Subject: looking for these songs....

Written By: Fingerssss on 03/23/03 at 01:17 p.m.

This is a question for all you  out there who were actually old enough to listen to the radio and understand it in the early to mid-70's.


There were several songs that "sounded" like interviews with people like r. m. nixon, h kissenger, etc.

The "reporter" would ask questions, then they'd play clips from popular songs as if that was the interview-ee's answer.

They were pretty funny, been looking on kazza lite and google, etc. but to no avail. as i recall, they came out somewhere near the time ray stevens released the streak, etc. seems like it anyway...


bad thing is, i used to have the 45's of all of them, but that was a couple of months, well years, well okay decades ago......

thanks y'all

That song with Nixon and Kissinger is "Mr. President" by Dickie Goodman.

There were several of them. The first one I remember was called "The Energy Crisis." If I am not mistaken, it actually hit the top 40. And then there was another one called "Mr. Jaws" I think it was Dickie Goodman who did both of them.

Ohmigosh, that's so funny!  I haven't thought of those songs in years!  Mr. Jaws was great....

"We are here on the beach where a giant shark has just eaten a girl swimmer.  Well, Mr. Jaws, how was it"

"Dy-No-Mite!"
