And Dara Gottfried. And I'm here with skinless, blind, armless, legless, Munchausen syndrome by proxy, Albert Decker disorder, gray bone. Paul's back. Hi Paul. That's an introduction like we give our guests on the show. Paul, I'm straight as they come, but for a skinless guy you're a handsome individual. I appreciate that.

I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I just wanted to, you know, I wanted to say, give a shout out to three of the Earwolf guys here, Jared O'Connell, Casey Holford, and Dave Seidel, who helped us set up a keyboard for an episode you guys will hear with Charles Fox, which was terrific. And they did yeoman work, which we appreciate. And Verdi Rosa got it all wired up and it

was important because Charles has written many wonderful hits and how else could Gilbert sing the hits from Zap. Oh my God. It was a terrific show. He said he wouldn't come on if I sang his songs. Not only did he let me sing his songs, he played accompaniment on the piano.

He did. And he was like totally into it. He wasn't, he wasn't just fooling around for He did. And he was like totally into it. He wasn't, he wasn't just fooling around for comic purposes. Although he hasn't written me back since I know. No. The jury's out. That was, I would also say that was one of Gilbert's finest vocal performances. It was.

My opinion. It was. And believe it or not, I'm actually serious. Top 70. So, so Dara's back. Paul's with her this time. Dara's back by popular demand because people loved the, what do we call the last one? Dara's CD collection? Yeah.

Because she couldn't find her 45s. So we sent her back out into the jungle to find her actual physical 45s, which were where? At your mom's house? No, actually they were in, I have a stack, but they're my mom's, my mom's 45s. They're your mom's 45s. Exactly. Oh good, so we're going back. We're going way back. Now once again, Gilbert and I do not know,

do you know what these songs are? No. Okay, I don't either, I sound like Kreskin. We've never met. That's right. And we have, Gilbert and I are going to guess, hopefully in a couple of notes, Paul has done research on them. So you have background information.

I have some background information, but I didn't find out till just now that it was your mother's 45. Oh yeah, this is my mother's. That explains a lot. Yeah. Or you want to turn the gig down? Yeah, right. Just as a little background, my mother, Heather Kravitz, was born in 1946. Okay?

Okay. So, and this was her record collection, and I basically have a big stack in the closet, and I just grab. Are any of these yours or should we be calling this episode? No, they're all my mom's. So we have to call this Heather Kravitz's 45th collection. Well they're mine now but I inherited them from my mother. We'll call it Dara and Mom's record collection. There you go.

But I basically just randomly grabbed a handful of them. Fantastic. So Gilbert and I will guess. We'll try to get this in in the tight 30 minutes and here we go. You want to kick it off? Kick it off. Number one. Thank you, Frankie. All right. So number one.

No, no, no, no, no, no. You don't tell us anything. We have to hear the music first. Jesus Christ. Paul. Come on, Paul. You're here for the first. How happens when it's not a piece of paper, Bush? You know. I was going to give an elegant introduction.

Shut the fuck up, Paul! Alright, Frankie. Welcome back to the show. Go ahead. Gil, this is your era. Gil, this is your era. Oh, my papa, to me you are so wonderful. Oh, my papa, to me you are so grand. Oh my papa.

So gentle and so wonderful. Oh my papa. I think we got it. Eddie Fisher. Eddie Fisher. Eddie Fisher. Very good. Eddie Fisher for one, but- Krusty the Clown did it.

This thing was covered by a hundred different people. Yeah, tell us some. Okay, here's some, since its debut, it was published in 1939, which was before Your Mother Was Alive, actually. And so anyway, here's some of the people who've covered the song. Lis Acia, Alan Breeze, Billy Cotton, Billy Vaughn, the Everly Brothers, Harry James, Guy Mitchell, Malcolm Vaughn, Susie and the Banshees. Wow. Wow. Which is an interesting one.

And it's mentioned, it's quoted in Frank Zappa's song, Billy the Mountain. And perhaps the best rendition of all, it is sung in the Simpsons by- Yes, Krusty the Clown. Krusty the Clown. Krusty the Clown's The Crown. Sings it in the Jackie Mason episode. Yes.

