Some humor simply cannot be explained, Gargoyle. With George Gobel I believe it helps to be a Midwesterner.

Thank you Leeneah,

Your special region of Mudcat appears to be "below the line."

Perhaps, you could explain the peculiar humor that fascinates you? To a Yankee this is a vacuous expense of BBC funding and a supreme example of social agenda orchestrated by government. Blessed be your Brexit is near.

George Gobel - - - Sings and Yodels a Doctor`s Special

NOPE ....DOES NOT PLAY.
I bet you have one of those expensive HTML5 Mac Machines.

Explain why you believe GG excells
Kerry Christensen
Bibi Hendl
Mary Schneider
or even the yodeling cat

It's going to take one Hockey stick of a lot of work to find a workable source. I have spent one hour so far.

Sincerely,

You have me laughing, Don, and I just woke up.

Gargoyle, if the link doesn't work for you, get on YouTube and search for this:

George Gobel - - - Sings and Yodels a Doctor`s Special

Sorry, I won't post the lyrics, which are probably copyrighted.

Yodel fans, do you notice the angelic smile as he yodels? Notice the upraised (sometimes) eyebrows? They help with the tone and the high notes.

I find the monologue a little tiresome, but the yodeling resumes at 5:02.

I do remember one bit of his - he told about how, instead of an electric guitar, he played a gas guitar.

Thanks, Leeneia! I don't remember him singing at all, let alone playing a guitar or yodeling!

Holy B.F. Batman ! ! !

Does that GUEST suggested link... lead down a rabbit hole... to an Adobe flash drive "up-grade?"

How very kind of you to share.

Will you kindly post the lyrics HERE? ? ?

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

So many "upstarts" like your posting....have become "dust in the wind"....For the moment, the DT and Mudcat endure.

When I was a kid in the 1950's, my whole family used to love the George Gobel show. How we laughed, but I never appreciated how good a singer he was.

Here's a song plus monologue with some fine yodelling toward the front:

Boy, can he sing high and sweet!

Also on YouTube you can see an episode of the Johnny Carson Show with George Gobel, Bob Hope and Dean Martin. Once Gobel comes on, the other two might as well not be there.
