Evelyn Woodhead Speed Reading Course
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Evelyn Woodhead Speed Reading Course" is a parody of the numerous speed reading courses available in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s written by Cheech and Chong that first appeared on the 1973 album Los Cochinos. The title specifically refers to the Evelyn Wood course.
Voiced by Tommy Chong, the piece begins with the words delivered phonetically:
| “ | Ever since I took the Evelyn Woodhead sped ridin course, my ridin has [Tommy carefully sounds out the syllables somewhat incorrectly] im-PRO-vid won-der-FULL-y ... and remember you heard it first here on Roller Derby | ” |
The short spoken word testimonial style skit was an efficient parody of commercials that were prevalent on the television and radio stations in that era.
