Update of Benny Bell classic novely song, "Shaving Cream," Now on YouTube, With a Video Challenge

Dec. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The legacy of Benny Bell, the novelty entertainer who wrote and recorded "Shaving Cream," "Take a Ship for Yourself," "Grandpa Had a Long One," "Everybody Wants My Fanny" and dozens of others, is continuing with a "Shaving Cream" update for the holidays.

The song's re-composer, who is Benny Bell's grandson, posted the update on YouTube along with the double-entendre lyrics and an invitation for people to make their own videos to go along with it.

The song, lyrics and video challenge can be seen on YouTube by typing "Holiday Shaving Cream" into the search bar.  

"All people have to do is download the song from CDBaby.com or iTunes and use it as the soundtrack for their own creative, crazy, nutty, bizarre YouTube videos. And if you know what the original "Shaving Cream is all about, you can only imagine what these videos will look like," says Bell's grandson, journalist Joel Samberg.

"Shaving Cream" was first released in 1947 and resurfaced in 1975 thanks to novelty broadcaster Dr. Demento. It became a hit on the BIllboard charts. After his death in 1999, his grandson took on the responsibility of perpetuating the legacy with a series of Benny Bell compliation CDs, a book called "Grandpa Had a Long One: Personal Notes on the Life, Legacy & Career of Benny Bell," and other special projects. "Holiday Shaving Cream" is one of those special projects.
