No whipped cream for you!

 

this was the era where men's magazines were proudly displayed in doctor/dentist offices and at the homes of liberal folk

Now no soup for you, lol. Yeah, they had playboy and penthouse right at the front counter of the drugstores back then. 

 

She looks nice for 82... and no I would not. Album cover then was like the Farrah poster of later years.

"The # 1 pop album of 1965. This song (along with Lollipops & Roses) was used as the theme song for the television show "The Dating Game". Whipped Cream & Other Delights sold over 6 million copies in the United States and the album cover alone is considered a classic pop culture icon. It featured model Dolores Erickson wearing chiffon and shaving cream. She was three months pregnant."

this kind of rampant grime and graft and payola let easy listening stay on the top of the charts

 

resulting in Playboy's music critic lambasting The White Album for 30 forgettable tunes and praising Sergio Mendes Brasil '68...

 

 

30 forgettable tunes..... for anyone who was under 80 years old in 1969...

Add a little Cash in there, Lynn Anderson, and the Association's greatest hits... still like this band though...  and yep, that what was found in the consoles. Don't forget Marvin Hamlish either, the entertainer made my grandfather seem like he heard it for the first time every time.
