More fun with Lawrence Welk
Lawrence Welk meets the Velvet Underground!!! Wunnerful, wunnerful.
One Toke Over the Line, Sweet Jesus…
Here’s the Lawrence Welk version of this song that I mentioned in the last show. They obviously had no idea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye3ecDYxOkg
Of all the luck…
“A 1938 comic book featuring the debut of Superman that was discovered in the wall of an abandoned house could set a new auction record, a dealer has said. Action Comics #1, currently bid at $137,000 (£88,000), had been packed in the insulation of a house in Minnesota.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22663886

Pancho’s Notes for Death Race 2000

Well, the first minute is certainly weird enough: a high school band plays the Star Spangled BannerContinue reading “Pancho’s Notes for Death Race 2000”
