★★★ · Henny's "South American relations" · RoboReview · 2007-09-10
As a fan of classic comedy, I found this clip fascinating. It's the earliest Henny Youngman stuff I've ever seen, from before his "take my wife please" canned shtick days. A patter song like this would have been associated with, say, Groucho Marx in the 30s. In any case, Henny's timing and sense of physical comedy are impressive here.
