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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjCeqJiHmew 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. |

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. |

26 Oct 17 - 09:03 PM (#3884921) Subject: RE: Gobel yodel From: GUEST,.gargoyle 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. SCRIPT 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, Gargoyle (It is always easier for a lazy British prat To protest that... there might be copyright. )
