Otherwise known as the Male Chauvinist National Anthem. Written by Shel Silverstein in the early 70’s this little ditty has been covered by many artists over the years. It most certainly is NOT to be taken seriously. This is parody at its finest. No women were harmed in the making of this recording. I’ll bet a lot of men were though, especially when they got home…
Mr. T (pity the fool!) and the A Team couldn’t make it, so the B Team was called. You certainly get what you pay for. Could be worse, they could have gotten midgets…
A smart and very funny piece by David Crowe. David is a damned good stand-up comedian, one of the better ones on the circuit. He makes some great points here, and funny as well…
I say this a lot when I post the playlists but this weeks was a pretty interesting show, for a lot of reasons. The Man with Massive Toenails is a very welcome throwback to a time when you could write a comedy song about damned near anything…massive toenails?! A classic by Rowan Atkinson, a piece as smart as they come. Norman and Melissa with a superb parody of the Max Ehrmann masterpiece written in the early 1900’s. An Outcast block (sorta). The Undertaker, the infamous Monty Python television show sketch. They got the whole audience to participate in it with mock outrage, not informing the audience watching at home was pure genius. Party block with Brian Regan leading the way. Cold block, with a REALLY cold non-humorous piece at the end by Celestial Navigations and the late, great Geoffrey Lewis. It is most certainly NOT funny, but I play it from time to time with the philosophy in mind that to truly appreciate beauty one must know what ugly is…that piece evokes many strong emotions, all of which are decidedly not positive, with just the smallest glimmer of hope to propel you forward. Contrast, my friends, it’s all in the contrast. I threw a parody in there of a classic song that is not what it seems to be at all, it seems romantic until you break it all down. June Carter with a very forced country twang. Cy Amundson gets the top spot with a superb piece of stand-up. Onward and that-a-way…

Another hilarious moment with Frank Drebin. The late, great Leslie Nielsen was a perfect fit for this character, nobody could have done it better than he. From the classic 1991 flick. This scene is hilarious, lots of sight gags and funny lines…
