"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"

Guy Garvey played this classic Frank Loesser holidaymaker at the end of his BBC 6 program [@ 1:55: 00] last night (YouTube). If this is what our grandparents listened to on New Year's Eve, it's small wonder that sales of the late Mitch Hedberg's favorite brand of cigar - It's-a-Boys - always seemed to spike round September 30 of the following year. Kay Kyser & His Orchestra, ladies and gentlemen, with vocals by Harry Babbitt, and swooning backing vocals courtesy The Campus Kids, whose breakout vocalist, Mike Douglas ("Ole Buttermilk Sky"; "The Old Lamplighter") later joined the lists of the chat-show immortals thanks in part to the backstage arts of the young Roger Ailes.
