(Cover of "And Me...I'm Ed McMahon...." Cameo/Parkway Records, 1967)
Like many TV, movie and radio celebrities, Ed McMahon took a stab at being a singer.
Well, he had the good sense to not cover any Beatles tunes (God know how many ruined renditions of "Hey Jude" I have heard from Bing Crosby to Kate Smith)
But there is plenty of creepiness afoot. Note that some of the songs on this album were about "girls" by a guy who even in 1967 was old enough to be a grandfather.
This one especially makes me nervous...give this one a spin (listen to the opening banter.):
