Ernie Kovacs - Wolfgang von Sauerbraten, German Disc Jockey

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Ernie uses his mastery of dialects in his comedic characterization of German Disc Jockey, "Wolfgang von Sauerbraten". It is interesting to note that, early in his career Ernie was actually a DJ over WTTM in his hometown of Trenton NJ. Kovacs seemed to have a fondness for the nonsense word "Pffft", as he used it with some regularity. It's fitting that his best friend, Jack Lemmon, starred in a 1954 movie entitled "Phffft".

Was Ernie suggesting that Germans at that time needed massive applications of deorderants?

@bikebeerrun1960 You bring up an interesting point. Ernie was very open to all types of music and it would be an interesting discussion point concerning his likes or dislikes of "death metal", rap, or even classic hard rock had he lived to hear those musical styles.
