Time to think back to the 70's

[Randy]

Back in the 70's there was an ad for underwear in a Sears catalog, and the male model was hanging out a bit. eek! Does anyone remember this? I believe there was a song written about it, does anyone remember what it was called? ( the song that is! )

I recall the big "flap" about it, although I never saw the picture at the time, and don't recall a song about it.

Here's the sharpened picture from the Fall/Winter '75 Sears Catalog:



Here's the link to the original:

I remember a broo-ha-ha that was in the drapery or wall hanging section that had FU airbrushed in the wall, but can't pin down the song title. thier was something though. Just too long ago.
I'll do some reasearch. You probably wanted it yesterday...right?

Randy, The artist was Jack Barlow and released under the name Zoot Fenster. The catalog was the Fall/Winter 1975 edition.
The song was titled, "The man on page 602".

... and I thought I was the only one to remember that. That does go back a few years.

Still available on a novelty compilation called "36 Country Novelty Songs", if you were going to rush out and get it.

Thanks for the great info! This was something that came up in a conversation were the wife works. People ask us the strangest question sometimes. We were doing a gig once and another DJ was there, He kept asking for these off the wall one hit wonder songs from the 70’s and 80’s. After I played 5 for 5 he quit asking.
