"Stan has been doing historical satire for many years, and regular listeners to his
1957 Freberg CBS radio series will no doubt remember his riotous take-offs...  Over the past decade, master satirist Stan Freberg has beenmaking quite a bit of history on his own, not only as a star of radioand TV, but as the man who actually pioneered the now-booming field of comedy recording. For it was the tremendous success of such Frebergian funnies as St. George and the Dragonet,The Yellow Rose of Texas, and the controversial Yuletide classicGreen Chri$tma$ which opened the floodgates for the current rash of hi-fi humo r for the home. More recently he has extended his talents to the world of advertising, where he has been setting Madison Avenue on its grey flannel ear with his brilliant comedy commercials for both radio and T.V." |
