Perrey & Kingsley in the late '60s (the Hot Butter hit was circa '73)... I could believe it too. Jarre's first LP, Deserted Palace (withdrawn 'cuz he wanted to be more of a "serious" artist), has a lot of novelty stuff; witness tracks like "Poltergeist Party," "Rain Forest Rap Session," "Pogo Rock," "Exasperated Frog" and "Bee Factory." .John.
