Hello Friends,
We first heard this song on the Pebbles: Volume 3 - The Acid Gallery LP as performed by a cat named Mike Condello.
A little further research showed that Mike Condello was the musical director on a kid's show out of Phoenix, Arizona called "The Wallace and Ladmo Show". On the air from 1954 to 1989, it remains the one of the longest running children's shows in U.S. Television history. We watched a few clips and boy-oh-boy did it look weird!
Then, holy smokes, we stumbled upon this clip here and its Commadore Condello's Salt River Navy Band performing what song? You guessed it, "Soggy Cereal", in all its propagandist glory! Yowsas!
On a much sadder note friends, Mike Condello, who suffered from lifelong depression, took his own life in 1995!
Bummer!
Bummer!
