The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart/The Windmills Are Weakening

Bob s last charting album (from 1965) is a triumph, starting with the first track, Superman and the Dry Cleaner , which features Clark Kent arguing with the dry cleaner that lost his Superman suit! Then there s King Kong , which imagines a security guard s first day on the job contending with a certain super-sized simian, and Ben Franklin in Analysis , which pits Newhart s renowned psychoanalytic powers against the historical figure s troubling tendency to fly kites in thunderstorms. Other routines include Buying a House ; Edison s Most Famous Invention ; The Upset Stomach Commercial , and Returning a Gift .
