They released two Grammy-nominated comedy albums, Somewhere over the Radio and Retail Comedy at Wholesale Prices, the latter album featured the sketch, "Fast Food".
Stevens & Grdnic's work is syndicated on more than 450 radio stations by All Star Radio Networks, and some of their recordings have been featured on Dr. Demento's radio show.[3][4]
Their recording "Commercials on 45", inspired by Stars on 45 medleys, consisted of parodies of commercials set to music.
Fast Food
Fast Food is a two-and-a-half minute audio comedy skit about a frustrating encounter at a fast-food drive-thru where a customer tries to order "a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a large orange drink." The skit was first broadcast on radio on 4 July 1982, but written and performed earlier.[5]
