Swedish novelty music artist Povel Ramel and vocalist Alice Babs (who 
died just a few weeks ago, at 90) announced the end of Side One of "The 
Big Juleblues" (The Big Christmas Blues, recorded in 1952) in the 
following way:
Alice Babs and the vocal backing group ends a nonsense dialogue:

Alice Babs: ...you'll find out, anyway.
Group: What do we find out?
Alice Babs: You'll know if you flip the disc.
Povel Ramel: If you haven't played the other side first - in that case 
you know it already. Slickers!

Then Side Two begins with Povel pretending to be a gramophone record on 
a wind-up machine and makes complaints about the needle, which should be 
switched, because it hurts.
Etc.
