Details:
Weirder than Weird Al, welcome to the world of Sy Marlo.

Marlo is an old school master of balloon animaltry who made the rounds of weddings and bar mitzvahs and was loved because of his wit and chutzpa. Audiences never knew what to expect, except that Sy would always entertain them with a new twist.

Balloon Animal Fantasies was originally recorded in the 70s, when Sy had a close call with death and it sat on a shelf collecting dust.

Now retired, Sy brought the project to Neal Foxâs indie label, Wire Duck Records. A company whose name was inspired by the Marx Bros. âWhy a duck?â routine would certainly see the entertainment value of balloon animal music. They did. (Maybe thatâs because Fox was once a backup singer on âItâs Gotta Get Better It Canât Get Worseâ, a single recorded by Baby Huey and the Bathtub Ring.)

With musical tracks updated by Fox, the EP includes the spicy adult track, Oh, Right There!, the electronic-world fusion piece, Poodle Hat, and an exclusive performance of Marloâs now famous Finale, recorded live at the Brickman Bar Mitzvah. The song captures the moment when Sy coined his phrase, âThis is Sy Marlo hoping all your balloon fantasies come true.â
