“It’s learning, the way you always hoped it would be, with Sluggo.”
Just a short post to share with you a gift, sent to me by reader Eric – the Listen, Laugh & Learn record from 1982:

“It’s learning, the way you always hoped it would be, filled with songs and laughter.”

“It’s Nancy and Sluggo in their very first record album. They’re here to help your child explore new horizons in learning … with a few giggles along the way. Each story and song is designed to open up young minds to their endless possibilities as they Listen, Laugh & Learn with Nancy and Sluggo.”
“SONGS INCLUDE
Listen, Laugh & Learn • Video Brain • Figure It Out • Anything You Want • Perspecive • Listen, Laugh & Learn (reprise) • When the Levee Breaks”
Okay, maybe not that last one.
I have had a busy weekend, so I haven’t yet had time to give this “vinyl record album” a “spin” on my “record playing turntable” (kids, ask your grandparents what these things mean), so I have no idea if Sluggo was given the deep and rich baritone that he obviously should have. I’ll report when I can.
Also, I shudder to think at what lessons Sluggo has to impart, unleashing his terrible knowledge upon impressionable minds.
But we already know what they sound like from Archie’s TV Funnies/Fabulous Funnies (and boy are you gonna be disappointed)
I’d love to hear a Nancy and Sluggo jug band version of When the Levee Breaks.
I must know what Sluggo sounds like.

Yikes… not really sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that
I’ve always imagined Sluggo sounding like Brian Doyle-Murray.
Was that June Foray? What the hell?
“I’ve always imagined Sluggo sounding like Brian Doyle-Murray.”
I’d like to think he’d talk like James Cagney!
