Here come the lesbians, the leaping lesbians

The Internet Archive amazes me with its continual ability to provide the things I have long been seeking. The most recent case in point:

Lesbian Concentrate

Lesbian Concentrate, a 1977 anthology of songs by and about lesbians, published by the feminist label Olivia Records.  It was released partly as a reaction to Anita Bryant’s crazy crazytalk, and partly because the world can always use another lesbian anthology. Excuse me, lesbianthology. It’s one word now.

The reason I’d been looking so long and hard for it was to find the track by Sue Fink, titled “Leaping Lesbians”:


Sue Fink – “Leaping Lesbians”

It’s sort of a lesbian funhouse horror song. My greatest wish in the world at this moment is that I could say there were other songs in this genre. To compensate, please memorize this one and sing it every chance you get: “We’re gonna please you, tease you, hypnotize and tightly squeeze you, we’re gonna get if you we can (Here come the lesbians)! Don’t go and try to fight it, run away or try to hide it, we want your lovin’, that’s our plan!”

Shelter your livestock, then, take shelter yourself

From the marvelous Internet Archive, we have these vintage PSAs from 1965:

“Get your free copy of Your Livestock Can Survive Fallout From Nuclear Attack.” I would love a copy of that government pamphlet. Almost as much as I love that they did these PSAs with puppets.
