Benzedrine and Ovaltine

I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this one until today:

Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine?

The side links take you to some equally surprising items - Lucille Bogan's "Shave Me Dry" for one.

I wonder how you managed to find stuff like that when it was first released?

Jack, I have the recording on an LP called I think Reefer Songs, and also on a three CD compilation called Drink Drugs Sex. Wondrous stuff. And you wil already know that this takes off Who Put The Dungarees In Mrs Murphy's Chowdwer?

Jack, I think some of the sidelinks are guesses based on your browsing history. I didn't get "Shave 'Em Dry," but did get a wild, allegedly banned, Betty Boop cartoon involving nitrous oxide. So thanks!

Ewan, I learned it as "overalls."
