THIS WAY OUT
the international gay & lesbian radio magazine
RUNDOWN for Program #998, distributed 05/14/07
(hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle)
[There is no "NewsWrap" segment on this program]
The legendary American DJ known as "Doctor Demento" raised audio
kitsch to an art form. As "Nurse Pimento," the late gay activist and radio
producer David Fradkin added his own kind of spice to pursuing the
peculiarities of popular culture. We've assembled his queer collection on
this
week's special program that David called
"STRANGER THAN STRAIGHT"

SEGMENT #1 - "STRANGER THAN STRAIGHT"/PART ONE features some uniquely
offbeat words from Carroll "Archie Bunker" O'Connor and comedy icon
Groucho Marx, crooner Perry Como (an excerpt from "Keep It Gay," from
the 1953 musical "Me and Juliet": music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics
by Oscar Hammerstein II), endearing film comedy duo Laurel & Hardy
(from the 1936 film classic "Babes in Toyland"), the legendary Judy
Garland (an excerpt from "The Girl That I Marry"), the multi-talented
Mickey Rooney (an excerpt from "Treat Me Rough," an otherwise
overlooked song from the 1943 musical "Girl Crazy"), Carl Reiner & Mel
Brooks (from "The 2000 Year Old Man"), Tommy Smothers ("The Military
Lovers"), Martin Mull ("Men"), a brief clip from the National Lampooned
"Watergate Hearings," and Bing Crosby singing "Gay Love" . . . . . 13:13

SEGMENT #3 - "STRANGER THAN STRAIGHT"/PART TWO features a brief
musical snippet by Edie Gorme, an obscure song of uncertain origin by
musical comedy star Danny Kaye, the poignant self-aware words of
Holocaust teen diarist Anne Frank, a witty ditty about a "marvelous
party" he attended by the ever-so-sophisticated Noel Coward, a
"danceable" Sandy Dennis/George Segal film clip from "Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf," and Bessie Smith singing, and her niece Ruby talking
with Chris Albertson about, an especially entertaining
"Buffet Flat". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12:36
