Well, it was the 70s and he and his crew were having a good time in show business, so I'm guessing he was.

The entire cast of Saturday Night Live were doing coke out the ass at the time (and probably still are).

I remember seeing a couple of idiots with guitar and drums dressed in medical scrubs and all they did was sing "Hospital, hospital, like it, like it" again and again.

Completely retarded but for some reason I remember it like yesterday.

I used to really like Gene Gene the Dancin Machine. He was just some big black dude dressed in 70s attire and he would come out and dance around for no reason. It made no sense but it was funny.

Carol Connors- an amazing porno actress appeared on the Gong Show and starred in a parody of the Gong Show in "Candy Goes To Hollywood", where she was fucked by a Chuck Barris lookalike. I'm not sure which appearance came first.And I'm not sure if Chuck didn't really fuck her on his show.

"Palisades Park" is a song written by Chuck Barris and recorded by Freddy Cannon. A tribute to New Jersey's Palisades Amusement Park, it is an up-tempo rock and roll tune led by a distinctive organ part. The track also incorporates amusement park sound effects.
Background

Barris wrote a song about an amusement park and it was suggested he use the name of an amusement park as the title. One night he was in Manhattan when he looked toward the New Jersey Palisades Cliffs, on which the amusement park sat. That was when inspiration hit and the title was added. Years later the Palisades Amusement Park closed, on September 12, 1971.[1]

Released by Swan Records as a B-side to "June, July and August," "Palisades Park" broke in when a Flint, Michigan radio DJ played it by mistake. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 23–30 June 1962,[2] the biggest hit of Cannon's career.[3]

The song was covered by Shelley Fabares on her 1962 album The Things We Did Last Summer, Jan & Dean covered this song on their album Jan & Dean's Golden Hits in 1962, Gary Lewis and the Playboys on their 1965 album A Session With Gary Lewis And the Playboys, The Beach Boys on their 1976 album 15 Big Ones, and The Ramones on their 1989 album Brain Drain.

Though never officially recorded and released, the song was also performed by Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band on their Tunnel of Love Express Tour in 1988.[4]

In addition, the song was performed live by The Stompers, a Boston-based band with members from Lynn, Mass. (Freddy Cannon's home town, although Freddy was born in Swampscott, Mass. as Frederick Picariello) beginning in the late 1970s. However, the group only recorded by the track on a live album released in 1994.[5][6]

New York City garage punk band The Devil Dogs covered the song for its 1990 album, Big Beef Bonanza.

In 1987, Cannon recorded "Kennywood Park" (which, unlike Palisades Park before it, is still in operation),[7] a reworking of the song about the Pittsburgh amusement park of the same name. It was issued as a limited edition 45 vinyl single.

Cannon also used a version of the song as a jingle for Boston's Oldies station WODS-FM, Oldies 103 in the 90's (Freddie's hometown is Lynn, Mass).[8]

More recently "Palisades Park" appeared in the films Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, picturing Barris' life, and X-Men: First Class, during a scene set in 1962, the year of the song's initial release.
