Stan Freberg died today. I have been a fan of “Stan Freberg Presents the USA” for years.
In this, my favorite skit and song, Ben Franklin is nervous about signing the Declaration of Independence, saying it sounds a little “suspect.”
You’re so skittish
Who possibly could care if you do
The UnBritish
Activities Committee — that’s who!
He’ll be missed.
Pronounced "Patter-EE-koh"

Look at this show-off Hancock, will you? Pretty flamboyant signature for an insurance man!
