Customer Reviews True Title Did they enjoy doing the Album, you bet they did and we can smile along with them. Obviously the title rings true along with the theme song. Darin and Mercer are Brilliant With the brilliance of Johnny Mercer, and Bobby Darin's smooth interprertation of the music, one can actually hear the joy in Darin's vocals while he performs. This is, in my opinion, the best collection Darin produced. TOP RATE. Reliving fond memories from childhood My Dad wore out this LP - and all of my siblings and I loved learning the "cool" words to the songs, singing along with him as he conducted Billy May's orchestra from our living room. When "Two of a Kind" was released over 40 years ago, I was a teenager living just north of Los Angeles. One of my brothers helped me track down this great Darrin/Mercer collaboration from Amazon. The surprises just kept coming the first time I listened to the CD - 1)I still could sing all the words, and 2)I finally "got" the jokes sprinkled throughout the recording - imitations of WC Fields, Elvis, Groucho Marx and Dean Martin, among others. What a bittersweet way to transport myself back to the good ole days. So I gave all my siblings this CD for Christmas and they've shared similar memories as they too have gone back in time to the days when there was always music blaring from the ole hi fi. . .
