Description

Hello you're looking at a very rare Industrial Musical record from Detroit Diesel Division of General Motors. It was given to my grandfather when he worked at Detroit Diesel back in the sixties. It also comes with the program insert. The record and cover are in near mint condition. Thanks for looking.

 

Hank Beebe and Bill Heyer's song "One Man Operation" from Diesel Dazzle portrays a woman who suggests that she gave up part of her life to a faceless, industrious worker drone... yet now, thanks to hard work and Detroit Diesel, he's a human being again. In Beebe's and Heyer's hands, the results for some reason sound kind of sweet:

Now he has two mechanics, a parts and service man -
A girl to take the calls and keep the books -
He spends weekends giving the children all he can -
And telling me how young his wife looks!

There for the longest while, I never saw him smile -
Now, his smile's what he's famous for -
Because the one man in my life, is no one man operation,
He may take two-weeks vacation, maybe four
Because my one wonderful man is no one-man operation anymore!
- "One Man Operation", Diesel Dazzle, Detroit Diesel, 1966
