I first heard this 30 years ago when my father played it for me. I've used the "412" reference to this day whenever people get overly dramatic. They never know the reference, but they laugh just the same. Thanks for posting this! Now I'll have to go find Dad's original vinyl copy for a walk down memory lane.

RIP Stan Freberg. I grew up loving his great comedy. Born 7 August 1926 and he died on my daughter's birthday, 7 April 2015. So many people probably don't know his name at all but his humour and timing was up there with the very best. This sketch, based on the 1950's series Dragnet, was a wonderful spoof about St George and the Dragonet… listen and be ready to laugh. Definitely worth three minutes of anyone's time. RIP Stan, you were a comedy great!

Stan Freberg was a comedy genius. So many of his sketches stand the test of time. St George and the Dragonet was one of his best. But he had so many!

This was the first Freberg track I ever heard (2010), and for some reason, my iPhone displays a Freberg album cover everytime I listen to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

I remember listening to Stan Freberg's "United States of America" The early years.. It taught me about our nations history in a fun way. Never will forget- and can almost recite it verbatim!

I remember Stan doing a live interview on the Dr. Demento Show, on KMET 94.7 FM ( Little Bit of Heaven -- Ninety - Four point Seven ) Los Angeles in the 1970's. Stan mentioned that he used the genuine NBC Orchestra for that authentic sound. HOWEVER this recording was take 29 or so, due to the musicians' continual laughing at the dialogue !!! In addition the his great comedy recordings, Stan was also a top - notch ad man. Rest in Peace, Stan...
