"The Ed Wynn Show"

The Lyrics

In June 2014, there was a case where a child impersonated vaudeville actor Ed Wynn at the “Germanfest” event in Topeka, KS, which caused some local citizens to stop attending the event. He hosted his titular variety show on CBS from September 1949 to June 1950. As Wynn himself would’ve said, “This year, the event’s gonna be different, y’know…”
One show, the jokes seemed in vain,
Someone whose voice seemed insane,
It’s “The Ed Wynn Show”, can’t you see?
“The Ed Wynn Show” on TV,

He hosted it ‘way back when,
May I not hear it again,
A stupid-@$$ show, not for me.
It’s “The Ed Wynn Show” on TV.

His show ran in the fall,
How old and gray the world was then,
I won’t hear him again,
Sometimes his show is in the news again...

Though I think it was irate,
“Germanfest” isn’t more great,
I quit watching it; that’s just me,
That’s “The Ed Wynn Show” on TV!
Editor’s note: I do not encourage anyone to watch the original program or to attend the “Germanfest” event in any way. This was just written to make a point.

Look, we get it — a TV show that aired 75 years ago is racist, xenophobic and Anti-Zionist because a kid impersonated it at a local event in Kansas ten years ago, but you fool no one when you say it pales in comparison to, say, your Gary McNamara story, which I am offended by on a daily basis. As an aside, not one word from you about the fake Trump trial, college protests, or the war in Israel. I guess they’re not as relevant as Gary McNamara, Sally Eilers or sugar-free cake. Attention whore much?

^^^^^Copy, paste, repeat, ad infinitum. Go ahead and prove that I’m unpopular here. I’ll wait. Give me some legit examples of the "Anti-Zionist rhetoric" from this 75 year old TV show or the toxic Germanfest in Topeka. Darrrr. Did I mention I’m offended by your Gary McNamara story 24/7? I lived in Dallas for 20 years so I’m pretty clued in on Gary. I still have no idea how he beat anybody out for a job at WBAP. At least with him we could just turn the dial. As for your deigning to even respond to me, who’s makin’ ya? Stop any time, if you can. I effing dare ya.

“…The person who wrote this parody is AN GENIUS!!!!!” Filled out the rest of your cut-off comment for ya. This ain’t the Sopranos, you know, we don’t tolerate cutting off comments mid-sentence. I never said the 1949-50 TV show was racist, it just influenced an event at a fair in Kansas that is anti-Zionist. In case you misunderstood, calling Gary McNamara’s “Yee-Haw” the greatest moment in education history is sarcasm, something you’re obviously unfamiliar with. Not like the current college protests that are going on are much different. Why should I write about something I obviously don’t have the brain capacity to understand? Lastly, if you don’t see Sally Eilers as more relevant for a topic than the Trump trial or the war in Israel, then you haven’t seen her in a swimsuit. What’s it like to know you’re too stupid to take three minutes out of your day to listen to the OS or look up the subject matter?

Gotta admit, I don’t get the connection between this TV show, a one-time impersonator from a decade ago and you swearing this will be nothing short of Kristallnacht in Kansas. That would require the diminished brain capacity of someone who’d write a moronic sentence like “The person who wrote this parody is AN GENIUS!!!!!” Have ya found anyplace where I’ve said I’m offended by your G.M. obsession? Don’t waste your time searching. You’ll find nothing of the sort. As for Sally Eilers, does she even deserve an asterisk in a Google search? Quite possibly even more obscure than almost any of your other dead and forgotten idols. If you’re into current politics, tie that into one of your stupid songs. Lastly, only a true attention whore copies, pastes and compiles commentary for his own entries. Sharpen your crayon and try again.

