Elderly Man River- Stan Freberg and Daws Butler

[TheCheezhead15]

True even today with the Nanny State

[thexalon]

The line that Stan gives up on:

"You gets a little drunk and you lands in jail"

I'm sure you can see why, keeping in mind the tiny tots.

[1974kelvo]

just love this, has taken me ages to find it anywhere - not heard it for many years.

[mahthah]

"You forgot to say 'thank you', Mr. Freberg!...." LMAO

[Ninure]

Would you believe that folks have been complaining about "PC" language - at least - since 1957?

[MsBkirk]

I never knew political correctness was around in those days too!

[Edisonfans19]

That's just too much!

[MrSparky3976]

Why cant the sensors do this to rap music? Would drive the singers nuts!

[muppetlover16]

@MrSparky3976 Mr. Tweedly-Daws Butler (like Jeff Moss) Singer-Stan Freberg (like Jerry Nelson/Rick Lyon)

[louswire]

PC crap... recognized for what it was ... 50 yrs ago...

[soylentteal]

Political correctness, the slimy enemy of art (and sanity in general) is brilliantly anticipated by decades here.

[mrtimetime123]

you will here him say it about the 420 mark if anyone can help me understand what he got past thanks

[nir0bateman]

@mrtimetime123

He means that, despite all silly revisions made necessary by the censor, the line "Body's all aching and wracked with pain", which is pretty graphic, still made it past him.

So, he "got past that one".

[kludge1977]

@mrtimetime123

I've always understood it to mean that "Achin'" was not proper grammar and Tweedly didn't notice.

[mrtimetime123]

the only thing i dont understand about this is the part where he says we got past that one what is it that it should be can any one tell me that please and thanks if you can under stand my ?? please help me thanks

[Elric33239]

I was hoping someone would post this classic! Political Correctness as only an innovator like Stan Freeberg would present it! Thanks.

Does anyone have Stan's 'Bang Gunleigh, US Marshal Field'?

The sketch where the ads had more action than the early cowboy TV shows.

'It sure looks like someone cut through that fence alright.'

[MrJaybeetee]

@Britcomsarebest Hi.. I have this on tape that I took off the radio program back in the '50s. Let me know if you didn't get it and I'll dig it out of my old tapes. Jay

[Samalabear]
