Who Rode the Ride of Paul Revere?
"Ali!"
Alright, so I found this one off Memepool, but it wasn't directly featured, so I feel okay about it. (The actual link involved Orson Welles berating some copy editors of a frozen peas radio commercial, which I highly recommend, as well.) Apparently back in 1976, Muhammed Ali got together with Frank Sinatra, Howard Cosell, and some other folks to create a record promoting Cassius' fight against . . . yes, that's right: tooth decay. I'm uncertain how this relates to "Muhammed Ali's Historical Theme Song," but I'm sure there's a reason.
Also, it seems this album spawned a Grammy-winning sequel one year later, "President Jimmy Carter in the Fall of Mr. Tooth Decay." I kid you not.
