Abbott & Costello at Blockbuster

At McSweeney's, Chris Gavaler's riff on Who's on First?

Nice.

Reminds me of a similar bit -- based on the names of rock bands -- done by The Credibility Gap (Richard Beebe, Harry Shearer, David L. Lander, and Michael McKean) in the seventies. Go to this page on Shearer's site and scroll down to the "Who's on First" link for the Real Audio file.

And I see that a site called whos-on-first.com has audio, video (!) and text of the original Bud Abbott and Lou Costello routine.
