The Vault of Silliness is open. As I stroll around inside, this tape caught my eye.
A Dumb Birthday game from August 3rd, 1991.
I have titled this one: The Eyes (that's e-y-e-s), The Eyes Have It.
It begins with the theme music I would play before we had a ‘real’ song.
There weren’t many well-known people born on this day, so we dive into the rest of the week to fill out the game.
The cast of characters includes:
Judy from Needham
The whispery George from Pepperell
The ‘eye-catching’ Constance from Weymouth
Scott in Peabody
I’m producing and on the phone from the control room
And Jack Harte in Traffic
Birthdays with all the SFX:
Martin Sheen
Tony Bennett
Lonnie Andersen
Robert Mitchum
Dustin Hoffman
Esther Williams
Melanie Griffith – now the jokes that ensue here are based on a national news story at the time. I’ll leave out the details and let the comedy slice its way to your funny bone.
Lastly, we have Keith Carradine
There’s yet another round of accusations that could result in a Birthday-ola/Dumb Birthday-gate scandal.
Commercials:
Joan Cantwell for Gold Bond
Keep It In Your Sneaker
Dr. Howard Smith Promo!
Norm reads one for LoJack
Sears Siding
WBZ Promo for Patriots Football (Gil Santos and Gino Cappeletti)
Steve Allen for Resolve Stop-Smoking Kit
A very EYE-opening Dumb Birthday Game begins…now.
