COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH *ZAPPA* COUGH COUGH COUGH

My day was spent like this:

"COUGHCOUGHCOUGHCOUGHCAAAAAAAAAAAACAKCAKCAKCAKRRRRRRPPPPTTCOUGHCOUGHCOUGHCOUGHCOUGHCAAAAAAAAA..."

ad infinitum.

So today my poor phlegm-drenched lungs and I bring you this cool little rock novelty -- a 1967 Ludens Cough Drops commercial with music done by none other than Frank Zappa, who was paid $2000 for his work by the animator. It won that year's Clio Award for "Best Use Of Sound."

I don't know if Ludens is in business now, but if you want to bring me a box of those cherry ones, however old they are, I'll take 'em.

thank you scott CAAAAACKCOUGH

great post. I'm sure I have that comic ad in one of my old Marvels. BTW: History Detectives just finished shooting an episode about a painting by Zappa. Cal Schenkel appears in it. Get well soon.
