and this is Gilbert and Frank's Amazing Colossal Obsessions.
It is, dammit. And who's with us?
Okay.
Kevin Daugherty.
Kevin Daugherty.
Our old friend.
And Darryl Mayeski.
Hey. Was he close? He was good. You like And Darryl Mayeski. Hey.
Was he close?
He was good.
You like Mayeski or Mayeski?

Owner and publisher of Scream Magazine.
The terrific Scream Magazine.
That's Scream with two E's.
Yes, which I don't miss.
And Kevin.
Kevin, that's me.
Is our old friend.
Kevin has been on the show before quizzing us.
Yes. Giving us Gilbert Gottfried Amazing Colossal Podcast trivia.
Kevin also made a nice video for us.
Oh, thank you.
It's on YouTube.
Did you put a title on that thing?
Orange Wedges and Glass Coffee Tables.
Yes.
I have no idea what that means.
It's an inside joke.
I'll explain it to you later.
Yeah.
Gee, I have no idea.
And you are also, you're a longtime friend of the show.
Yes.
And you are also still in the process of working with our wonderful friend, Drew Friedman.
Drew Friedman, who has a new book coming out in October.
He does.
All the Presidents, which is pretty self-explanatory.
We'll be bringing his ass back for that.
Yes.
And the doc is in the final. We're in post-production.
Let's just say that.
The Vermeer of the Borscht Belt.
And can I just jump for a second?
No.
We got.
Did you see this tweet that we got?
And I forget the guy's name.
You'll have to look it up for me.
Okay.
I'll do it at the end.
The guy of.
He printed up a dog food package. Oh, I'll do it at the end. The guy of, he printed up
a dog food package.
Oh, it's Ralph Castaneda.
Yes.
Jacqueline Bissett dog food.
Do you listen to the mini episodes?
Yes.
Actually, that was a full episode.
Jacqueline Bissett knows
what dogs like to eat.
Yeah, that's a guy,
that's an artist named
Ralph Castaneda
and he does,
or Castaneda.
Yeah.
And he does,
no relation to Carlos. Because according that's a guy, that's an artist named Ralph Castaneda, and he does, or Castaneda, and he does no relation to Carlos.
Because according to one of our guests, a dog
went down on
Jacqueline Bishop. Never happened.
Are we bleeping her name out?
She's alive. She won't
do the show. Daryl, tell us a little bit about
Screen Magazine, how you founded it, how long
it's been around. It's a Bible.
You know our our new
issue has an article about how i was raised by pentecostal parents oh great and they hated
everything and and living in uh this area where are you from originally originally from jersey
from uh uh pasake patterson okay and so i was weaned with zacherly oh i've met so many times
that was a loss for us to not have him here yeah great guy
and and uh whenever my parents would go into another room i'd put zacherly on or we had
creature features on wnw and so yeah i was into that stuff at the age of five and i guess there
there comes a time where you go i'm a fan and now i'm a historian. Yeah, you are both. You grow up with these movies and they leave such an impression on you that it never goes away.
And it's just a constant love.
And then you publish a magazine and you get good people like Drew Friedman, who did one of our covers.
Yes, he's a fan.
And Mark Maddox, who does a lot of our covers, is a Rondo Award winner.
We just won a Rondo
Award for Best Interview. We did one
with Elvira, so we're really proud of that.
A Rondo Award. It's a shame they're not
giving them out to podcasts
because I think we would qualify for a Rondo
Award. Yes. We could submit you, probably.
Would you? Yes. We just had, for God's
sake, we just had the last living actor
from The Son of Frankenstein on the show.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
If that doesn't qualify us for a runner.
And Daryl and I met at Chiller.
That's right.
He came up to me in the, what do they call that, the merch area?
Yep.
And he said, oh, I'm such a fan of the podcast.
And I was so flattered because I'm a longtime fan of the magazine. It's a funny thing about Rondo Hatton and kids like us who are raised on monster movies that we were little kids who knew about acromegaly.
And found it hilarious.
Well, I think Drew's book helped.
There's a bio coming out, too, of Rondo Hatton.
