The first and last tracks contain interviews of Phillip Proctor and Peter Bergman done by Steve Marshall, broadcast on NPR both before and after the 1972 United States presidential election.

All tracks are written by the Firesign TheatreThis album includes two interviews of Proctor and Bergman conducted by Steve Marshal of KNX radio in Los Angeles during the 1972 presidential election.

George Papoon was The Firesign Theatre's fictional choice as a 1972 presidential candidate and the interviews conducted on side one represent Proctor and Bergman's arguments in favor of his election while side two represents their post-election explanation as to why Papoon did not win.

Papoon was so successful getting the single cell votes that he was not allowed to campaign at hospitals, because all the germs would come over to his side and make him sick.

These included Lawrence Friends of the Martian Space Party (Lawrence, KS), Goonrot 666 (Topeka, KS), The Cowtown Cement Mixers and Bovid Cretins Laugh in Your Hat Chapter of Kansas City (Kansas City, MO), and Bulldada Time Control Labs (Glen Rose, TX), the latter of which evolved into the Church of the SubGenius.
