Love the video! We just searched Amazon and found that the Temple City Kazoo orchestra is mentioned in the book, "The Seventies: A Tumultuous Decade Reconsidered," published by Rolling Stone. Apparently, the definitive guide to the 70's could not have been written without including the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra! Chaz, we think you are hot! -Bonnie and Eric
I remember my father playing this for me on the technocolour vinyl as a small child. I fell in love with the sheer humour of it all. In fact, I think it could be a winner when I walk down the isle later this year. It'll certainly make for a memorable entrance.
'daviddennard', 'ladysun1969' Could you or anyone upload some more of their work? In particular, 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Staying Alive'. I heard them both played on Radio 1 in the UK way back when...bloody hilarious!!
I actually had this album when it was out. I worked at a record store at the time, and our assistant manager, who was really weird, insisted we all buy this album. Well, mine went to a Goodwill Store many years ago. I miss it like a toothache. The only thing I remember about it, (other than being REALLY annoying), was that the vinyl was multicolored. I guess they had to do something to sell this turd. Oh yeah... I think it was also Rhino Records 1st or 2nd release. What were they thinking ??

Had the pleasure of seeing them perform live at the Dr. Demento 10th anniversary concert, Amazing!
I have been pestering Rhino Records for years requesting more Temple City Kazoo Orchestra releases!
this is my favorite record, and none of you will change that
Same.
Fantastic! I remember my big brother playing TCKO Whole Lotta Love to me back in the 80's!!
Thanks very much for posting it!

"... Lou Ferrigno right after this."
What an epic show this must have been.
Just heard this one and staying alive on the radio. I am officially a fan.
I actually own the EP that's got this song on it, plus "Whole Lotta Love" as well as "Stayin' Alive"!!
The man sitting on the right is David Brenner.
I've got the LP ; still waiting for the CD box set
Where are these people today?
Dallas, Los Angeles and probably a few other places as well. - DD

Whoa what's with the boom mic being in shot the entire time? yikes...
Hard as it is to believe, Mike Douglas was the coolest host of rock acts. Steve Allen was corny, Carson had contempt for them.
CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE
My ears are bleeding
In a good way.
uh......i feel like my ears have been raped
Worth a million dollars. Mike is clueless.
Talent? WTF
god that sucked
Poor, out of tune "orchestra".
