@TJM060765 Yes I know. If you scroll down you'll see a question by neatoauctions; I was responding to that but YouTube doesn't nest the threads of these comments, so it looks like I was misidentifying the music. The tune Ernie originally used for the "Percy" segments is "Celestial Nocturne" by the Les Baxter Orch.
@silentclowns The song here is not "Mack the Knife"(that was the song that played in the background during sequences of blackout sketches. The song here is Robert Maxwell's "Solfeggio".
@neatoauctions It's "Mack the Knife" (or "Moritat") from the original cast recording of "The Threepenny Opera". The entire cut is on "The Ernie Kovacs Record Collection" CD
Just brilliant!

I thought this was Ernie! I kept saying "I've never seen this Percy routine!". Well done.

Really love how you duplicated the kinescope look of the day. Looks like you pulled this off of a '50s network shelf.
