[mickeymousebiker1]

Love ya, Ernie! The rest were (and remain) posers!

This song got nationwide exposure when Kaiser Broadcasting used it as the theme for their Friday Night Drive-In Movie. I know; I heard it every week on San Francisco's KBHK, Channel 44.

Where can you buy this on mp3?

[signoremorabito]

@rithra1213 no, this song is so old and hard to find...actually found on accident at the ghoulardifest a few years ago and bought the whole thing on CD. What I could do is if you PM me your email I could send it to yah...

@signoremorabito Love this song, please send it to my email: czar1213@yahoo.com

Anyone know the name of the musical theme with the the cellos and the harmonica he used as a theme song?

[Donkey9900]

@yuckydoo123 "Desert Rat" by Duane Eddy, 1963. I consider myself not only VERY lucky to own a mint copy of the 45, but the picture sleeve it came in. Picked it up for $10 at a record show at the Autoworkers Hall in Parma in the 1990s.

Great montage! Yes, I have one of those black & White postcards (@ :25) too. I think it says "Stay Sick Knif"--got to find it.

And who can forget Manner's Big Boy?

Many thanks for this signoremorabito.

[signoremorabito]

@maxreger100 I actually found deep in my old collection of items, two old Ghoulardi orange bumper stickers from manners...

Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Ernie left Cleveland for Hollywood several others tried to imitate his character Ghoulardi. NOBODY even came close to duplicating his genius. The original Ghoulardi (Ernie Anderson) can NEVER be replaced. Rest in Peace Ernie!

[signoremorabito]

@yekyrneh yeah Ernie was the guy, often imitated but never duplicated

@yekyrneh

While I have to admit that I never saw Ghoulardi, I grew up watching The Ghoul here in Detroit. Ron Sweed may have been heir apparent to Ernie Anderson but he was no slouch in the comic genius department.
