During the late 1960s, Goodman recorded a mostly musical album featuring his wife, aptly entitled Dickie Goodman and His Wife Susan. Mr. Goodman sang one track on the record ("Never Play Poker with a Man Named Doc (or Eat at a Place Called Mom's)", paraphrasing Nelson Algren's novel A Walk on the Wild Side), and produced two break-in style pieces, with Susan singing the rest of the songs. In 1969 Goodman parodied the political unrest on college campuses with "On Campus" ( and the first moon landing with "Luna Trip" (. In 1975, Goodman parodied the movie Jaws with "Mr. Jaws" ( in 1975), becoming Goodman's biggest-selling record by achieving . gold disc status in September 1975. WLS played a customized version instead, with the line "This is Dickie Goodman at WLS" at the beginning. Goodman's final chart record was "Kong" ( in 1977), spoofing the 1976 King Kong film remake, followed by others that failed to chart.
