Sorry, 32251, the original singer, Rolf Harris, is still the best! He performed it around '62. And, no, I am not Ausie. =Srefan=

George was such a great entertainer. Thanks for posting this!

The reason Americans are singing it is that the Americans singing it are far more famous and superior to the non Americans who sang it. This is just a routine in a famous old American TV show. It is an American thing....you wouldn't understand. Also as "mush" as I love......it is just not the same as Non Americans.

The guitar was made by Gibson. George used Gibsons in his career. I think this is a custom L-5 (like the one Mother Maybelle Carter played), but as hers was sunburst with a black pickguard, George's was a red one with a white pickguard.

Thank you! I have been trying to find this routine for years. I rolled on the floor when I first saw it way back when!

You know, if they're only going to play re-runs on TV, they could play these. Think what they could save and they'd make a fortune with the commercial time.

Anybody recognize the guitar?