Well, as long as there’s nothing going on, I’d just like to say that the 1934 Chevrolet with its knee-action wheels, is more economical on gas and oil than ever before! I’m going to go against your commentary so discreetly, you'll look like the new no-draft ventilation. Gary McNamara saying “Yee-Haw” on his last day of high school was a mistake. But it is not a mistake to buy the 1934 Chevrolet, the most dependable car in the low-priced field! A connection between this TV show, a one-time impersonator from a decade ago and a user swearing this will be nothing short of Kristallnacht in Kansas got a whole state fooled. And you are not fooled when you buy the 1934 Chevrolet! Do you know that Gary McNamara got into a car accident right after saying “Yee-Haw” while driving 80 MPH? Well, everyone knows that’s easy for the new 1934 Chevrolet! College protesters are kidding when they say they’re only here to get a glance of the Sorority Shebas, but I'm not kidding when I say the 1934 Chevrolet gives more miles to the gallon than ever before! And word comes to us from everywhere that orders for the new 1934 Chevrolet are literally pouring into the factory! These heroes like Gary McNamara, George Briant, Sally Eilers and others come to you through the courtesy of Chevrolet! The most dependable car in the low-priced field!

As a said before, Phil Ossifer, you can’t handle the truth. The fact that you won’t admit you’re offended over the Gary McNamara story is more evidence that you’re a moron. I wouldn’t doubt there are smarter philosophers out there. And if you don’t like Sally Eilers, then jerk off to whatever else you were enjoying before your posted your false statement. Probably looked at 11 or 12 year olds on a dark web browser. Hope the FBI knocks on your door.

And I have no idea what a “Kristallnacht” means. Pro tip; when talking to someone like me, use words that they’re likely to understand, much less bother to look up on some stupid web browser. Hope you’re enjoying your kiddie p**n.

Wow, I never expected you to accuse me of child trafficking, but hey, you do you. Kristallnacht means “Offending the entire state of Kansas by practicing anti-Zionism”. Your stupid-@$$ Gary McNamara High School Cowboy Hero fixation makes no sense whatsoever. I just think it’s a racist, xenophobic story that occurred in the ‘70s and is prejudiced against high school stereotypes. When has another high schooler acted like a cowboy on his last day of school? Looks like Gary McNamara pooped your pants. As one of your stupid little songs would say, “You’re In My Power, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” Educate yourself, you fool.

Keep acting offended over the Gary McNamara story twenty-four hours a day. It can only get sadder and your one-person audience’s respect for you will shrink exponentially.

Let's see... in just the last couple of days you've tried to peg me as black (using surprisingly racist terms), a pedophile, xenophobic (ironic, coming from someone freaking out about Germans for no good reason), a philosopher (I did study some, but could never make it a profession) as well as being personally offended by your G.M. posts (^^^^^ I am curious why you're calling the story racist and xenophobic. Princess Bride reference: from your attempt to describe racism the other day, I do not think that means what you think it means. BTW which one of "my songs" says that? I don't recognize the lyrics and I guarantee you have no idea what I listen to. Suffice it to say you're wrong on all counts, and possibly regressing from slow learner to no learner. Lastly, I'll take my education over yours any day of the year.

Try something novel: post your insipid entries under your own name, Uncle Ben. I have no doubt you’ll remain offended by this Gary joke as long as you live. “You’re In My Power etc.” was a 1934 song by George Olsen sung by Bob Rice and Ethel “Shu-TAY”. Its title is perfect for someone like you, who claims to have beaten me with his racist comments daily. Also, please don’t watch “The Ed Wynn Show”. Its connection to Germanfest is every bit as logical as you to your lack of brain cells. Darrrrr.

Awwww, looks like that hot cheerleader Sally Morgan don’t wanna be with me no more ’cuz I care more ‘bout my cowboy hat rather than her. I don’t care. I’ll always have my Yee-Haw line, my cowboy hat and my skin-tight Wranglers to keep me company, not to mention the life-long pride of actin’ like a hootenanny hoedown cowboy from Texas, even though I live in New York. My entire legacy is going to boil down to two syllables that I said in a high school hallway 50 years ago while my friends were breaking down into tears, and I am beyond proud of that legacy. I guess you know what my ending tagline was going to be.

Gotta admit, I don’t get the connection between this TV show, a one-time impersonator from a decade ago and you swearing this will be nothing short of Kristallnacht in Kansas. I guess the OS was too short to cover those issues. OTOH, we agree on what Gary QuackNamara’s legacy is going to be: A hero to the entire world and the second coming of Jesus Christ simply because he uttered two syllables during his last week of high school, and he hasn’t admitted that he actually said it — he only implied that he felt like that. Enjoy spending the rest of your life in complete devotion to this stupid singular moment.
