Yeah, this is great! Next to the Linda Lindas, this is my second great discovery in the past few days. Got the albums - looking for the t-shirts. Thanks!

About 8 minutes and 15+ minutes in... About 6+ minutes in... About 52+ minutes in...

Nice to see an interesting breakdown of the two tunes here, but I can assure you that there’s not “a lot of confusion” here about those songs. My comment comes from the fact that, sometimes, for a second or so, my brain seems to want to favor Spartacus...probably because the John Young Trio version was often used as a “theme” song - usually as a closer - to a jazz radio show in Chicago in the late 60s/early 70s that I grew up listening to regularly. Plus, my mother played this album, Themes and Things, quite often (well, she played lots of things often).

It’s amazing how talented Eddie Haskell was.

Hey, just blame it on the bossa nova.

Just administer some bossa novocaine and everything will be all right.

Does this come in Rhubarb Pi?
