  • This is indeed a fine piece of work by Freberg. My dad played this until the groves on the LP ran smooth. Today's audience wouldn't have a clue to the humor unless they were familiar with the Lawrence Welk Show of the late 1950's. The impression and mannerisms are dead on and clever.

    Freberg is one of the molds of modern parodies. Stan Freberg, and Alan Sherman were a few the influences that inspired Weird Al Yankovic.

  • Lawrence Welk was so cheesy he just asked to be sent up.

  • This was originally performed on Stan's CBS radio series in August 1957; this is the version he recorded [without a studio audience] around the same time for Capitol records [originally issued in two parts on the "45 single" (separated at 3:40)]. Billy May brilliantly emulates Welk's "champagne music" motif; Peggy Taylor impersonates the Lennon Sisters and Alice Lon; Daws Butler is the "other sailor" at the end.
