@sophelet I feel more were laughing with her.
-
These two never fail to make me smile. I wish I grew up with TV like this. Glad to know she was in on the joke. Goodnight Elva. Wherever you are.
-
I'm laughing now they must have been pissing themselves when this was first aired back in the 60's.. Snozzle was never better
-
We need more Mrs. Elva Miller songs. Thank you America.
-
Thanks for posting this. This is classic !
-
Mrs. Miller was doing operatic campy versions of pop songs of the late 60s that were almost as funny as Tiny Tim.
-
Thanks for this! It sure brings back good memories. "Good night Mrs. Calabash where ever you are."

@phantomvibrationsX To the contrary, in the beginning of her career Mrs. Miller took herself completely seriously. It was only the marketeers that placed her in the role of comedian, and she bitterly complained that her producers ensured a musically-rotten outcome by recording her when she was exhausted or before she could adequately learn the material. Regardless, it is a fact that her strange combination of circumstance sold over a half a million records.

Durante's show when Helen Traubel was his guest is matchless! If anyone can find these gems and put them on You Tube, you'll be cannonized. Superhartline

Thank you for your kind message. I am relieved indeed to find that I am not the only person who has trouble with my buttons. I often click on or twiddle the wrong one.
Mrs Miller's dignified manner reminds me vividly of that of Great Britain's answer to Emily Post, the remarkable Mrs Hyacinth Bucket.

I meant to give this comment a "thumbs up," and accidentally clicked the "thumbs down" icon. Sorry. This was a truly gracious statement, and I agree wholeheartedly with you!
