On This Date

in 1962, Telstar 1 was launched, allowing television transmissions to be beamed around the world! The world's greatest kazoo song was written to commemorate this world-changing event. The song was the first British single to top the Billboard charts.

The second-greatest kazoo song is, of course, the Cantina Song from Star Wars.

I prefer the Ventures version myself. (Kazoo free since 1958! AND STILL TOURING!)

Let us not forget" The very the first Telstar North American Broadcast featured (at the very last minute)an American Baseball game from Wrigley Field! Go Cubs!
