Vic Venus-Moonflight 1969

Jack Spector worked at WMCA in New York when he recorded this little ditty for Buddah Records in 1969. This Dickie Goodman type recording spoofed the NASA moon craze in the late 60's, really rare. Enjoy!

Thanks SO MUCH for posting this. I, too, have been trying to remember this song, as I get ready to turn 50! Brought back many fab memories of summertime and AM radio.

I got a couple of years before 50 but I know what you mean. AM radio is missed by many of us.

This is great. I have this on CD, and I STILL have the 45 on Buddah records. I remember this from my childhood...listening to this and the Royal Guardsmen's the Smallest Astronaut as we went to the moon. Great "Cheer On" songs.

I still have this on 45 as well and many more that label. You should post the smallest astronaut; I don't have that one.

Happy Moonlanding Everybody on this the 40th anniversary! Vic Venue could very well have been an astronaut..instead..he was one of the best DJ's ever!

Thanks for posting garageband66!

I was wondering if anyone would view this song on the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.

On the 42nd anniversary of man stepping on the moon, I must say, this "song" is as lame as it was in 1969.

This idea has be used before using snippets of Jerry Lee Lewis' Sun Records tracks, it's called "The Retturn Of Jerry Lee"

I heard according to Billboards top100 book that this DJ actually died while doing his show on a Long Island oldies station back in the 90s.

Unlike Buchanan & Goodman my main man Jake used all songs from the same stable of labels with Buddah and sub labels Curtom etc.Rip Jack one of New York city,s most beloved air personalities who actually passed away on the air doing a show on a long island radio station.

@garageband66 I did post the Smallest Astronaut. Just check my uploded videos. I put pics of the Apollo and Snoopy Moon related pics. As far as I am concerned, Moonflight and The Smallest Astronaut are companion pieces. They were out about the same time and accomplished the same thing.

I did post the Smallest Astronaut. Look for it in my uploaded videos. As far as I am concerned, this one and the Smallest Astronaut are companion pieces. They were both out at the same time and acomplished the same thing.
