Geeze, I remember Tubby Boots from back in the early '60s! He was quite famous, doing risque songs and comedy (mostly in strip clubs), and had a version of "Two Sleepy People" that made people roll on the floor laughing.

Of course, back in those days, people laughed at different things than they do now, comedy (even risque' comedy) was far cleaner than it is nowadays. Recently, I bought a copy of Rusty Warren's "Knockers Up" comedy album from the early '60s. (She was a "busty" female commedienne.) What was once considered very "racy" now sounds more like something you'd hear on the Disney channel these days. :roll:
