It's a Gas!


From time to time on the Daily Giz Wiz Leo and I have talked about "It's a Gas", a song released (or escaped) from MAD Magazine. Years ago when MAD bound those floppy plastic disc in MAD Specials, they often had songs of them. And those MAD floppy discs had NOTHING to do with the computer type.

Daily Giz Wiz listener James Baldwin found a recording of IT'S A GAS on YouTube, and emailed it to me. So if you've never heard it, or heard and and didn't believe it - and want to hear it again - Here's your chance! 

For years I looked for this clip of William M.Gaines,founder/publisher of MAD Magazine,
appearing on To Tell The Truth!

Thanks to Adam ofwww.gameshowutopia.netfame for finding it!

It's from 1970, 39 years ago! Adam's a big game show fan and has posted some great stuff on You Tube.

Back then I worked on To Tell The Truth (while writing The Match Game) and finally convinced Gaines to be on the program. He did great as you'll see. Be sure to watch the "mill around" at the end of the show. You'll see Dick De without a stache!

In the clip you'll see a celebrity panel including two game show legends, Bill Cullen & Gene Rayburn, cross-examining the founder & publisher of MAD Magazine. Dick DeBartolo, who was collecting paychecks from both Gaines and Goodson-Todman at this point, pops up during the credits.
