Oh.
I must be misremembering. Didn't Snoopy say that after the birds had their contentious election and the littlest bird won? This was around 1964.

In 1968, there was an election strip where Snoopy's favorite candidate was a bird holding a sign with a dog paw print. There was a collection in the "Peanuts Parade" series in the '70s and '80s that included the aformentioned 1956 strip that was titled Always Stick up for the Underbird and it did have Snoopy and a line of the birds on the cover. I'm glad, BTW, to have another "Peanuts" pal on LW.

Thank you, Rocky. I feel the same. "Peanuts" was definitely something special.

"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some Peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."

(All)
At last we are to meet him,
The famous Captain Spaulding.
From climates hot and scalding,
The Captain has arrived.
Most heartily we'll greet him,
With plain and fancy cheering.
Until he's hard of hearing.
The Captain has arrived.
At last - The Captain has arrived.
(Hives)
Mr. Horatio W. Jamison, Field Secretary to Captain Spaulding.
(Jamison)
I represent the Captain who insists on my informing you of these conditions under
which he camps here.
In one thing he is very strict, he wants his women young and picked and as for men,
he won't have any tramps here.
(All)
As for men he won't have any tramps here,
There must be no tramps.
(Jamison)
The men must all be very old,
The women warm, the champagne cold.
It's under these conditions that he camps here.
(Voice off Screen)
I'm announcing Captain Jeffery Spaulding.
(All)
He's announcing Captain Jeffery Spaulding,
Oh dear, he is coming,
At last he's here.
(Spaulding)
Hello, I must be going,
I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going.
I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going.
La La.
(Mrs. Rittenhouse)
For my sake you must stay.
If you should go away,
You'd spoil this party I am throwing.
(Spaulding)
I'll stay a week or two,
I'll stay the summer thru,
But I am telling you,
I must be going.
(All)
Before you go,
Will you oblige us,
And tell us of your deeds so glowing?
(Spaulding)
I'll do anything you say,
In fact I'll even stay!
(All)
Good!
(Spaulding)
But I must be going.
(Jamison)
There's something that I'd like to say,
That he's too modest to relay.
The Captain is a moral man.
Sometimes he finds it trying.
(Spaulding)
This fact I emphasize with stress,
I never take a drink unless - Somebody's buying.
(All)
The Captain is a very moral man.
(Jamison)
If he hears anything obscene, He'll naturally repel it.
(Spaulding)
I hate a dirty joke I do,
Unless it's told by someone who -
Knows how to tell it.
(All)
The Captain is a very moral man.
Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African explorer.
(Spaulding)
Did someone call me Shnorrer?
(All)
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.
(Jamison)
He went into the jungle where all the monkeys throw nuts.
(Spaulding)
If I stay here I'll go nuts.
(All)
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.
He put all his reliance, In courage and defiance,
And risked his life for science.
(Spaulding)
Hey, hey.
(Mrs. Rittenhouse)
You are the only white man to cover every acre.
(Spaulding)
I think I'll try and make her.
(All)
Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.
He put all his reliance, In courage and defiance,
And risked his life for science.
(Spaulding)
Hey, hey.
(All)
Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African explorer.
He brought his name undying fame
And that is why we say, Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.
(Spaulding attempts to speak)
My friends, I am highly gratified at this magnificent display of effusion and I want
you to know.........
(All)
Hooray for Captain Spaulding, The African explorer.

I heart Groucho Marx.
He's Roger Stern's all-time favorite comedian, BTW.

Allegedly, one of Groucho's best friends during his final years was Alice Cooper.

I've heard that. I can picture it; Alice has a great sense of humor.

Yeah. And even though his comeback single "Poison" and its parent album "Trash" weren't as good as his early 70s work, I have a sentimental spot for them because I was in my mid-teens when they came out.

Even weak Alice is still better than so much of the Preppie Metal of the time.

Hee hee hee hee. I loved the Preppie Metal. It was so unpretentious, so catchy, and it was sung and played by cute long-haired guys. And it gave Alice, as well as other old-timers like Aerosmith and Whitesnake, a second wind.

Wasn't Alice Cooper somehow connected with Pat Boone's leather period?

I just hope that if Pat Boone makes it to Heaven, Alan Freed is waiting there to slap him in the head with a big fish.

I wonder if dedman avoids movies involving fish, just on principle.

Rocky, if I recall correctly, Alice introduced Boone's "metal" persona at an awards show, but I don't think it went any further than that.
Cleome, amen to that.

Whatever it was, it was weird. I actually like some of Pat Boone's music from the '50s, but I do like traditional pop. I'm not a fan of heavy metal at all, but even I thought Pat Boone singing those songs was pretty silly, but then, he has often shown questionable judgment.

Questionable judgement indeed. Have you seen how he looked in the 70s when he had long hair? And I usually LIKE long hair on guys.
