Strange, but true, in the early 80s, Frank Zappa joined showbiz celebs like Nipsey Russell, Scatman Crothers, Erik Estrada, Henny Youngman, and One Day at a Time mom, Bonnie Franklin, to record radio PSAs for the American Dental Association. The spots admonished kids to brush, floss and go for regular dental check-ups. Here are three of them: “Dental Floss Tycoon,” “Trick Or Treat” and “Keep Your Teeth.”
 

 
Thank you Wilson Smith!

This article is informative and interesting,I enjoy reading it.

This is right up there with Lou Reed’s mid-80s anti-drug PSA.

The kids always love Hans Conried.
