Boy oh boy! Gale and Dale sure were natty dressers. I wonder how their
careers went after that inspired performance? I don't remember ever
having heard of them before ...

For some strange reason, listening to those gospels makes me crave
chocolate.

Upon receiving news that Matthew Kruk had made the remarks below, and after
consultations with my Joint Chiefs of Staff, being briefed by members of my
Cabinet and many telephone conversations with various World Leaders, I have
come to the following conclusions:


I never thought of Welk as being a doobie brother..... far out, man.

Amazing. Just amazing. I mean, even Myron Floren knew what was up.

I saw that some idiot in the comments section was trying to explain
that it wasn't really a drug song, but that a "toke" was merely a puff
of smoke from a locomotive. (See? All this fuss over nothing!)

BTW, the Welk clip was posted by Tom Shipley.

Musically, he was a lot more hip than the polka rut he got himself stuck in
would suggest...start with his hit "Calcutta" from 1961 and work your way
backwards....r

Looking at their site at http://www.brewerandshipley.com/ they still
perform every so often.

Interesting info. According to their site One Toke was banned by the
FCC and got them on Nixon's Enemies List.

If that was the reason, then Lawrence Welk ought to have been on the List
too....r

I agree. Don't see how the FCC could have banned the song since it
seems to still be playing on oldies stations.

This is probably like all those songs that were "banned" right after
9/11...never was the FCC, but a whole lot of radio stations at the time took it
upon themselves to say "people are gonna be touchy for a while; let's take them
out of rotation for the time being"....r
