"is that what's got you down, bunkie?" radio spots

A Google search for “is that what’s got you down, bunkie?” bore no results.

It was an older man recounting your ridiculous problems, followed by an equally ridiculous cheering-up while the Stars and Stripes Forever played.

From back in the day when DJs would play short bits like Mind Jazz or skits from the Radio Ranch, that weren’t actual ads.

It’s “The Old Philosopher” by Eddie Lawrence. There were various versions.

Is it comedian Eddie Lawrence? On Youtube.

[Took too long]

definitely!

just this morning on the way to work I was listening to a mixtape podcast that had a DJ-themed “Old Philosopher” bit on it. I love those things.

Is that what’s troubling you, bunkie?
