Dave, you're absolutely right about Stan Freberg, but he did record one 
other satire of music many on this list might consider OKOM.

>From http://www.holeintheweb.com/drp/bhd/Stanfreberg1.htm :

Later that year (1957) he turned to Lawrence Welk’s major television show 
for the inspiration for "Wun’erful, Wun’erful!" (F 3815) a two-parter which 
was pressed on "Side Uh-One" and "Side Uh-Two," and which gave us that 
immortal line, "Turn off the bubble machine!"

All this talk about political correctness makes me want to "Take an Indian 
to Lunch!"

Freberg is currently hosting a syndicated nostalgia old-time-radio show, 
"When Radio Was."  He sounds totally bored.
