Ask The Kids - Rusty Warren

This clip called 'Ask The Kids' is from Rusty's 1964 album 'Sex-X-Ponent'.

 Rusty Warren was a controversial and bawdy lounge entertainer in the late 50's and 60's whose comedy and music was based around one topic - sex.  At the time she caused quite a stir, though today she seems tame relatively speaking.  That being said, every now and then even by today's standards she'll hit you with something of questionable taste. :)  Ultimately, she broke down a lot of barriers and is now considered a pioneer in women's comedy.

Catherine O'Hara as 'Dusty Towne' satirized Rusty in the early 80's on SCTV.
