Did anyone notice that on the label, Walter's name is spelled Water ?

LOL you're right! Musta been a typo

Used to play this on a 'Classic Rock' station in Philly I jocked at in the late sixties. It was always a hit.

Far out!! What station?

So, someone else has heard of this record, too?!? One of my favorites, if your copy has "It's Warts On The Flipside That Counts" on the B side, check it out, if it doesn't, send me a message...

Love is not blind - love is nearsighted. LOL!  Thanks for posting

@zachdanasmith whoops! sorry,no disrespect intended. i'm not sure where i got david. i've heard dr. demento say his name so many times i'm surprised i made that mistake. i've always loved your father's off the wall humor. we need more people like him in the world today.

@weenielongus The only reason I heard it, is this is my dad!

[GaderineInsomniac]

I listened to his song over and over; drove my folks nuts saying, "Ribbit!" (or was that "knee deep?). He inspired my friend to attend disc jockey school in CA. Some years ago he and I struck up a brief correspondence via email (pre Facebook!). He found out i was a cartoonist and he asked if I could draw him lifting weights, or body building, or something. He said he liked the drawing! Yay! He also told me his career included many character voices for anime cartoons. Great guy!
