Wade sez, “The Scar Stuff blog has posted a link to fan-created mp3s of all eight versions of the 1979 MAD Magazine song ‘It’s A Super-Spectacular Day’. The song came on a flexi-disk stapled into the magazine. The disk had multiple grooves so you’d hear a different version depending on where you dropped the needle. Obsessed kids everywhere spent HOURS trying to place the needle just so, in order to hear all eight endings in which the ‘super-spectacular day’ went horribly wrong. I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing that we don’t have to work for it anymore, but it’s great to hear the song(s) again.”
I loved this flexidisc when it came out! Man, this is great!
(Thanks, Wade!)
