My uncle had numerous records of the great comedians from the 1960s (I distinctly remember The Smothers Brothers and Bob Newhart). Every once in a while, my dad and I go over to his house to visit him. I distinctly remember being there listening to the Smothers Brothers singing their “My Old Man” song. I swear that on the album we were listening to, there was an added verse. In THIS rendition, “their old man” was a n!&&er. I remember how shocked I was at the iMessage (I was only about eight or nine at the time). I would as my dad or uncle, but they both have passed on. Does anyone remember hearing this version of the song?

I heard that version too! My uncle had all of their records, and he played me that version. My jaw hit the floor. I haven’t been able to find it since, and he died years ago. I don’t know whatever became of that record. So ignore the ignorant haters; you are correct!
