"Gee whiz, guys!" sobbed tunesmith Johnny Mercer yesterday when inducted into the prestigious Hall Of Foam© by genial show host Farquhar Throckmorton III [above right - Ed.]. "This is what I worked for all my career! All my life!"
The Four Or Five Guys© packed into the Foam-O-Drome© burst into applause when Kreemé [19 my ass - Ed.] read his name from the envelope, adding heartfelt cries of "Whipping Post!", "Yo! Kreemé!", and "Who?"
To celebrate, Johnny's giving away this limited edition three-disc Mosaic Select set of his recordings. Eighty furshlugginer hits - any one of which is worth more than everything you've done in your entire life! Is it ever swell!

You want these? Talk about cake.
ReplyDeleteNot Mercer, Mercer, Me? Smart move by Marvin to change it...
ReplyDelete"Short Skirt/Long Jacket"? It's got a good beat and I you can dance to it...
Yellow cake?!? Come on now, Colin Powell makes one mistake (yeah, a huge fucking mistake).
ReplyDeleteWatch out where the huskies slake, don’t you eat that yellow cake
DeleteProbably a question for pmac. In the Big Easy is a stereo made of cake called a gateau blaster?
ReplyDeleteAnd Farq, it's worrying the way Alfred floats around the cover.
It's not Alfred!
DeleteA young Prince Charles?
DeleteClose! It was puppet companion to T.V.'s Buffalo Bob - Howdy Doody!
DeleteLol. That would be a cake made in SW La - Lafayette.
DeleteI should've known Howdy. I watched as a kid.
Delete"Late in the Evening, There's a Glow Below the Horizon, and I Know Deep in my Heart... It's Your Birthday Cake."
ReplyDeleteCheers ObeyGravity

ReplyDeleteIt's easy to bake
Now give us the music
For Mercer's sake!
Cake, the band? Don't know nothing about 'em...
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, whadda ya mean, we yelled "Whipping Post"? We yelled "Freebirds" as usual.
ReplyDeleteIf, however the whipping somehow involves Kreemé, we might reconsider...
ReplyDeleteWith apologies for th' unseemly tardiness!
