The USS Pueblo’s official ships song was “The Lonely Bull” by Herb Alpert.

He is one guy who can toot his own horn, and deservedly so.

I did not know that. The mind-boggling things one picks up on FR.

Don’t have it handy at the moment, or I’d post it. “It” is Sour Cream and Other Delights, a great Tijuana Brass sendup by The Frivolous Five. One of my favorite parody records of all time!

Jim Hoehn, an extremely talented songwriter, wrote a song called “I Still Like Herb Alpert.” Jim (in the red shirt) performs the song at a house party in Key West in November 2010 (because of banter among the performers, the song actually starts at about the 2 minute mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4uXvYi7SDY

This alblum cover was one of my favorites! The lady in whipped cream is still alive and still looks pretty good for her age.

I remember the saga of the USS Pueblo growing up. LBJ basically let the ship and her crew be taken by the North Koreans. He didn’t lift a finger to help them. 0bozo is today’s LBJ.

"looks pretty good"

Yes, but has the whipped cream dripped off her yet?
