"The Flying Saucer" is one of the most audacious records I ever heard. Being a '50s music fan, I already knew the tunes being "sampled", but I was impressed with how creatively they were used. The comedy timing they had was superb.
Goodman on his own continued the tradition in the 1970s, spoofing then contemporary culture. He had a top 40 hit with "Energy Crisis '74" and a top 10 hit with "Mr. Jaws". And he wrote and produced a blaxploitation parody called "Superfly Meets Shaft", which was credited to "John and Ernest".
