When I was 13 my mom treated me with Castoria after I had a loss of appetite for a week and a little nausea. Turned out I had appendicitis, and it wound up rupturing. I was admitted to the hospital with 103+ temp and peritonitis. Good ol Castoria.... for what ails ya...
Gotta love any song that has the word "bowels" smack in the middle of it. " . . . opens his BOOOWWELLLLSSS . . . " A light, lilting melody about a laxative. Fucking priceless. Let's favorite this one right now, shall we?
Written in 1924 using the text of an ad in the Saturday Evening Post for the benefit of his pals at the Eastman School of Music. From a live concert April 27, 1989, 95th birthday tribute, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
For those of you who missed the experience of being fed it as a child, Castoria looked, smelled and tasted like someone crossed warm Jagermeister with used 10W40 motor oil.

Cool, it's a new way of advertising! It makes people feel like it's part of everyone's destiny, thus making them have a urge to buy it!

He wrote these in the 1920s I believe - he took various newspaper and magazine advertisements and set the ad copy to music.

This is an extraordinary virtuoso at the peak of his powers. I flew from Venice to Johannesburg just to catch his opening night.
