The Wonderful World of Chemistry - DuPont - 1964 New York World's Fair

Wow. The "Industrial," as they were once known, is scarcely a memory to most people, but were once a tremendous source of easy income for composers such as Michael Brown ("Lizzie Borden") and Marshall Barer ("Once Upon A Mattress") and countless young performers. This is great!

Thanks so much for posting this. I was born too late to see 1964-'65, so it's great to see such wonderful cheesiness archived.

I can only hope some of the pavilions at next year's world's fair are this deranged.

Such wonderful memories!! Michael Brown, David Carter, the best. If I could stop sobbing for a moment I might think of something else to say.................guess not !!

Such wonderful, over the top music. Michael Brown and Norman Paris are amazing!

There are plastics in your toaster!

I am not kidding. At 0:11, I had a smile from ear to ear. At 1:22, I was flat out laughing out loud. At 3:16 I was enraptured. At 4:17, tears of laughter were running down my face. Absolute nirvana for me. This was AWESOME! Thanks a ton for doing this. I don't know why but that music brought a wonderful, strange mix of cynicism and joy to me as a kid.

Ha! I haven't heard that opening song in years, but I remembered the whole thing. Hope someone from DuPont sees this.