Jackie plays Rabbi Krustovsky. The episode's called Like Father, Like Clown. Nice work. Dara? It was number one hit in 1954 and it was originally a German, a nostalgic German song called Mein Papa. I love this. Research in stereo.

Yes! Darra's going to catch the Munchausen. Yeah, yes. One more. There was actually a television show that featured it. Really? Yeah. What show? Gomer Pyle.

Oh, okay. In addition to The Simpsons. There you go. Eddie Fisher. Was that Eddie Fisher's big hit? That was his signature hit. Yeah. Nice work, Gil. Okay. Number two. Okay. Uh-oh. Now number two.

No, man, I'm going to wait for Paul to ruin it before I start. Thank you, Heather Kravitz. Here we go. Yeah, this is Dara's day. Uh-oh. Good job. Yeah, this is Dora's day. Uh oh. Good job. Keisarazah!

I was just a little girl. Aw, perfect timing. I asked my mother, what will I be? Just lost her a couple of weeks ago. Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what she said to me. Keisarazah! Here's what she said to me

Hi Gilbert as my high school band teacher you to say you're subtle like a brick I guess you know this one All right, mr. Gottfried well who knows you guys have fat you guys have little information in front of you I'm not gonna ask you Gil what movie is this from exactly? What movie was it used in Dars day sang it in the movie not not a comedy not a love story Schindler's List wrong. Oh wait, was it the James. Not, not a comedy, not a love story. Schindler's list. Wrong. Oh wait, was it the James Cagney one? No.

No. Give up. Oh. Was it James Cagney one, love me or leave me? Yeah, I think so. This was the man who knew too much. Oh, Hitchcock. Oh wait, I have another one though.

You do? The Barefoot Contessa. Really? Yeah. Well she definitely sings. Oh wait, wait, wait, the phrase, Que Sera Sera came from the movie The Barefoot Contessa. She definitely sings it in The Man Who Knew Too Much, the remake, not the Peter Laurie version.

Yeah. The Jimmy Stewart version. And it also in 1956 won the Oscar for best song. It sure did. Yes. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yes. Yes. Yup. Yup. Yup. Pay attention to 1956. That's going to come up again.

Okay. By the way, is it possible for someone to die twice because Doris Day just died again, Gilbert, after you weighed in. Well, it happened to Julie Andrews. Yeah. She was actually not dead. She was hanging on by a thread. You sang it.

Put her over the top. We'll keep moving on in the interest of time. But that was fun. This was also in, this was also in what Simpsons episode. Was it in a Simpsons episode? Simpsons episode, Bart's Comet, sung by several characters as they wait for a comet to destroy Springfield. Paul, you surprised me.

All right. Okay. All right, Francis. With no skin. Yeah. I know this next one is sung by, oh, I'm sorry. That's Paul's gig. Don't take Paul's gig.

I'll get that. I'll take care of that, Frank. Oh, I should know this. On a day like today. It's Pat Booth! With a smile Well, is this Love Letters in the Sand? Good job, Frank!

Love letters in the sand I love you, Gilbert How you laughed when I cried I love you, Gilbert. Wow. Hadbun who sang every white, colorless, bloodless version of every rock and roll song. Like I loved, we'll have to play it on another episode side by side with, you know, Rudy Tootie. Oh, his Tootie, his Tootie, Fruity version. Yeah.

Oh Rudy. So, yeah, Hadbun was the- Who wrote Love Letters in the Sand? This is gonna turn out to be interesting. I know. It's somebody you know. Somebody I know personally? Well, not as-

Whoopi Goldberg? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, has a- Gilbert will recognize him. John Ritter. Close, very close. You mean who wrote the lyrics or the music?

Who wrote the music? Oh boy. The lyrics were Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny. The music was written by, are you ready? Give me a year. Sammy Con. No, what is the year? Let's see here.

