The Many Heads of Dickie Goodman Rori Records (1962) Dickie Goodman wrote and recorded novelty songs and parodies beginning with the 1956 top ten hit “The Flying Saucer” His career-long shtick was to act as a “reporter,” while the responses from the “people” he was interviewing would be soundbites from popular records of the day. As the original sampling gangster, he had 17 different labels sue him for using samples on “The Flying Saucer” without permission. But the judge in the case ultimately sided with Goodman, stating that “he had created a new work” and didn’t simply copy another’s work. In the early seventies he put out singles like “Convention ’72” “Superfly Meets Shaft” and “Watergate” and in 1975, he released probably his best-known song, “Mr. Jaws,” a spoof of the movie “Jaws” which peaked on the U.S. pop charts at #4 and sold over 500,000 copies. He died in Fayetteville, NC, on November 6, 1989 (from an apparent suicide).