He just did the cover for it.
Yes, The Heartbreak of Acromegaly.
Yeah, wow. out to of rondo hatton he did just did the cover for yes and the heartbreak of acromegaly yeah wow yeah okay so they have teamed up the esteemed daryl mayeski and the uh incomparable kevin
dardy have teamed up i have no idea what this is about we don't know they said kevin reached out
and he said hey let us come in and stump you guys and quiz you guys and we'll bring some fun stuff
and that's all we know okay so like an audio
daily double is that what they call it on jeopardy like uh yeah they used to all right so we got a
bunch of audio uh clips of guests um former podcast guests podcast related people i'm excited
people you'll i mean nothing here is too obscure um it's obscure but the you should be able to get
most of these people.
Let's try the first one, Mr. Verterosa.
It's track number one.
Here we go.
This is from 1966.
And Johnny Beef Stew is here, too.
I can't tell you the title.
It kind of gives it away.
Yeah, I know what this is. What's the move?
Hi, kids.
It's me, your pal
LaVoy Wonder.
Oh, my God.
We asked him about this.
He admitted it?
Even as a
boy wonder, it's really hard
to read all the time. Written by... I think
Frank Zappa. Frank Zappa on
MGM Records.
The B-side was Orange Colored Sky, which was also performed by Adam West on Hollywood Palace.
Yes, I've seen Adam West perform Orange Colored Sky.
How old was he?
Was this in the height of Batman?
Well, yeah, 65, 66, yeah.
So he was...
About 19 or 20.
Tom's the Batman expert.
Johnny Beefstew, how old was Adam West?
He says 19. Oh, a burnt word, yeah. Johnny Beefsteel, how old was Adam West? He says 19.
Oh, a good word, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
So all of these have a connection to podcasts.
Most of them.
And some of them are people who haven't been here,
but some of them are people,
most of them are people who would be within the broader podcast
persons of interest.
I like this.
Bert's getting a star on the Walk of Fame.
Yes.
I guess you guys saw that.
Yeah, yeah. Why don't you tell us about the star on the Walk of Fame. Yes! I guess you guys saw that. Yeah.
Why don't you tell us about the second one we got?
The song is called I Can Feel Him
Moving.
Yes, number two.
And it's a religious number.
That's what Dara said on their wedding night.
This one takes a little bit.
We should talk this up like a DJ
because it doesn't come in for like 30 seconds.
Give it a ramp.
Ladies and gentlemen, here we come.
From 1975.
On Savoy Records.
Moving on the altar of my heart.
Every hour.
You ain't working too hard on this one.
The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
Damn.
He leadeth me beside the still water.
Damn, damn.
This is the first time I've ever jerked off.
To a gospel song? Yeah, damn. This is the first time I've ever jerked off. To a gospel song?
Yeah, yeah.
Except for those Mahalia Jackson.
Anybody?
Yeah.
Wait a second.
Now I'm going to get a hard-on every time I open the Bible.
And he's in a lot of hotel rooms.
This singer has never been on the show.
I think it's, I'm going to take a wild guess.
Is it Nichelle Nichols?
No, it is Esther Rolle.
Oh my God.
Damn, damn, damn.
Okay, so if they haven't been on the show directly, there's a connection.
There's a connection, yeah.
Well, that was very good.
That was Esther Rolle? What's the backstory on that? It's a gospel album. there's a connection. There's a connection, yeah. Wow. Well, that was very good. That was Esther Rowe.
What's the backstory on that?
There's a gospel album.
It's pretty generic.
She doesn't really work real hard on it.
No, no.
There's like a 50-second intro, and she just sort of pitches in there when she feels like it.
That's Florida Evans.
Yeah.
How about that, Gil?
Wow.
Now do you feel weird about being turned on by uh
by esther roll well no i always used to masturbate watch and in fact when i came
i would scream out dynamite in fairness he's aroused by egg rolls. It's true. It's true.
Wow, that was a good stumper.
I like how you set us up.
You gave us the easy one.
You lured us in with Burt Ward, and then you punched us right in.
Oh, the dynamics.