It was written in 1931. 1931, right. Wow. Inspired by the 1881 Spanish Cavalier. Xavier Cougat. No idea. J. Fred Coutts. Wow. J. Fred Coutts. Who also wrote... What was the name of it? J. Fred Muggs. I know. That was the champ on the Today Show. That's what I was thinking of.

That's a different guy. Are we going back to... I thought, I didn't know the last name was Coots and I thought it was something else. J Fred Muggs was a chimpanzee on a talk show on Dave Garroway. Didn't we do chimpanzees today? That chimp performed Cunnilingus on Dave Garroway. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha But those were more innocent times. Oh they were. They really were. Perfect for a Pat Boone accompaniment.

J. Fred Coots wrote the classic Christmas Carol, Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I'm impressed. I'm impressed. And he also wrote, nobody will know this one, I don't know if you guys know this, do you know the song You Go To My Head? Sure. Yeah. Very nice romantic jazz song.

He wrote that too. J. Fred Coots. A little bit different from Love Letters In The Sand. J. Fred Mugs named after J. Fred Coots? And it's been five weeks at number one. Oh, that's sad. Top 100 chart during late June and July 1957. Pat Boone's still around. All right.

And his daughter had a number one hit, a mega hit. You light up my life. Oh yeah, that's right. Which was a song to Jesus. Written by a guy who was busted for killing, for rape. Yes, yes. Joe Brooks, yeah. That's so, well, I don't want to bring the show down.

Okay. What else do you have, Frank? I know, now it hurts getting interested. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Heather has some eclectic tastes. Yes. This is a great song written by the one and only J. Fred Kutz.

Okay. Here we go. Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity hot diggity could kiss that away bring me nobody sounds like Barry Como away what a wonderful feeling to feel that away tell me where have you been all my life oh hot diggity dog diggity oh what you do to me what you do to me hot diggity dog diggity oh what you do to me when you're holding me tight. Wow. You're getting all these.

Yeah. These are standards. Kind of. These are classic songs. There's one story I heard where they spoke to Groucho Marx, one of Groucho Marx's wives, and she made a snide insulting remark about Perry Como. Then the reporter asked Perry Como what he thought of her remark and he said well she just doesn't like Italians and so the reporter asked

Groucho and Groucho said that's not true she likes my brother Chico and he's Italian. My mother's mother, my grandmother, so disapproved of her marrying my father. Yeah. And that she actually said, you should have married Perry Como. And my mother said, I don't know Perry Como. That's amazing. That's amazing. The story stayed in the family for years.

That's amazing. So you know where the phrase hot diggity dog came from? I do not. J. Fred Coots? Yeah. So you know where the, where the phrase hot diggity dog came from? I do not. J Fred Coutts. There you go. Okay. So it dates to at least 1928 when Al Jolson was recording, recorded saying, hot diggity dog, hot kitty, hot pussycat.

Didn't I tell you, didn't I tell you you'd love it after performance of the tune, there's a rainbow around my shoulder. That's very disturbing. Take that to the bank. The line, ooh what you do to me was written by one of Cesar Romero's pool boys. Exactly. Ooh what you do to me. And that's also what Al Jolson would scream out when it came. I didn't know that. Hot diggity dog. Hot diggity dog.

Hot diggity dog. So have you ever heard of a web TV show called Doom Patrol? Sure. It's an outgrowth of DC Comics, right? Some sort. Yes. There was a recent episode in which a giant balloon shaped like buttocks was launched into the air playing a song. Wait a minute,

it gets better. Okay. Playing a song on an attached jukebox, playing this song on a detached jukebox, reportedly sending people insane within 20 minutes. Wow. I don't know which anecdote I like better. Yeah. Gail, we have to Vote on best anecdote. He's finding much different information. The buttock shaped balloon or Al Jolson ejaculating. Yeah. Al Jolson, when he would get a blowjob backstage from, here we go, hat diggity tog diggity. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

They were simpler times. Yes. They were more interesting times. Yes. What else? And the depression was going on. We will return to Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal podcast after this. Let's drive good together with Bonterra and Volkswagen. Buy any sustainably focused Bonterra bathroom tissue,

on Paramount+. What else you got there, Frank? One, two, three, four... Well... Well, actually, uh... Yeah, yeah, okay. Come on. Okay, you could have taken that one out.

