What Else Is There To Think About, Except My Job, My Dirty Job?

I'm not sure where this came from originally (I received it from a friend, who shall remain anonymous), or if it's under any sort of copyright law.  However, as a bit of a film buff and a fan of Orson Welles, I couldn't not pass it by.

So, first, some background: as most people are aware, Orson Welles had difficulty finding good paying work in Hollywood after the negative attention Citizen Kane received from the media empire of William Randoff Hearst.  The sheer number of projects he started on, but never got beyond a screenplay or initial test shots, is massive, and it would take several pages just to list them all.  However, by the end of his career he was paying the bills by doing voice acting.  (His final film roll was as the voice of Unicron for Transformers: The Movie.)

Among the various things he recorded was a set of three commercials for frozen peas, frozen fishsticks, and beef burgers.  The spots have become somewhat infamous in various circles (and parodies of them appeared several times on the short-lived Critic series), largely because of the existence of a short out-takes recording that features Welles running through the lines and arguing with the director.

That recording is what I was sent.

It's almost too much to listen to, as a man of great talent (and with an amazing voice) reads through material that is pure drivel.  It's almost depressing in some respects.  Despite that, I still recommend film buffs or Welles fans listen to it.  It's just one of those things you have to hear at least once.
