Richard Nixon Superstar

Richard Nixon Superstar is a 1971 comedy album, built around comedian/impressionist David Frye's portrayal of Richard Nixon (also including impersonations of Lyndon B. Johnson, Henry Kissinger, and others). One track on the B side is titled "Sesame Street," with the gushy narrator saying young people follow Richard Nixon because he has learned to speak their language: "Hello, boys and girls. Today's show is brought to you by, and it's a great letter, the letter W." A rambling story about when Nixon was a child and too poor to afford his own alphabet follows.
