Screamin’ Jay Hawkins with a classic novelty hit from 1958.
He put out many a variation of this tune, this is the studio version
that he is most famous for.
He milked this piece for all it was worth and put on quite a show
while doing it, some performances were very elaborate…

Corky & The Juice Pigs with a humorous look at piracy,
misogyny, and body painting.
Yeah, in that order…

A soon to be classic from Gary Gulman.
I love a great bit like this one, lots of humor with more
than a colonel of truth attached to it.
Insightful, and informative, funny too…

Mike Phirman with a look at atonement.
At least that’s what he’d like to think.
He does not seem to be very sorry about much.
There seems to be a rather large amount of
snark contained within, could be me…

Mike Nichols and Elaine May performed the majority of
their material back in the 1950’s, most of it is not at all
dated as it was VERY much ahead of it’s time.
Tremendous stuff, top notch in every way, very visual in
it’s approach, you can see what they are performing.
And that is the nature of my current comedic lament.
They don’t make radio sketches anymore, it’s all geared
for television or the cinema, it uses a visual component
that does not translate well to radio’s audio only approach.
Having said that I will keep playing the classics, like this one.
It is indeed Pinksky…

Andy Hendrickson with a humorously dark look at
mini vans, single dads, and the hardship of divorce.
It’s a funny bit, but not if you’re that mini van owner…