A lot of prep on this.
I love this.
I come in pre-produced.
You guys.
All right, track number three.
This has got to be easy. I think this is a fairly recent one.
Multi-time, multi-appearance guest.
Okay.
Track three.
Okay.
This is a guy from Trenton.
Hello, Robbie.
Hello.
Welcome home, Mr.
Yeah, we know who that is.
What is this?
I'll tell you.
I don't think Gil does.
He helps us book the show, Gil.
It's addressed to Mrs. Goldstein.
What a co-op, what a lobby.
Every slob is acting snobby.
But you take a tip from Robbie.
You should tip your doorman.
He brings used food to poker night.
He brings what?
Used food to poker night.
What slip up the lip is scary.
Richard Kahn.
Yes, it's Richard Kahn.
This is former
bangers. You didn't have to
ask twice.
This is from a documentary now.
Have you seen documentary now? Sure. Yeah, this is from
what was called Co-op,
which is a parody of D.A. Pennebaker's
documentary about
what was it? Oh, Sondheim.
Was John Mulaney involved in this? John Mulaney
wrote the lyrics. John Mulaney and Seth this? John Mulaney wrote the lyrics.
John Mulaney and Seth Meyers wrote that song.
Yes, I ran into them both together
at Ricky Jay's memorial service.
And they said, look out for this thing.
And I missed it.
And now you guys have brought me up to speed.
Richard's a genius.
It's so funny and it's so not jokey,
but it's hilarious.
They're committed to it. He's committed to it. He's not like, he even said not jokey, but it's hilarious. You know, they're committed to it.
He's committed to it.
He's not like, he even said like, he's not playing it for laughs, but it's so fucking
hilarious.
It's amazing.
They do a great job with that.
Funny man and versatile.
I mean, he can do anything, Richard.
God bless him.
All right.
I'm going to send this to him.
He'll get a kick out of this.
He yelled at me once because.
Why?
Because I said, uh, you know, that guy who's friends with George Clo clooney i described him that way in the podcast he's the greatest still in my life and then the next time
he was on he was talking about me he goes that fucking guy you're talking about wait a minute
wait a minute that fucking guy that fucking guy here's my favorite thing about richard he's telling
me how much he loves the show he sends he's he's been so encouraging and such a support to us he
sends an email every couple of weeks and and the best thing was that time we had to talk to him,
and he was going to call in, but he was on a plane.
Yes, yes, yes.
So good.
That was hilarious.
I'm there talking about blowjob.
God, with Mario.
Getting fucked in the ass.
And he said, like, everybody on the plane is listening.
Sorry, it didn't make it into the episode,
but I sent you guys on the plane is listening. So it didn't make it into the episode,
but I sent you guys on the side that whole moment,
but I enhanced his audio so you could actually hear.
Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.
And you could hear the people on the plane.
Oh, geez.
Oh, okay.
Is this bothering you?
Everyone in the back can hear it.
Oh, geez.
He says to me, I love the show.
I'm not paying for the mini episode.
He goes, fuck you.
Because Gilbert wouldn't pay if it was me.
Let me tell you.
I said, you got me there, Rich.
When I remember, I usually send him a link to the minis.
You do?
I do.
Oh, good.
That's nice of you.
He does a lot for the show.
I don't remember all the time, but every now and then I'll send him a bunch of minis so he can have them.
He has a great quote about Frank in the Orange Wedges thing on YouTube.
He says, what does he call you?
He calls you a sheep herder or something?
Yeah, yeah.
He pushes him back in. Gilbert gets out of control? He calls you a sheep herder or something? Yeah, yeah. He pushes them back in.
Gilbert gets out of control.
Hey, Ralph, I'm back in.
That's me.
I'm a fucking border collie.
He says, I'm a fucking border collie.
Yes.
Okay.
This is fun.
Okay.
Our next song is an actress.
What do we say about this?
Yeah.
She's been here.
She's been here.
Yes.
All right.
Here we go.
Let's hear it.
Her only record, I think, was a seven-inch.
Was it?
I know what this is.
I'm going to let Gilbert guess.
