Wikipedia says some people insist this is from a Toronto recording session in the '80s. I know that I got this copy from another engineer in 1972. I've also heard it spoofed in the British radio comedy series "I'm Sorry, I'll Read that Again", with the name "Orson" replaced by "Lionel". Wikipedia says that show ran from 1963 to 1973.
More recently, this session has been spoofed on the American children's cartoon "Animaniacs" (link to video clip), and the cult adult cartoon series "The Critic".
You'll also hear a reference to it at end of an underground spoof on v/o sessions, Advertising in the Year 2000, which I produced in 1981 and has been circulating at studios since.
In early 2005, artist Alan Rhodes sent me a link to his 3-minute dance-mix version. It probably doesn't make much sense unless you've listened to the original first.
