I want this song played at my funeral.

And you do! ^^ Yakety Sax is awesome, and a great way to make fun of the square Jazz losers that have their noses so high that it rains into them.

Boots also made two appearances on "The Jackie Gleason Show" within its 1966-70 iteration on CBS; on one of them, he performed "Yakety Sax." This was ironic, insofar as in many ways Benny's show had similarities, format wise, to Gleason's (knockabout comedy, bevies of beautiful girls, and the star being in control of all aspects of his show's production).

On this day in 1969 {March 16th} Boots Randolph performed "Yakety Sax" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'

Six years earlier on Feb. 3rd, 1963 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #35 and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100

He played on three #1 records; "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison and Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" and "I Want To Be Wanted"

Boots Randolph passed away on July 3rd, 2007 at the age of 80

All can think of are cute Brits running in their underwear. And I want to chase them.

On 'The Benny Hill Show' the song was performed by Ronnie Aldrich and his Orchestra. All three versions Boots' 1958, then his 1963, and Ronnie Aldrich's are great versions.

This is the original 1958 RCA recording Boots did.

Der Saxophonist von Allgäu Power mit Band spielen das noch reichlich schneller aber mind. 5 lang. Live auf dem Vorbrücker Schützenfest 1. August 1999.

Der Hammer wenn der Saxophonschall aus 1,5 m in die Ohren hallt.

Boots played sax for Elvis through much of the 60s up to about '67 or so. Played on a lot of great bluesy stuff of his like Reconsider Baby, I Feel So Bad, Like a Baby, Down in the Alley, Hi-Heel Sneakers.
