Shangri Las - Leader of the Pack Shangri Las - Leader of the Pack

Possibly the greatest of the Brill Building classics. Someone put this up awhile back but it disappeared, so here it is again. Robert Goulet was just goofing around but Steve Allen put down rock and roll every chance he could. Well, he's gone now and Mary Weiss is still singing. So there.

Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947) Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947)
Posted by: voxpopulai

Video duration: 218 seconds

This clip gives us a rare and wonderful look at Spike Jones hilarity, with the added delight of seeing Mickey Katz (the short, bald guy playing clarinet) goofing around with the band and even doing his trademark "glugg-glugg". Mickey went on from there to write his Yiddish parodies and the rest is history,

Hanukkah in Santa Monica by Tom Lehrer Hanukkah in Santa Monica by Tom Lehrer

Video duration: 108 seconds

Whoever originally put this video together did a great job, but the audio was out of sync, so I fixed that, and changed a few slides, so I hope y'all like it. It's a modern classic by the great Tom Lehrer.

Annie Ross - Twisted (1959) Annie Ross - Twisted (1959)

Video duration: 180 seconds

Actress and singer Annie Ross set some hipster jive to a Wardell Grey sax solo and Twisted became a jazz classic. Along with fellow singers Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks (who sit this one out) the trio Lambert Hendricks and Ross recorded a number of hit albums in the early 60s and is generally regarded as the greatest Jazz vocal group of all time.

Allan Sherman - Harvey and Sheila Allan Sherman - Harvey and Sheila

Video duration: 226 seconds

Could this be one of the greatest parodies of all time? Compare the beginning to Harry Belafonte's recording of Hava Nagila and you'll see that Sherman was inspired by the original Belafonte version. Hey, it's BETTER than the original IMO. I did the video myself. No big deal, but I hope you enjoy it.

Nichols & May \ Nichols & May 'Telephone Operator' Sketch
Posted by: voxpopulai

Video duration: 426 seconds

The greatest comedy duo of all time? It depends whether you go for brainy (Nichols and May) or bawdy (Reiner and Brooks). This classic early 60s Nichols and May sketch about a guy losing his last dime in the payphone is beyond brilliant. (Thanks to BettyByte for digging up the lost footage...I re-synced the audio and added the missing first part from the record.)

Video duration: 400 seconds

One of the best of the Borsht Belt comics of the 1960s. He did a lot of 'insult humor', which inspired many imitators such as Don Rickles, but Jack E. Leonard did it better.
