One of the greats. No one approached advertising like Freberg.

To wit, his renowned ad for "Great American Soup" featuring Ann Miller:

"What you mean, 'discover us?'  We discover you on beach here!"

Truly a singular talent... he had an exceptional sense of the absurd while simultaneously
remaining grounded in quotidian reality.

And you certainly know this little Sarah Vaughn ditty -- an old Dave Morey fave.

"What you mean, 'discover us?'  We discover you on beach here!"

It's:  "What you mean 'You discover us?  We discover you, on beach here.  It's all how you look at it."

This album was indelibly etched into my whole family's consciousness from as early as I can remember, and many, many lines became a sort of shorthand, including the last part:  It's all how you look at it.

You all MUST to listen to this much at least, whence cometh the above quote.