That one we could have let Paul have, actually. Yes. You know what's... Bill Haley and the Comets. You bet. Yes. Good job, how associated that song is with Happy Days. And how many guests we've had from Happy Days. We had Donnie Most, we had the Fonz, Henry, we had Marion Ross, Mrs. C, and now we've had Charles Fox, who wrote the damn theme song.

Yes! And what's wild is all the songs we've heard tonight are written by Charles Fox. I didn't know that. Not a lot of people know that. Not J. Fred Poots? Not J. Fred Poots. That's a pseudonym. Are you sure?

We're not digging it down, digging it. Are you sure? Well, you know what Charles didn't say too, when he was here, is that when they were writing the Happy Days theme, Sunday, Monday, Happy Days, Tuesday, they were inspired by, that Bill Haley used the clock, so they went to the calendar. Oh, wow. That's great. With the late Norman Gimble, Charles' writing partner,

that's where he got the idea. Rock Around the Clock was the theme song for what movie? Oh, Blackboard Jungle. Blackboard Jungle, ding ding ding ding ding. He's right, with Glenn Ford, Sydney Poitier and former podcast guest Jamie Farr. Wow. It also had Vic Morrow. Yes.

Wow. Yeah. Spectacular. Nice work. Spectacular. Nice work. Spectacular. I got it wrong. Gilbert's on his game. What did you say?

It's used in American Graffiti. But it's not the theme song, as Gilbert correctly points out. Right. Yes. Nice work. I was hoping you'd get the podcast guest in there. You slid Jamie Farr right in there. That was nicely done.

So we're tracking your mother's life really through these songs. I guess so. Are you going in chronological order? I just randomly picked a couple 45s. I can picture your mom now with the sock off. Yeah. Oddly enough, and I don't think you were looking for this, they all circle right around 1956. That's true.

Like this one's 55, you know, there's a couple 57. I guess that's when she was collecting 45s. Fascinating. She still has them. Yeah. I have them now. You physically have the 45s. I physically have the 45s.

This is too cool. How many are there? I have a stack. Do you have the little yellow, as Gilbert calls it, the little yellow swastika? Swastika. Yellow swastika. Yes, I do.

All right. Okay, next one. We'll keep going. Here it comes. Okay, next one. We'll keep going. Here it comes. ["How Much Is That Bigle in the Wind"] How much is that bigle in the wind?

Wait a minute. Oh, no. Oh, let me guess. Is it the father of a podcast guest? Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Father of Bonaparte Cascaisjo Greg. And grandfather of... Jennifer White. Oh, uh, yeah. Jennifer. Gilbert's gonna cover this. So 1953.

The great Mickey Katz. And Katz was most well known for his parodies, but he created more traditional klezmer music as well. He did a lot of stuff, as we pointed out with Joel Gray. Yeah. Yeah. Now there's something mysterious. I looked him up. First, I found Mickey Katz, easy enough.

I found the Joel Gray connection, but I searched, I was trying to find out if it's the right Mickey Katz. Yeah. How many Mickey Katz's were there that were recording? I don't know, but I searched all kinds of ways to get Katz and Gray in the same piece and I never found it. Interesting. So it's just very strange. Yes. Well, why should this be different than out in the same piece and I never found it. Interesting. So it's just very strange.

Yes. Well, why should this be different than out in the research? Did you know the Broadway musical Cats has absolutely nothing to do with Mickey Cats? I was not aware of that. Do you have that? Memories. But here's another thing I didn't know. Now, do you know Patti Page's song that would come up right now?

Of course, it's a parody of P Patty Page's song. How much is that? Again, I tried to search all over. Another search failure. I tried to search everywhere to see those two tunes in the same page. Are you using a Univac computer from 1952? I've got a... He's still using the free AOL disc. I will, there's still five extra hours on it. I thought Gilbert would appreciate AOL disc. We'll look for still five extra hours on it. It's free! I thought Gilbert would appreciate a free disc.

