…..and they sing a champagne music song, with bubbles.

My father, every Sunday morning played Polka music in our car on the tube type radio. Then again there wasn’t much else on

Welk’s California license plates read A1ANA2.

“Somebody turn off the bubble machine..” Stan Freberg’s spoof of Lawrence Welk….1950s?

Wunnerful.

OK, since we’re playing trivia…

We all know who Donald Duck’s nephews were: Huey, Dewey and Louie. Do you know who Daisy’s nieces were? April, May and June.

How about Mickey’s nephews? Bonus points if you can name Minnie’s nieces.

Accordion to whom?

Ohhh bad Dad joke

What was Lawrence Welk’s favorite mountain range?

The Polkanos.

Ook that joke I will never understand !

I remember them!

You have to be of a certain age to get that

LOL – That I get the joke makes me feel really old.

Was today’s strip guest written by Pastis?

Now we’re dating ourselves.

And there’s the Mexican couple who named their twin boys Jose and Hose B. And the mom just gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and was knocked out and her brother named the kids: the girl was Denice, the boy was Denephew.

Who’s Lawrence Welk?

Been hanging out with Stephan Pastis I see.

I guess we know which trivia team is going to lose.

If he had triplets, he could have named them Anna, Dianna and Trianna

You can still see it on PBS, the singing has no soul as they just go for the hooks, BUT look on you tube, there is a print of two of them singing ‘one toke over the line’ they clearly had no clue what the song was about and went with it because of lines like ‘sweet jesus’ I’d love to know what happened when someone told them what they had a song about.

“Tank you Bobby and Cissy. Wasn’t dat delightful”

LOL!

This joke is an age filter – those of us who laughed are old.

A crotch is where he keeps his car.

I enjoyed watching the Lawrence Welk show. Wunnerful, Wunnerful.

IYKYK . . .Boomers know!

Who else reads Mother Goose and Grimm? Mom’s boyfriend seems to be Irv.

Hit it with your horn Harry! Stan Freberg

Great!

I thought they’d all fall off their stools!

‘And now a snappy little tune from the Lemon Sisters.’ ( I know, Lennon Sisters.) We’ve all got similar accents in North Dakota. Except for Peggy Lee and Angie Dickenson.

That joke is a golden oldie just like Welk’s music.

Mom loved it so we watched it. Listened anyway. I usually had a book or my homework.

I came across some “Sing Along with Mitch” (Miller) clips recently. My Mom always said, “Those guys aren’t much to look at, but they sure can sing.”

Rim Shot!
