Listener comments!

♥ 11:59am Stevel:

FREBERG!!!

[officially out of my system]

♥ 11:59am Amanda:

Ah! I get THAT reference.

♥ 12:00pm Amanda:

Can you hear my music? Not sure why the playlist is displaying something else.

♥ 12:01pm listener james from westwood:

I hear Green Day!

♥ 12:01pm Stevel:

Surprised I never used a Stan Freberg piece back in my speech team days.

Yes, I hear music.

♥ 12:01pm Rich in Washington:

I hear the Amanda theme

12:02pm sugarwolf:

Hello hello

♥ 12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Gotta dash off to work. Have a monstrously wonderful show, Amanda! (Per usual.)

12:04pm P-90:

Greetings DJ Amanda and Nazarini. hadn't heard the news about Stan. VERY sad now.

♥ 12:06pm listener james from westwood:

Cat-shaped cookies that aren't actually cats for all!

12:07pm MONEYBAG$:

trying to listen to this show in one ear and Duane in the other. mind expanding

♥ 12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...giving up my place in line on WKCR's server for Billie Holliday
- so this had better be pretty gawshdarn Sceanario !! ...

- Thank You, Stan Freberg.

♥ 12:13pm Amanda:

I realize the cartoons at the top might be misleading -- Freberg wasn't in the Marc Anthony cartoon, I just wanted to make gifs of it because I love it.

12:15pm sugarwolf:

Whoa, Maria from sesame street!

♥ 12:16pm Stevel:

sugarwolf: Very cool!

♥ 12:17pm Amanda:

@sugarwolf - you win!!!

♥ 12:18pm Stevel:

All this and more.

12:19pm Hoboken Jack:

I saw Nina Persson perform a few months back at Mexicali Live in beautiful downtown Teaneck. She didn't pull anything from the Cardigans songbook, however.

12:19pm ?:

"Feed the Kitty" is a classic, one of Chuck Jones' very best!
Those two gifs look so cool side by side...

♥ 12:20pm Amanda:

It's all in the eyes...

♥ 12:25pm Gaylord Fields:

"Feed the Kitty" never fails to give me the feels, even after almost 50 years of watching it.

Also: "Today the pits; tomorrow the wrinkles" — Ars gratia pecuniae," indeed! R.I.P., Cecil the Sea Sick Sea Serpent!

12:27pm ndbob:

afternoon Amanda and everyone!

♥ 12:28pm Amanda:

Gud afternoon T'Bob and everyone!!!

12:33pm ndbob:

One thing that makes me feel old is that I was too old for Sesame Street

♥ 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...a little like Alan Sherman, a little like Tom Lehrer, a little like Bob Dorough, a little like Mel Blanc
...a lot like Stan Freberg.

♥ 12:38pm Gaylord Fields:

@ndbob: I was also way too old for Sesame Street when it debuted in 1969, but I also wasn't.

♥ 12:39pm listener james from westwood:

whistling along to this one!

12:40pm ndbob:

@Gaylord I do understand:) I feel that way about lots of things

♥ 12:40pm Amanda:

I count one (1) guitar note in this entire song.

♥ 12:43pm Gaylord Fields:

So if I understand the song correctly, he's a skeleton who just happens to be named Mr. Ghost.

12:45pm sugarwolf:

I was the perfect age for the golden age of educational tv

12:46pm ndbob:

woops no sound here

12:47pm glenn:

dead air, amanda.

12:47pm ndbob:

and back

♥ 12:47pm Amanda:

Woops, fixed!

@Gaylord I think that's exactly right. And skeletons do tend to love going out to nightclubs, more than ghosts.

♥ 12:47pm Amanda:

@sugarwolf - me too, I'm happy to say!

12:48pm P-90:

When it first appeared, Sesame Street had a lot of hipster cred, everyone was watching it and talking about it. It was seen as an invasion of "educational television" by a kind of counterculture sensibility. (Jim Henson's crew-who had collaborated with Freberg on TV commercials-had a lot to do with this.)
And thanks again Amanda, for the "Feed the Kitty" gifs, the IOS app de-volved me to "?" In my comment at 12:19.

♥ 12:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...back when choices were few - Sesame Street was perfectly cannabinoid.

♥ 12:50pm Amanda:

Thanks for revealing yourself, P-90! Sorry about the drop-out, I was just so blissed-out on my own segue that I spaced.

12:51pm glenn:

i never watched sesame street. loved the muppet show, though.

12:53pm sugarwolf:

I bought the old school sesame st DVDs and they come with a warning! May not be appropriate for today's child. Oh dear.

12:55pm glenn:

iain mathews sounding crazily like gene clark here.

12:57pm ndbob:

nice set here Amanda!

♥ 12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@sugarwolf:
Lefty the 'Salesman': ...'Hey kid - ya wanna buy...an E ?!??'...

12:58pm MONEYBAG$:

in the words of John Sebastian, it's so groovy to come here and see all you people living in tents

12:59pm Hoboken Jack:

Darn, I thought ? from the Mysterians had tuned in.

1:00pm Erella:

That was beautiful!

