Hilarious. I remember playing it as a young kid. Absolutely howling with laughter in front of my parents. Good, clean fun. I still remember it after all of these years. So glad I found it on YouTube.

It was plastic and either it was tucked between pages or was a tear-out. I think the latter.

My uncle, 8yrs older got it. My grandad heard the belching and told him not to play it around his mother, my grandma. A few years later, in algebra my teacher would put 2 problems on the blackboard. 2 of us, whoever solved their problem before the last blecher won! Understanding that this was early 70's and a prize of movie tickets, pop, and popcorn was cool. It's a gas.

Absolutely HAD it. It was a back cover piece of cardboard in the Mad Magazine itself, and I had to tape it to the turntable to spin or it hung up on the needle and stayed in one place. I know every beat and belch f it, I was 9 or 10. Earrrrrrrrrrp? Don't worry, Think Pink! Pepto Bismol. Roger Kaputnik.

The flexi was on Worst from Mad #9 (1966). I remember it was in the 5th grade a girl brought the record to school. She's a teacher in San Diego today. It's possible that they reused it as a bonus insert on other issues. Originally the song was on an entire album Bigtop Records produced in 1963.

@marie-carolinemoir7202

Yes, and I’m pretty sure it was square, too, but perhaps I’m just remembering the page that you perforated to get a round 45 to pop out?

My Pops had this and my big brother and I rocked out to it when we were little, before bed.

The best was when you serendipitously needed to burp while the song was playing, and you could try to fit it into the song.

My Pops is pretty rad, so he big-time encouraged this behavior. 😂

@airmojo

I had this record & I assume the magazine that it came in... a very thin plastic/vinyl record... I think I had to tape it to the turntable so it would lie flat & play better... I would play it with my three younger brothers and we would howl with laughter... mainly because we always played it at a higher speed... I always wondered what happened to it... I suspect my mother through out all my Mad magazines and comic books at some point... I wish I was smarter back then & saved all my cool stuff in a safe place !

@yowzephyr

2y↑2

Yeah, I remember this well. I was a kid. I bought a copy of MAD Magazine and a paper like record was in there. So of course I took it out and played it. Did the guy yell "It's a gas!" only once? I remember him saying it several times. Maybe memory plays tricks. But I think you don't have the entire recording here. I guess you felt it was too long? Anyway it's a gas hearing it again!

@VinceHiggins-OTW

49w↑1

I heard it off the original sheet vinyl that came in the magazine.

@arvantis

This came out in 1963. They ("The Bunch of Usual Idiots") created another classic ( same "format") called:. "She Got A Nose Job" ( Now She's the Prettiest Girl in Town). It had to be played @ 33 1/3 RPM, even though it was the size of a 45. I got in trouble because I would (gently?) force the arm on our Magnavox stereo "over" to play it.
My Dad was pissed!!! He (my Dad) hated it.
I went to summer camp with a kid that could burb "on command". I was so jealous. I acquired that "skill", when I "grew up"?
If my kids would have brought this home, I would have sang / burped right along with it!!!!

This is a first; in my lifetime, that a record was inserted in a magazine and didn't raise the price as far as I could remember. $0.25 Cheap. They had stickers, funny labels, and other things added now and then. What a crew of people they had contributing to all of that nonscience going on. I wonder if they ever had a scratch and sniff issue? Mad is still going strong after all of these years. How ridiculous is that? What Me, Worry?
