The greatest song stylist of my generation, and a man who would bend the lyrics to fit his incoherent self, possibly by accident, while not claiming a songwriting credit, likely because he didn’t know the real lyrics, but possibly because he was more fucked up than Al Jolson, the king of changing a word or two so he earned a cut of the rights.

I was introduced to it here. I believe one of our own created it. Sorry I don’t recall who.

And it was done at the comedic expense of the others, and they were some of the greats. COMPLETELY against what I was taught in improv class, but there are times when, competing against the greats, you need to toss your junior college friends to the wolves because, truth be told, they aren’t all that funny. ☹

Woohoo! A stray cat we fostered for a few weeks is immortalized in this project and appears at :26. We called him Skinny White Boy for obvious reasons. He had a lot of personality and would have made a welcome addition to the family if he hadn’t kept trying to rape my two fixed females, much to their annoyance. Aside from that, I really liked him and miss him. I do hope he’s had a good life with his new family. Thanks for finding him again for me.

I have always been a fan of Dramatic Chipmunk and Dramatic Lemur, but I think I tore my spleen when I [saw this](http://youtu.be/8UH7Ixvu8bg). The [original](http://youtu.be/q31XdlsC4D4) (I think) could have benefited from some classic porn music. (NSFW if you’re sensitive to animal sex).

I came in here to post the Richard Simmons one. One of the extremely few times when consummate professional Ryan Stiles loses it. And look at Greg Props in the background. He is laughing so hard he is in pain.