It was a seven-inch.
Then it became a nine-inch.
Easy.
You can hear her.
Two guests are connected to this song.
I'll tell you how.
Oh.
That's why we can't give you the name.
The B-side of this was called Max.
I didn't want to go that obvious.
Yeah.
Right.
That was 99.
Now, who else is this connected to? Former guest. Not former guest. Yeah. Right. That was 99. That was the eighth song. Now, who else is this connected to?
Former guest, not former guest, previous guest, Charles Fox.
Oh.
Conducted this.
Really?
Conducted this session.
Wow.
Yeah.
That was a great episode.
We brought it.
Wasn't he great?
Yeah, he's really something. Gilbert was so happy.
I got to sing two songs from Zapped with Charlie Fox.
Did you hear that one, Darren?
I did not.
You have to hear it.
I didn't even know Zapped was his.
I was amazed.
Yes.
His fingers are in everything, man.
He did a lot of things.
That was a turning point job for him because somebody who was present said, you know, you
ought to write film scores.
Yeah.
And I think through that, he got the job on Barbarella.
Yeah.
If I'm not mistaken.
And he said like- the incident, maybe.
The only people familiar with the score to zap are me and the Philippines.
And Scott Baio's mom.
Scott Baio's mom.

All right, we got another one for you.
This is a classic.
This is a good one.
This should be a very easy one to get.
This is Epic Records 1980.
The album is called Children of the World.
The Time is Now.
The song is number five called When a Child is Born.
I don't know if you'll recognize the voice, but it's not Johnny Matthews.
Yeah.
Yeah, well...
Gil, this shouldn't stop you.
All right.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Oh my God!
Way up high in the sky.
Here's some trivia.
This was produced by Bill Justice.
You know who Bill Justice is?
Can't say I do.
He had a song called Raunchy.
You know Raunchy.
I must.
I don't know Bill Justice.orge harrison favorite of 1960s they used to have hervey villages on all the shows singing diana shore
mostly yeah mike douglas uh merv griffin he was on merv he did why do people have to fight i use
that oh yes that's why do people have to fight i use used that as a sign-off on the last Ron Friedman episode.
That might be the same album.
It was some sort of charity song.
But he sounds a little bit like Eartha Kitt, I have to say.
Am I wrong?
Way hotter, though.
I am Catwoman.
I will get you, Batman.
Even though
I am a very sexy
Catwoman. Talk about a weird
boner.
I can just see him
with the little cat ears on now.
I can't get that out of my head now.
That's really disturbing.
Poor Irv. Who's up?
This is yours. You know this song?
Well, this guy has never been a guest.
No, but he's...
He's been mentioned a ton of times.
He's never not mentioned. He's been mentioned a shit ton.
A shit ton of times.
Alright, go ahead.
A remake of a famous film
from 1927.
I know what this is.
Oh, I'm sorry. I know what this is. We'll hear mine closer, Kevin. Oh, I'm sorry.
I know what this is.
This is from Bar Mitzvah.
It's...
You know, the funny thing is,
is you're really close on one level.
Gil, if you don't get this, we'll table it.
He's not really a singer.
Is he a singer?
No, but he did a Christmas record.
Oh, he did?
Yes, he did.
He did a Christmas album.
See, Daryl knows this shit.
I think he's one of those guys who usually knows a comic who sang in his act.
Yeah, like Jack Carter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lewis Cholm.
Yeah.
It's got a real hook, Gilbert.
It's what they would call almost like a hooker.
Yeah.
Oh, jeez.
I heard his last album was shitty, and it really dropped.
Oh, wait.
Danny Thomas?
Yes, Danny Thomas. Danny Thomas? Yes, Danny Thomas.
Danny Thomas?
This is Danny Thomas
doing Hushabye,
which is from the jazz singer.
The remaker.
He remade the jazz singer.
Oh, yes, I know that.
And he's not even a Jew, right?
Yes, he's an Arab.
He's an Arab.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Lebanese.
Yeah, see, this is his revenge
on the Jews.
Is he Lebanese, like Jamie Farr?
I think he is.