Gilbert, if you were approached to do a novelty record at this stage of your career, I think you should cover how much is that Piccolo. That would be perfect. Or Alan Sherman's Don't Buy the Liverwurst. Oh yeah! There's one more song. I have one more song. Harvey and Sheila. Harvey and Sheila, Harvey and Sheila.

This is fun. We've got one more. There's one more. I think Frank said that's all he's got. I have one more. He's got one more. We'll call this a bonus track. I'm a little distracted by storm warnings in

here, but this is a bonus track. One extra. It's a bonus track. That gets back to. One extra. It's a boner track. That gets back to our sponsor. I'm gonna make the AOL dial up sound so Paul feels more at home. Hang on. Yeah. Gn-gn-gn-gn.

Brrrrrrr. Remember that? That was awful. Sure. What do you mean remember it? Sure. You're still on it. Used it last week.

Paul's on a Univac that was made in 1948. Well, it's one for the money, two for the show. Oh. How would we know this one? Okay, I give up. Come on. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. This one's impossible. I did the research on this. It's Elvis Presley. No. Yeah, it is. I don't think so.

It's Andy Chapman. I know it was written and first recorded by? Carl Perkins. There you go, in 1955. Who do you think you're dealing with? Wow. Let's go, cats. Mickey Cats.

See? See, Gil? He was playing bass. Mickey cats. And he'd go, let's go cats. And then Mickey would kick in on the klezmer. These were fun. You have to make, I think you have to pick harder ones next time. Oh, I could do that. I randomly just picked, but I could pick harder ones. But it's some of the, some of the ideas like, like, uh, that go along with these tunes, familiar tune, but did you know?

Yes. That Carl Perkins had a conversation with Johnny Cash in which Cash talked about some military guy who had blue suede shoes, gave Carl Perkins the idea for the song and Carl Perkins had a story told Johnny Cash that gave Johnny Cash the idea for the song. Interesting. And Carl Perkins had a story told Johnny Cash that gave Johnny Cash the idea for I Walk the Line. How about that, Gil? Yeah. That's some nifty research that Rayburn came up with at the last minute. Yeah. I spent hours coming up with that. When he's not giving away the answer. Paul, you saved the show. All right. All right. Can I, can I rip through who's covered blue, uh, blue switch?

What are we talking about? Quickly because Frank's house is coming off of its foundation. Bill Haley, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, the Dave Clark Five, the Beatles, uh, plastic Ono band, Albert King, Jerry Lee Lewis. I'm going to play the Oscars like wrap it up music. There it is. And there's more. I think you forgot one.

What? J. Fred Poots. J. Fred. And right now. Poots. Poots. J. Fred Poots. Right now.

I like Poots better. Right now at Frank Ferdorosa's house you'll hear. Yes, we're recording. Coming up next week on part two of Songs That Exist. Great job research team. I think we could go longer because Frank doesn't have a place to go. There is no safer place than being in a constructed room within a building with, you know, I'm fine.

It's just my kids might be in a tree. All right. So this has been Gilbert and Frank's amazing colossal obsessions with our guests. Uh, well, I'm Gilbert Gottfried, Frank Santopadre and our guest, Tara Gottfried and, uh, eyeless, eyeless, eyelidless, eyebrowless, raybone. I see what you mean.

And eyeglassless, raybone. I'd like to dedicate this episode to J. Fred Poots. Yeah. Not Coots. Blue suede. No, no. He had a bigger body of work. He had a much more impressive body of work than Coots. Poots over Coots.

Who used to go down on Dave Carroll. Oh right. I'm surprised you didn't sing Santa Claus's Coming to Town. We'll do another one. I was looking forward to that. Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see. Que sera, sera

What will be, will be When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead Will we have rainbows day after day? Here's what my sweetheart said Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be. Now I have children of my own. They ask their mother, what will I be? Will I be handsome? Will I be rich? I tell them tenderly

Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be Que sera, sera
