"SCROOGE" as laid down by LORD BUCKLEY

[@CharlieMessing]

THIS is my "It's a Wonderful Life." My heart is warmed. Best wishes to all...

[@treypeters1087]

Best of luck lately

[@johnaltyn3171]

I have finally found it....Vin Scelsa used to play this when he was a DJ on WNEW 102.7 FM radio back in the 1970's. I sent a message to Vin Scelsa and his daughter told me the name again...How WONDERFUL....

[@dr.zarkhov9753]

John, I remember listening too. I have it on cassette tape somewhere from Vin's show back in the 90s. He did some great Xmas shows. Miss that kind of terrestrial radio. 😢

[@ndogg20]

WNEW FM that's where I first heard it as well.

[@melissaray6226]

It's not Christmas without Lord Buckley. Most brilliant, awesome dude ever.

[@andrewames5643]

I first heard This in the mid 1970's. A NYC DJ, Vince Scelsa, played it once a year, every year. I eventually found it in MP3 form and started playing every year, for my young children. They LOVED IT! And my now 27 year old daughter still listens to it. A true Classic piece of Spoken Word.

[@billjhyt]

this is one hip dude. he combines good story telling with a little rhythm and rap. excellent!

[@johnmorris9080]

Thank you Michael for this ,have it on an L.P. since the 60's it is full of clicks and jumps .Lovely to hear it wonderfully clear and clean.

[@666cricket]

there can be no doubting the genius and wisdom of the wonderful Lord Buckley This is quite brilliant.

[@LazlosPlane]

Coolest cat to ever wail.

[@Matternor]

Oh man, that is simply wow. Cat done dig a good tale.

[@matthewmcsheffrey2522]

Great rapper👍👍👍👍

[@ndogg20]

First heard this on a midnight show on a alternate rock station in the 70s.Now i find it on you tube and it not only still holds up ,it gets better. The Lord B's Scrooge will now be my holiday tradtition.

[@bootytoot]

Sheer genius. We are not worthy! Thank you so much for posting this.

[@666cricket]

this is just a brilliant piece of narration...love it.

[@soulwam]

Alleluyah, This one I was not hip to until this day. On the subject of Mr Trager's book I had it on order for a year but it never seemed to get itself published in the UK. Thanks mcarlucci and the artists for this labour of love.

[@mcarlucci55904]

There's still only one way--straight to the road of love.

[@VideoNozoki]

Came here because Tom Waits said Lord Buckley was one of his influences. Here in 2020, I can hear the scat rhyming that seems so modern today with spoken word and rap. (reading his bio, seems he was hanging out with all the coolest montage of people...Cab Calloway, Red Fox, Norman Mailer... Quincy Jones being one of the people to come to his trial... How old is Quincy Jones?! He's worked with everyone.)

[@foresttemple1380]

His Trial? Oh for reefer in 1941 maybe..

[@VideoNozoki]

@@foresttemple1380: NO, His 1960 trial about the Cabaret Card System (that was used to silence entertainers with "unpopular political opinions"). ~ ("Talk about civil rights?! We'll revoke your Cabaret Performers Licence for a 20 year old charge we dug up.") *Quincy Jones was 8yr in 1941, your guess doesn't even make any sense. By 1960 Quincy Jones was a 27 year old prominent musician and producer with TV and music.

[@rbeckhoff89]

This is the greatest Manic story telling of Scrooge/ The Christmas Carol. Lord Buckley was awesome..and he was really talon Beat talk, or Beatnk.. but he had to inspire many comedians Both White and Black.. I love this ole Scroogie Scrooge...

[@mdumas43073]

Wonderfully clever, and oddly moving, interpretation of Dickens' story.

[@coraggio93]

I first heard of Lord Buckley from a college classmate who was constantly mumbling Lord Buckley's lines from "The Naz".

[@Geekygirrls2014on]

I let the commercial play all the way through, and in fact I clicked on it so you might make some money from your monetization, because I LOVE LORD BUCKLEY THAT MUCH!!! :)

[@55904mcarlucci]

For me to say that I am disheartened to see that YouzzzTube has tacked on corporate ad content as a prequel would be an understatement! It is beyond annoying. I don't know the policy. I'm guessing that after a certain number of views are reached, leaching, greed-ridden capitalism kicks in. But, for the record, I am not making any money from this, nor do I have any desire to do so. This was a labor of love. And to that point, I am so glad you and so many others have liked my little homage, GeekiestWoman! So I say to all; skip the bloody commercials whenever and wherever possible!

[@Doot414]

Michael Carlucci It's because the copyright on it is still in effect.

[@norrisnonkin5283]

A Vin Scelsa perennial

[@ohjb]

I'd like to thank the Royal Court for the portraiture.... fine work.

[@daroguetrader23]

[@mrkrinkle72]

merry christmas cats from the trav :)

[@clucaspik]

I've still got the album! - "Governor Slugwell" is the track - I can still hear him doing the trombones.

[@ndogg20]

December 25th,2020, time to travel to the far far living ends of You Tube and groove to the hep vernacular of the Lord himself Buckley.

[@Neopachuco]

Could you upload it to KZbin by any means? Me and the "legion" of fans of Lord Buckley would be forever greatful.

[@Neopachuco]

This monologue reminds me of the one that Zappa included in his seventies anthology production called "Zapped", an album unfortunely lost forever in the night of times.

[@cosycleaner]

I make with the great Buckley like crazy.

[@Bogframe]

Well done, I'm hip!

[@hapijen4828]

This is brilliant. So is his version of - 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe.

[@GREGLUHOWY]

OOh ba ba do, ooh ba ba la, catch The Naz sometime. The Naz (Jesus) the hippest, suavest cat that ever walked tihis sweet swingin' sphere.

[@daroguetrader23]

funny stuff....this were most stand up comics got there foundation.......nutz

[@hudginsfrp3545]

My Uncle spoke like this. It was his only way.

[@PeluMaad]

@BacktoBackDM ....back when Michael Tearson was music director?

[@joorcawhisperer9733]

[@BloodfestButterfly]

The heppest of all cats.

[@clucaspik]

[@oggendoggen2]

I always thought that the pick at :55 looks like the Godfather

[@Flum666]

@HEV29 what's wrong with you? are you? (NB! You're not)

[@HEV29]

What is wrong with Lord Buckley? Is he mentally ill? (PS: he is quite unintentionally funny)
