“Mr. Jaws” by Dickie Goodman was released on Cash Records in 1975. And yes, I bought it.
This record is a parody of the 1975 summer blockbuster film Jaws, with Goodman interviewing the shark – whom he calls “Mr. Jaws” – as well as the film’s main characters, Brody, Hooper, and Quint. Goodman makes full use of his practice of “break-in” music sampling, in which all of the interview answers are lyrics from popular songs from that year.
The single peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1975. On the Cash Box Top 100 it fared even better, reaching #1.
