I'll have to admit, ... ( 4 months ago by 34fitz)
I'll have to admit, anytime I hear of girl named Lydia, whether in the news, entertainment, sports, etc. my mental "record player" kicks in with Groucho singing that song.
He was a great entertainer, that Julius Marx.

99% percent of the individuals billed as comedians today don't have a trace of the wit, versatility, and timeless charm that Groucho and his brothers had.

what they don't show you in this version is Dick Cavette tries to almost slide himself into requesting this song by asking about Groucho's musical career and Groucho intrupts him and ask's Cavette if he wants to hear Lydia. Just goes to show you what a performer Groucho was, he knew exactly what the people want

So did Cavett - it's no coincidence that the band had the full arrangement of the song before Groucho sang it.

Yes, he is. The 31st anniversary of his passing will be this Tuesday. Do you know, the announcement of his passing got little to no media attention? Wanna know why? That was the same week that everybody was buzzing about some hip-swiveling drug-taking, seriously overweight, one-time "king of rock n' roll" passing away. What was his name again?? .....Oh, yes, Elvis Presley. His death COMPLETELY overshadowed Groucho's 3 days later.
Ah, well. I miss Groucho a lot.
Elvis, not as much.

Anyone else see how he seems to get more and more into it and almost younger and younger as the song goes on?
Shalom to you, Grouch. I hope you and Harpo and Chico are up there laughing it up with Abbot and Costello and Laurel and Hardy and Chaplin and Moe and Curly and Larry and all the other greats.
After all, God may take the form of a man up there, maybe not- but I'm sure he wouldn't mind a laugh or two that only those greats can deliver.
Right now, we can ALL use laughs...........
Isn't it funny how ... ( 3 months ago by GoBackToSchoolDummy)
Isn't it funny how people refer to Elvis being a fat slob when the fact is that he wasn't nearly as fat as people like you make him out to be. And he wasn't overweight until the last part of his life. You want to see fat? Try looking at current pictures of Stevie Wonder.
I look at Stevie ... ( 3 months ago by JWinCT)
I look at Stevie Wonder as a FAR more serious musician than the Pelvis. Stevie may be a little overweight moving into later middle age (can't verify that, don't have any new pics of him). But there's one thing about Stevie: I can almost guarantee you he's not the quasi-talented, fat-butt, drug-taking, womanizing piece of work that Elvis was!!! Stevie, I'm afraid has more talent in his pinkie then Elvis had in his whole body. All Elvis could do was sing. So can I. Big deal.
Stevie has kept ... ( 3 months ago by JWinCT)
Stevie has kept busy in the music business his WHOLE career. Elvis WASTED the last 16-or-so years of his life making crappy movies, eating Twinkies, taking drugs, nailing any woman that moved, and, in, the end, dying on the toilet, VERY symbolic of the last 80% of his musical career!! Elvis' only good period was until he got drafted. After that he was just schmutz. Musically.

Groucho was around 80 years old when he did this..he took care of himself.
To get the inside story on Groucho up to 1971, read "Son of Groucho" written by his son Arthur Marx. It'll give you some perspective on "Father" as "Big Feet" (Groucho's pet name for Arthur) called him. It'll also give you an idea what it's like to have a famous father and try to make a name for yourself at the same time...