Yeah, I think he is. Yeah, I think he is.
Yeah, I believe so.
Wow, how about that?
God bless him.
Okay.
You guys have done yeoman work here.
Number seven.
I can't tell you the name of the song because that's another dead giveaway.
This is a guy who's been on the show.
I saw him at the East Coast Comic Con a couple weeks ago.
Anytime you're ready.
the East Coast Comic Con a couple weeks ago.
Anytime you're ready.
This song was also sampled by Fall Out Boy recently,
or part of this song.
It's kind of in a punk rock vein.
Yeah.
This is not it.
No, this is it. This is a weird, it's got a weird intro.
Oh, this is it?
Yeah.
It scared me.
This is it.
There we go.
It was also done by the Coma Teens in 1979.
A British band.
This is it. There we go.
It was also done by the Comatines in 1979.
A British band.
Well, it sounds like that, man.
Sounds like the Munsters.
Oh!
Yeah. Yeah.
It's called Whatever Happened To Eddie. Eddie.
Oh, yes. Yeah, I've heard this one.
We talked about this with Butch. Yeah. It's not
Butch Patrick.
It's Eddie and the Monsters
with an O, not the Munsters.
Right, right.
It's on Rockshire Records
in 1983, and there's a video
for it on
YouTube. Did Butch have anything to do with this?
No, it's him.
Oh, it's him.
They licensed the original, I forgot who wrote the Munsters track, but they licensed the theme song, on YouTube someplace. Did Butch have anything to do with this? No, it's him. Oh, it's him. It's him. Yeah.
Okay.
They licensed the original,
I forgot who wrote the Monsters track,
but they licensed the theme song.
Right.
And they just wrote lyrics to it.
I think, boy, that original Monsters song,
when you hear a good version of it,
when you don't hear one of those sound-alikes,
those sound-alike records,
that is really good.
Jack Marshall?
Yes, I think so, yes. It was also, like I said,
it was also sampled in a Fall Out Boy song that was a big hit like
two years ago. Song
called Uma Thurman, if you want to get mixed up in
meta. I'm enjoying this.
The Munsters actually did an album with the whole
cast singing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was called At Home
with the Munsters. Yeah, I think we played
something from that. Yes.
On a mini episode. And Milton DeLugg
actually did it. Milton DeLugg again.
And his band with a thug. David Yazbeck is the biggest Milton DeLugg actually did it. Milton DeLugg again. And his band with a thug.
David Yazbeck is the biggest Milton DeLugg fan
that you will ever meet.
He may be the only Milton DeLugg fan left.
He loves some Milton DeLugg.
Okay, the next one.
Who's up?
You?
This is a famous song.
Oh, okay.
Once again, somebody else who's never been on the show
but has talked about a gazillion times.
Famous song.
You know the song.
Oh.
Yeah, I think I got it.
Gilbert's going to slap himself when he realizes.
Gil, you have to know this.
Splat.
Come on, Gil.
Aren't you going to get it?
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Well, this song has a lot of juice.
It's sad when the listeners are 40 minutes ahead of Gilbert on the guessing.
I can vitamin C why this was a big hit.
Where did you guys dig this up?
This, he had an album.
He had an album.
Everybody from 1955 to 1968 put out an album of something.
I really think this should be the new theme.
Yeah.
Of the Colossal Obsessions?
Yes.
Yes.
Let's go down.
Who put out records that shouldn't have put out records,
besides people on this list?
There's the Jackie Gleason instrumental record.
Sure.
Those were big sellers.
Those were legit.
But Robert Mitchum's Calypso album.
Yes, I remember that one.
These are not Chris Chappan bits either.
These are actual albums.
Anthony Quinn.
Yeah.
Sebastian Cabot did a Dylan album.
He did.
He did.
And Nimoy.
And there's a bunch of them.
Oh, that Golden Throat stuff that Drew used to do.
Yeah.
There's a bunch.
Okay.
We're on track number nine.
This is a song.
This is not a podcast guest or former guest. This is
Columbia Records 1966.
This is a song
that Frank referenced
in Frank's record collection.
