John & Ernest: Super Fly Meets Shaft

The "break in" record is a specific strain of novelty song, in which a narrator, usually a newscaster, acts like they're doing man on the street interviews, and the answers are all samples from popular records of the day. They are all very bad, and John & Ernest are no exception.

Super Fly Meets Shaft was released, and even charted, in 1973. It starts with the cardinal error of thinking that Super Fly is a name and not an adjective for Youngblood Priest, and goes downhill from there.


And the B-side, Soul President Number One
