Smothers Brothers- The Saga of John Henry

[GingerGeek95]

Once my cd got stuck on this song and it whet, "WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP" for almost 10 minutes! It was the greatest day of my life!

From the sounds of the comments here it looks like i wasn't the only kid who played this album into the ground....... goodness that was an awesome decade!!!!! These guys were funnier than almost anyone except Jon Stewart these days. Sigh..... the memories!!

[potentialavalanche]

@altareggo You definitely aren't the only kid who has; I'm 18 and I enjoy and respect these guys! They're true pioneers of comedy with an agenda. Speaking of which, I do love Colbert and Stewart as well.

@potentialavalanche 22 yrs old, Love these guys. I was born in the wrong decade.

Steve Martin worked with them, writing TV. I listened to their LPs growing up in the '60s. One of the best nights of my life was about 5 years ago, when I saw these two live in Las Vegas. I got to personally meet them both, after the show (for some reason I was hanging out, talking to the sound man); and they are terrific! It was me, my mom, her husband, and my sister. Anyway, we spoke with them for about 10 minutes and I'll never forget that! Wonderfully nice men.

John Henry said, "Tell me something captain."

[Rejukem]

Then went over and spit on the captain

Before I die, not only am I going to get me a steam drill too (Lord, Lord) -- I'm going to listen to this again. Maybe drink a gimlet or two, too.

LOVE the race "wop, wop, wopping" and the lady that laughs SO hard!! You can't help but laugh, too!! Had this album myself years ago!

[fubleduck]

All dogs in town HATED john Henry.. The memories of that album.

[bianine315]

I grew up with their "Live...at the Purple Onion". I played it to death. I guess THAT'S the reason why I am who I am...lol

My dad had this album when I was growing up and I used to love listening to it. I probably haven't heard this song in 35 years. The last time I heard it, I didn't know why it was funny that his sweat ran off in "gimlets". Thanks for posting.

[beanielynne]
