Followed by Pall Bearers and Weeping…


A Neil Innes classic, from back in the days of
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band gigs.
There are days when that could be my theme song.
Most of them actually…

Leslie Nielsen stared his career off as a leading man type of actor.
He had the solid good looks, the height and the personality to be
an imposing figure in front of a camera.
He did quite well, though not A-shelf success he was comfortable.
Then towards, what everyone thought was, the end of his career
he decided to shift to goofy comedies.
Talk about a good move.
The last several years of his acting career were his best.
He starred in well respected, and attended, movies and television
programs centered around the Frank Drebin character.
Frank was an honorable but deeply flawed, some might say
mentally challenged, police detective who usually solved his
cases through sheer luck and much embarrassment.
Here he is as Frank, questioning a woman about a crime…

Judy Tenuta with an overview of the family unit.
The ones that aren’t locked away in an asylum.
Some interesting lines here…

This is the epitome of a humorous Monty Python ditty.
Lyrics and music by Eric Idle, with John Cleese and Terry
Jones added as a preservative and to reduce settling.
A grand piece, it gives you perspective when things don’t
seem to be going well.
From the flick of the same name…

From the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield flick “Back to School”.
A business class lesson can work two ways, as it is in this
case with Rodney as the real world business owner and
the business class professor as the instructor.
It’s the contrast between the two that makes this piece
entertaining, on paper versus reality.
Don’t mess with the waste removal guys…
