hey lady with the 9 year old......maybe this got a pass in the 50's and 60's but won't fly today. If you enjoy this you are putting down an entire race. I think you had better sit that little 9 year old down and explain that people were ignorant back then and didn't know better. What is your excuse?

[boogaludo]

@gussie716 ....I think this one is not about putting down an entire race. It's about the same old conflicts about a new generation wearing strange clothes and listenening to strange music. What is now your excuse to be so ignorant not understanding what this song is about? Here in Germany there is a phrase used for people lacking on humor: "If you have to laugh you will go down in the basement."

Wow, I was a college student in 1957 in Chicago, and the Art Hillard radio show used to play this among other commedies..often. Another was a knock on the door and Art would say,

"Just a moment, The mayor of chicago, Well Mayor Daley. "And what would you like to say

the people of Chicgo today?" and the oft played reply was, "This city is going to the dogs!.

I would like to say to all you people who can't say crap without a mouthful. Don't listen if you don't like, quit spreading negative comments. I happen to think Buddy Hackett is still entertaining and clean, funny comedy. I don't have to cover my 9 year old daughters's ears, or have to turn something inappropriate! These were real comic geniuses in their day. So shut your mouth about getting technical about the R's and L's and ethnicity. It's stupid that you put someone else down, but I sure di

This disc charted in the early spring of 1956. Note the topical references--the songs "Rock Around the Clock By Bill Haley & the Comets, "Dungaree Doll" by Eddie Fisher, and "Seventeen" by Boyd Bennett & His Rockets, as well as the book The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit by Sloane Wilson (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1955).

least bit funny of his stuff...strikeout.

[takeanything]

isn't the other side where he's the waiter for the restaurant and at the end the kitchen is closed?

[boogaludo]

no it isn't ....the flip side is ''Ting Me A Ton (Sing Me A Song)'' which has no ''waiter for the restaurant'' statement...

[mrmjb1960]

@takeanything That's"The Chinese Waiter"..this is the sequel.

[655treefrog]

THANK YOU! I used to have this single years ago...long gone, thanks for the memories.

[oiyabastard]

look , chinese DO NOT PRONOUNCE THEIR L'S they dont say clams . they say crams

[rudyiking]

Then they would be able to pronounce rice as rice and not lice.

[zenzmurfy]

Chinese(assuming its cantonese in this context) do not pronounce the R sound at all, so when the R sound word appears, the R becomes something else.

I think it's the japanese who mix up R's with L's, even in print.

[mberardi11]

Oh, you're right then. With that in mind, this bit is not funny.
