I've often wondered what the band really wanted to play. Could they really swing? Could they really rock? Did they make fun of Welk's accent behind his back? Did they all end up in therapy? Were the pastie smiles surgically fixed? Some of the chicks might have been hot if the wardrobe department hadn't done such a good job of hiding it. Did LW get lots of tail? He should have.

Damn show is still in reruns. My kids have seen it and were incredulous. My grandmother, God rest her soul, viewed LW as the savior of television and secular music. I grew up thinking I didn't get the joke. I always wanted to hear him do The Lemon Song, Yellow Snow, or something to show me he was in on the joke.

Still, did LW get lots of tail?

Peace, Mooh.
