Another priceless sketch from Stan Freberg Presents:
The United States of America, Volume one.
This is historically correct, the British had all the pots
and pans they needed…

Rhett and Link set a great mood with this video.
I’ve worked down in that area and I do believe
they have a severe hankering to blow stuff up.
I’ve been blowing off fireworks my whole life, my
family got into it really early on.
The smell of gunpowder, the sparks, the screams
of terror when someone gets their hair caught on
fire, I REALLY love this time of year…

Personally I liked it better when they were illegal
where I live, too danged expensive now and not
enough of the REAL stuff.
Bring back Chinese fireworks, that stuff’s incredible!
The Simpsons are in the mood for the 4th.
Homer saves the beer, that’s the good news…

Tim Wilson with a look at overzealous pyrotechnic appreciators.
I get it, I’m there, I am one.
The displays are intoxicating, as are the “ooohs” and “aaahs”.
The burn holes in the clothing and the 3rd degree scalp burns I
can do without…

Stan Freberg Presents: The United States of America is a classic
recording that all the others are to be measured by.
A tremendous effort by all involved and for many reasons.
The voice artists alone are beyond superb, they were the best
in the business at the time and were at top form here.
This starts off the Independence Day mind set…
