Today's Video Link

Shrimpenstein was a very hip and funny kids' show that ran in Los Angeles back in the sixties. I've written about it before on this blog, most notably in this post which also included a video embed of almost seven minutes from an episode. You might want to go watch it before you click on today's link…because today's link is the next nine and half minutes from that episode.

That's Gene Moss as Dr. Von Shtick and his partner Jim Thurman supplying the voices of Shrimpy and Klaus. This excerpt also includes a number by The Tijuana Bats, who were two puppets worked by Thurman who mimed to sped-up records. (The speaking voices of the bats leading into the song were pre-taped so Moss could play one of them.) This hunk should give you some idea why my friends and I all found this show very hard to resist and were saddened when it was cancelled.
