement with his comment.

What?! You don't like

Sing Along with JFK (actually quite funny)
Bernie Goes to Washington (Bernie Berns)
The two "Other Family" albums about Khruschev (George Segal, Buck Henry and 
Joan Rivers are on one of them)
The Last Family (Tito Hernandez..this one was about Castro)

The post-Kennedy albums are pathetic. Don't know why they kept trying, right 
through the Reagan years. Only the Orson Welles "Begatting" is worth even 
sliding out of the jacket.
