* The 6 Minute ISGD Pre-Show
Tuned Sheep - Stan Freberg
Theater Of The Mind - {Stan Freberg} Stan Freberg featuring Donavan Freberg / Tip Of The Freberg
* Stan Freberg made a career with his comical and satirical takes on the
* production of commercials on television and radio as well as voicing
* some of the animated productions of movies and television in the middle
* of the 20th century, plus, he was also a recording comedian of the 50s
* and early 60s.
* Stan Freberg died of natural causes at a Santa Monica hospital on April
* the 7th.
* Freberg was a pioneer of injecting humor into real commercials after
* he began making fun of them by producing fake commercials for bogus
* products on his 50s radio show The Stan Freberg Show, and making fun
* of the pop culture institutions of the day.
* He described himself as a “guerilla satirist.”
* Freberg's inspirations were Jack Benny, Fred Allen and Norman Corwin.
* Stan Freberg (born Stanley Friberg; August 7, 1926 – April 7, 2015) was
* an American author, recording artist, animation voice actor,
* comedian, radio personality, puppeteer and advertising creative director,
* whose career began in 1944. He remained active in the industry into his late
* 80s, more than 70 years after entering it.
* He began at Warner Brothers in 1944 after talents in Hollywood arranged
* a successful audition to be a voice actor for that company's cartoon
* productions.
* Freberg's cartoon voicing works include several for Warner Brothers,
* such as Roughly Squeaking (1946) as Bertie; The Goofy Gophers as Tosh,
* and often was paired with Mel Blanc as they voiced pairs of cartoons such
* as mice Hubie and Bertie, and dogs Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier.
* He also did some voices of Beaky Buzzard and Junyer Bear.
* His only screen credit for a cartoon was for The Three Little Bops in 1957,
* the feature where he famously played the three pigs, the wolf and the singing
* narrator.
* Set 1:
Three Little Bops - Warner Brothers Cartoon featuring Stan Freberg w/ Shorty Rogers And His Orchestra / That's All Folks
* Stan began making satirical recordings for Capitol Records, and in 1951, his
* first, "John and Marsha" was released. In 1955, a seasonal recording, "The
* Night Before Christmas"/"Nuttin' for Christmas" was released.
* With Daws Butler and June Foray, Freberg produced his 1951 Dragnet parody,
* "St. George and the Dragonet", a No. 1 hit for four weeks in October 1953.
* On the record's B-side was "Little Blue Riding Hood".
* Some of his other recordings included the satires "Sh-Boom", "The Yellow Rose
* of Texas", "Rock Island Line", "The Great Pretender", "Banana Boat (Day-O)",
* and the spoof of Elvis Presley's record, "Heartbreak Hotel".

* Stan's recordings of the early 1950s were so popular that he landed his own
* radio program in 1954, called "That's Rich," and three years later, he had
* another radio show, The Stan Freberg Show on CBS Radio, where he regularly
* mocked commercials by advertising bogus products.
* Stan Freberg tacked political issues of the day on his radio show where he
* did a sketch paralleling the Cold War brinkmanship between the U.S. and Cuba.
* He also parodied Senator Joseph McCarthy and perhaps many others.
* Freberg skewered the advertising industry with his production of "Green Christmas"
* in 1958, which attacked the over commercialization of Christmas. He also produced
* another Christmas satire, "Yulenet", doing another take on the series Dragnet.
* In 1960, in the heat of the payola scandal, Freberg produced the two-sided
* "The Old Payola Roll Blues", telling the story of a corrupt recording studio
* promoter who gets a teenager who cannot sing to record a song, which would then
* be used to bribe a jazz station disc jockey to play the song on the air, but
* the disc jockey refuses in the sketch.
* Set 4:

* Volume One: The Early Years" telling the story of American history from his point
* of view from 1492 until 1783. In 1996, Stan released a sequel, "Stan Freberg
* Presents The United States of America, Volume Two."
* On radio, The Stan Freberg Show was a 1957 replacement for Jack Benny on CBS
* radio. The satirical show, which featured elaborate production, included most of
* the team he used on his Capitol recordings, including Foray, Leeds, and Butler.

* On Television, beginning in 1949, Freberg and Butler provided voices and were
* the puppeteers for Bob Clampett's puppet series, Time for Beany. Freberg made
* television guest appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and other TV variety shows,
* usually with Orville the Moon Man, his puppet from outer space. Freberg had
* his own ABC special, Stan Freberg Presents the Chun King Chow Mein Hour: Salute
* to the Chinese New Year (February 4, 1962), but he garnered more laughs when
* he was a guest on late night talk shows.
* When Freberg introduced satire to the field of advertising, he revolutionized
* the industry, influencing staid ad agencies to imitate Freberg by injecting
* humor into their previously dead-serious commercials. Freberg's long list of
* successful ad campaigns includes Butternut Coffee, Contadina Tomato Paste,
* Jeno's Pizza Rolls, Sunsweet Pitted Prunes, Heinz Great American Soups,
* Encyclopedia Britannica, Chun King, and many others which are also considered
* classics by critics.
* In his autobiography, It Only Hurts When I Laugh, Freberg recounts much of his
* life and early career, including his encounters with such show business legends
* as Milton Berle, Frank Sinatra and Ed Sullivan, and the struggles he endured
* to get his material on the air.
* He had brief sketches on KNX (AM) radio in the mid-1990s, beginning each with
* "Freberg here!" In one sketch, Freberg mentioned that the band played "Inhale
* to the Chief" at Bill Clinton's inauguration.
* Freberg was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1995. From 1995
* until October 6, 2006, Freberg hosted When Radio Was, a syndicated anthology
* of vintage radio shows.[33] The release of the 1996 Rhino CD The United States
* of America Volume 1 (the Early Years) and Volume 2 (the Middle Years) suggests
* a possible third volume.
