Poor Alex.
Loved that one!
Once again - you surpass yourself.
And on a side note - holy shit those harmonics are HUGE!!
I knew that song as The Lorenzo Stomp from The Lorenzo Cartoon Show of the 1960s. Anyone else?
I’ve never seen such big harmonicas.
Didn’t sound familiar, so I looked it up. I found this. I’m guessing this isn’t Lorenzo.
Yes, it started as a local Baltimore kids show on WJZ, channel 13, with Gerry Wheeler in the title role. I remember it, and was actually in the studio audience for one show, when I was 7 or 8 (early-mid 1960s). I just found this item (scroll down past the picture). I didn’t know that it was later syndicated by Westinghouse.
I finally got around to asking my son about this. He played saxophone for years and was a music major in college. He opined that on a 1-5 scale, with 5 being the top saxophonists in the world, Yakety Sax is a 3.5 or higher, particularly at the tempo Boots Randolph used. (Boots was a 5 as a saxophonist, of course, so a 3.5 was a tossoff for him.)
My son also said it’s inherently funny.
The best motto to have in life: over-promise and then over-deliver!!
Of course there is then this :
You’re on fire!
One of the best yet!! You continue to surpass all expectations!
@cochrane - there can never be too much second city.
Am I the only person on this board that has had The William Tell Overture “ruined” by A Clockwork Orange? (tried to find a YouTube video of it, but for some reason, they don’t seem to want to show an orgy in fast motion to WTO).
To me, the 1812 Overture will always be tied to Quaker Cereals.
And believe it or not, there is such a thing as a “puffing gun” for cereal.
Ref the car chase.
They edited the heck out that to make it fit the music, but it was awesome nevertheless.
That woman was a darn good stunt driver. And that car did far better than I expected for the type. If I never need to make a run for it, that Scion toaster might a good choice.
