Eleanor Rigby Picks Up the Mice

From sometime in (I assume) the late 60s, please enjoy the hilarious Spike Jones alumnus Doodles Weaver and his -- shall we say -- idiosyncratic take on The Beatles' classic.



Pretty funny, I think. And I was gobsmacked to learn yesterday that Doodles was Sigourney Weaver's uncle.

Have a great weekend, everybody!!!

That was funny.

Good ol' Dr. Demento. Back in the 70's, his radio show played on Sunday nights at around 9 pm.

Popular favorites from the show were "Whole Lotta Love" played by a kazoo band and "Pencil Neck Geek", to name but a couple.

That's great! I bet the mop tops who have liked it too.

I thought you might like this one. I don't see him making those moves in the pit, though.

I've heard it before, and it's still strange and hilarious.
