you might want to skip the whole Barry Goldwater thing  completely.

Yeah, but did you ever hear Lyndon Johnson's  version of "Scratch my 
back"? Or for that matter, Everett Dirksen's  stentorian take 
on "Smokestack Lightnin'"?

Dear Winslow,
 
Both amazing, granted--especially the way  the 48-bagpipe chorus plays the 
harp  riff behind Dirksen's gravelly  recitation ("Can you not, in fact, hear me 
calling, sir?" followed by that  bizarre attempt at a Howlin' Wolf "woooo"), 
but we don't have to dwell in the  past.  Surely nothing can top Jesse 
(Ooh-Pooh-Pah-Doo) Helms'  spittle-drippin' version of Louis Jordan's "Fine Brown 
Frame."  He really  seems to FEEL it.