This is a little callback.
Here's a man who leads
a life of danger. But who is it?
Hang on, I know this.
Everyone he meets, he's
a stranger.
I said it that night Yes
I'm here to make your dreams come true
You said you wanted to get a hold of it
Yeah, because this is really bizarre
Is it Don Ho?
No
Oh, it's the Velvet Fog
Yes
He also did
I can't remember what I said on previous shows He did Pretty Flamingo on this album Oh, it's the Velvet Fog. Yes. He also did...
I can't remember what I said on previous shows.
He did Pretty Flamingo on this album
and Red Rubber Ball, the Paul Simon song that Circle did.
I love Pretty Flamingo.
He's also done Mellow Yellow.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Wow.
We got to hear a little more of that, Frank.
Yes, yes.
A little more of Mel Torme.
He's making it his own.
It kind of swings.
It does.
I'd say so.
You know,
some of his earlier songs,
he had like an R&B thing
going for a while
in the early 50s
where it was pretty cool stuff.
I still say Don Ho
should cover it.
I like this.
Me too.
Me too. Me too.
Well produced.
Who used to do them
on Second City?
Was it Rick Moranis?
Probably.
Yeah, he used to do
the Star Spangled Banner.
I remember Rick Moranis
doing Perry Como.
Perry Como, okay.
Perry Como is still alive.
That was pretty damn good.
I wonder if that was
Wrecking Crew musicians.
It might have been.
West Coast. West Coast.
West Coast.
Yeah.
Real good stuff.
This next one is, you can have this one.
This next one is probably the worst song I've ever heard.
The guy listens to the show so closely.
He sat down and he mapped this out based on things I said 20 episodes ago.
I just read the closed caption.
You got to respect Kevin Daugherty.
Yes.
The song was written by Shel Silverstein.
Okay, well, then I'm going to know it.
Okay, let's hear it.
I'm a Shel fan.
You will not know this song, but you will know it's two people.
Oh, daddy, what if the sun stopped shining?
Two people who can't fucking sing to save their lives.
Gilbert and me.
If the sun stopped shining, you'd be so surprised.
I know what this is.
You'd stare up at the heavens with wide open eyes.
Do I guess or do I wait for Gilbert to catch up?
Don't get him angry.
Don't get him angry. Don't get him angry.
Yeah.
It's from a TV series.
It's two actors who starred together in a primetime series on ABC.
Matt, this is important.
That's the one.
So who are the singers?
Bill Bixby.
And...
The immortal Brandon Cruz.
Future lead singer of the Dead Kennedys.
Seriously.
And didn't he have something to do with
South Park? I don't know.
Brandon Cruz. But he took over the late era
Dead Kennedys when Jello Biafra left.
He's like 45.
He became the singer of a punk band.
What is the name of this Shel Silverstein?
I can't believe this is Shel Silverstein.
This is called Daddy What If and he previously recorded it. He became the singer of a punk band. What is the name of this Shel Silverstein? I can't believe this is Shel Silverstein. This is called Daddy What If, and he previously recorded it.
This is the B-side to Best Friend, which is...
Harry Nielsen.
But Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz do a version of Best Friend,
which is completely unlistable.
Oh, I got to hear it now.
It's number...
I brought it along as a bonus track if you want to hear it.
Yeah, let's hear the bonus track.
Number 20, Mr. Verderossa.
Oh, Jordy Bay.
He's got a calliope in.
People didn't tell you about my best friend.
A warm-hearted person.
Poor Bill Bixby wasn't a singer.
Why?
Yeah. People didn't tell you about my best friend. I'm picturing J.P. wasn't a singer. Why? Yeah.
I'm picturing J.P. Morgan with a gun.
Well, you know, the Nielsen song was a repurposed Nielsen song.
Yes, they changed the lyrics, right?
Yeah.
But Bill Bixby, what a great actor and what a...
Terrible singer.
Yeah.
Also starred on Broadway in Bruce J. Friedman's Steam Bath.
He did, in fact.
Yes.
And in the PBS, or whatever that was.
And an accomplished director.
