[soundthink at aol.com]

Robin plays a psychiatrist who does therapy sessions?with Nixon, Humphrey, Ted Kennedy, McGovern, Rockefeller etc.

A few examples:

Robin: Who made your suit for you?
Nixon: Millions of South Vietnamese men, women & children.
Robin: And the tie? Where did you get the tie?
Nixon: Thailand.

Robin: You still think you're Joan of Arc?
Humphrey: There isn't any doubt.
Robin: How long have you been Joan of Arc?
Humphrey: Since 1962.
Robin: What do you think I should do about it?
Humphrey: Call the fire department.

Robin: You prefer your women how?
Humphrey: Naked. Naked. Really naked. Really naked, naked, naked.
Robin: I mean cultural preferences.
Humphrey: Naked, naked, naked, naked, naked, naked. Really, really, really naked.

Robin: You're one of the richest people in the world. How much bread do you have on you right now?
Rockefeller: One trillion five hundred billion dollars.
Humphrey: Mentally ill.
Robin: You have a zoo in upstate in New York that has 77 chimpanzees.
Rockefeller: Three have been senators.

Funny stuff.

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.
