(Cont'd from my post on Part 2) The marionette show at the Woodrow Wilson Museum had quick-changing backgrounds on the puppet stage. I remember in this part, they had Indian marionettes and a "chorus line" of Indians did the "Broadway dance" number. (Again, this was 1981, when no one had heard of Political Correctness yet.)

Does anyone remember the Salada Tea commercials with the gypsys? It ran for weeks on the radio each installment was so funny I used to eat my breakfast and listen to the commercial before going to school, it always started my day off happily thank you Mr Stan Freberg!!

In the Army, we sat around in Germany *high* tripping out over this album. I had never heard it before, but in your mind you could see the dancers, orchestra and voice actors.

"Geez, Charlie, you knocked that whole load of tea in the water!" LOL!

This is available on cd and is a must purchase. I hope that presenting this on You Tube is not denying Mr. Freberg any income. He has earned 21 Cleos, that's equal to 21 Oscars in advertising. He is a living legend and is the father of the satirical ad. I must confess Stan Freberg helped me pass American History in High School and College. I am a big fan. Time to share this at a DAR meeting. Any takers?

@EdWaldrup Remember That Add He made for the Airline for people who're afraid to fly? No actual Airline used that campaign, but it was comic genius.