And that was very early TV nudity.
Yes, that was everybody's first...
Yeah.
If you're of a certain age.
Valerie Perrine.
Quick trivia that won't stump you guys.
What's the Bill Bixby series that lands between the courtship of Eddie's father and the Hulk?
The Magician.
Very good.
Very good.
I love The Magician.
All that exists apparently on YouTube is the credits, but it had a really good theme song.
It's one of those theme songs.
You'll hear the theme song and you'll go, oh, I remember that.
That is cool.
But all he ever did was, I mean, this is a visual medium, so he would just like throw
his, throw a curtain up and he disappeared.
It wasn't very effective.
He did have a Corvette, though.
I remember that.
We're Bill Bixby fans here.
Our next track is a duet.
A duet.
It is a Carly Simon cover.
This was on a major record label, London Records.
I know this one, too.
How do you like my new scar?
It's an easy one.
Who is this song about?
That was always the question.
Let's see if Gilbert can guess who's singing.
I put this on Facebook before.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
Why not?
Because I just told you, I'm the only one who can wear apricot.
You walked into my party like you were walking onto a yacht.
What?
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye.
Your scarf, it was a good watch.
Africa.
Yes, Africa.
You had one eye in the mirror.
Come on, Gil, I've played this for you.
As you watched yourself gavotte.
Gavotte.
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner.
They'd be your partner and you're so vain.
What are you saying?
What are you talking about?
You probably think this song is about you.
You're so vain.
It's sung by a couple.
A couple?
That's odd.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think you're going crazy.
I don't know who the chorus is.
Maybe it's somebody's ex-wife.
The chorus could be the pigeons.
The chorus is Al Molinara.
It's Klugman and Randall doing Your So Bane.
Yes, it is
The Odd Couple Sings album
Gilbert looks like he was just stabbed
Oh my god
Gilbert do you smell burning toast
He just made the face
Oswald made when Ruby put the
Headgun in his ribcage
The rest of the album is
Oh my god
You would think the album is all going to be like remakes and hits, but it's like the
only recognizable song is this, you know, Is You're So Vain, which is obviously a hit
for Carly Simon.
Poor Carly Simon.
Wow.
That she hits...
Somebody had to subject her to that.
And who sings backup on the original Carly Simon version?
Do you know?
Yeah, Mick Jagger.
Yeah, it's so obvious when you hear it, but I never knew that for years.
And when you hear it, you can't unhear Mick Jagger.
It's almost a duet.
It's an amazing thing. Well, of course, there that for years. And when you hear it, you can't unhear Mick Jagger. It's almost a duet. It's an amazing thing.
Well, of course.
There's been a mystery for decades about who it is.
Supposedly Beatty.
It's about Gilbert.
Yes.
It could have been about Gilbert.
Wow, that's...
That's scary.
I can't believe it took you so long.
I can't believe they did a whole album.
They did an album.
And a major label, London Records.
That's really the only one that I know that I posted on Facebook. What else
was on the LP? Oh no, that's what I was saying. It's just
drivel. It's custom songs. It's probably
just nothing there. They were going
for the hit. So we're going to stop
here and we're going to make, this is too much fun
and I don't want to cut you guys short. Oh, stop.
I don't want to cut you off the knees because it's too much gold.
So, we're
going to stop here and we're going to
plug next week's show. we're going to plug part two
With Kevin Daugherty
And Daryl, you want to try that one?
Larry Mayeski
Larry
Larry
Larry
How do you read Daryl
And say Larry
How do you
Is it a new heart tribute? How do you read Daryl and say Larry? Howdy appointment, puffer. Is it a new heart tribute?
Howdy.
All right, so we'll do the plugs in the next episode.
We'll plug the magazine and we'll do all the other stuff.
But it's so good that we have to bring you back next week.
Otherwise, it's going to be a 55-minute mini episode.
If nothing else, I want to hear that odd couple.
You're so vain again.
No, I'm leaving.
Sorry.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.
Sign us off.
We'll come back.
We'll make people wait a week.
Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal obsessions.
Thank you, boys.
Thank you, sirs.