1:00pm P-90:

@sugarwolf: Doesn't that just SUCK? I read the PC Police even gave Cookie Monster a hard time for potentially encouraging childhood obesity. Freberg himself was legendary for challenging that kind of thinking VERY early on- he did a radio bit about the network executives asking him to change the song "Ol' Man River" to "Elderly Man River"- in 1957!

1:01pm ndbob:

I've had Obray Ramsey records

1:05pm Polyus:

I forgot about Marc Anthony! What a great name for a dog.

1:07pm Hoboken Jack:

That Julie Byrne track was really quite nice.

♥ 1:14pm Jeff Golick:

Hi. Must be something in the air in re Sonny & Cher.

♥ 1:15pm Amanda:

You did too, Jeff? Ack!!!

1:16pm KP:

Hi, Amanda.

♥ 1:16pm Jeff Golick:

Well, I know @glenn's happy about it. Way diff tune.

1:17pm KP:

Oh man, I missed Gene Clark.

1:18pm jay c:

ripping the tunes as always, happy wednesday!

1:19pm josh:

Ladybug's Picnic! One of many songs my wife thinks I made up.

1:20pm bpd:

Ladybugs' Picnic is life-affirming

1:20pm Hoboken Jack:

In the somewhat viral story going around of the LEGO "Golden Girls" set, there's an image of LEGO Dorothy and LEGO Sophia as LEGO Sonny and Cher. Maybe that's how they re-entered the zeitgeist.

♥ 1:29pm Jeff Golick:

I'm shocked.

♥ 1:29pm Gaylord Fields:

There are more than enough Simpsons books on the market, and yet I could read one more — one with the name Amanda Nazario on the cover.

♥ 1:29pm listener james from westwood:

hump and a dewlap ...

♥ 1:33pm listener james from westwood:

Heh, good out tune!

1:33pm glenn:

what am i happy about?

♥ 1:34pm Amanda:

Aw, shucks Gaylord. And I would be thrilled to write it, when the time comes!

LEGO has been really on the ball lately. Their Simpsons playsets are totally awesome.

1:35pm KP:

Gaylord, i would be thrilled to buy and read that book. Just dont ask me what it's about.

1:37pm glenn:

i have a simpson's clue game. if there was simpsons risk, i would own that too.

♥ 1:38pm Jeff Golick:

@glenn: more Sonny & Cher?

Have the Simpsons chess set somewhere around here...

1:39pm Hoboken Jack:

Ms. Byrne is at Rough Trade in Brooklyn this coming Saturday.

♥ 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...could be just like what 'Simpson's Time' is here:
- 'AmNazz's [Illustrated] Random Episode Guide to The Simpsons' ; works as an intro for me ! ...
- Monkees typed as Beatles copies - but this is really good FolkPopRockBubblegum like other stuff...

♥ 1:44pm Gaylord Fields:

Rafelson and Schneider must have peed their pants when Micky auditioned: a goofball with a face made out of India rubber and an angel's voice.

♥ 1:49pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Blark...Our department had a luncheon at a local restaurant today. I am packed like a Snickers bar. I feel like I'm having a food baby!

♥ 1:49pm Stevel:

Good to be here for most of the show, during work. Lovely as always.

1:49pm glenn:

rough trade? eeeeeeek.

1:49pm whattawino:

Carol Pope! Wow...Very cool....

♥ 1:50pm Amanda:

Srsly! The lore is that Micky was hired second... but only because Davy was their client at the outset and they were building the rest of the group around him.

♥ 1:50pm listener james from westwood:

Ages since I've heard "All Touch"!

1:50pm KP:

When i saw the Monkees at the Beacon, Brian Williams was sitting in front of me. I swear.

1:51pm glenn:

i had no idea rough trade was ever played outside of toronto.

♥ 1:52pm Gaylord Fields:

@KP: The way he told it, he had replaced Davy in the band. (Eat lead, barrel of fish!)

♥ 1:52pm listener james from westwood:

Had no idea I had this much Freberg in my childhood DNA.

1:54pm Hoboken Jack:

According to the always-trustworthy Wikipedia, these four were all indeed Bud Luckey animations.

♥ 1:54pm Gaylord Fields:

@Amanda: Yep, Davy was a given (and already contracted to Columbia/Screen Gems).

1:54pm KP:

Davy got the gig off his portrayal of the Artful Dodger on the same Ed Sullivan show that premiered the Beatles.

1:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Amanda!

♥ 1:56pm listener james from westwood:

Peggy and, what, the artist she canned for harassing Joan were doing this John/Marsha bit early in one of the mid-60s Mad Men seasons.

♥ 1:57pm listener james from westwood:

(now that Mad Men's waning, a bit of trivia seems suitable!)

♥ 1:57pm Amanda:

Peter was handed over by Stephen Stills, and Nez was the only guy who actually answered the casting ad and showed up at the cattle call. (I am happy to tell this story over and over.)

♥ 1:58pm Jeff Golick:

Stephen Stills' greatest achievement.

♥ 1:58pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks for the swell show, Amanda!

1:59pm KP:

And the concept and appearance was copped from the Who!

1:59pm KP:

See you Amanda. Sorry for being late

1:59pm P-90:

Thanks again, DJ Amanda! Hoping for another Simpson's Time meetup soon...!

♥ 2:00pm listener james from westwood:

Many thanks, Amanda!
