Ray Stevens made a name for himself with novelty records but this 45 was a total about-face in style. The single was a scathing look at how materialistic America had become. (All he had to do was wait for “Mad Men.”) His next record bombed, so he went back to doing goofy songs with greater success. Hard to believe this was the same guy who also did “The Streak.” Don’t look, Ethel!! Boogity boogity!!
