Branded as: Radio
Fanny Brice dropped out of school in 1908 but managed to land herself a cherry gig with the legendary Ziegfeld Follies in 1910. While with the Follies she wrote a skit about a toddler named Snooks. The character would later become a major radio hit.
With the fame that Baby Snooks brought Fanny she was of course straddled with great responsibility. How best to use her fame to guide the legion of young fans that very fame brought her? Her path was obvious; imbue each sketch with clear and valuable life lessons.
In the above track Baby Snooks teaches young children the importance of road safety through songs of monkey massacres and tales of child abuse.
