Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 09, 2023

The audience believes Zoe is gonna flop horribly.

Maybe she’ll pull a hamstring in the middle of the song.

Zoe could perform at halftime during the Super Bowl. Her parents could have the whole stadium to themselves!

Think there’s a YouTube video of “The Star-Spangled Banner” à la yodel out there?

Well, she gets the “Clear a Room” Trophy!

My brother’s talent IS flopping.

Would you believe a mass bathroom break?

I wish comics had sound, or I’m glad they don’t.

With special guest Hamish MacPherson and his Armpitmonica.

It is a difficult song to sing, but yodel?!

Someone get me some earplugs stat!

Very creative idea, no matter how well she does.

no one ‘took a knee’?

Howlllllll howllllll!!!

I want to hear Hammie burp it!!

Here’s an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysOsfwyffQE

Move over, Rosanne. You may soon be off the hook for worst performance of the National Anthem.

And as Wanda and Darryl hold their collect breaths and Wanda closes her eye in embarrassment and anticipation, Zoe struts out onto center stage. Will she freeze with stage fright, go hoarse, …? Tune in tomorrow, same place, same comic.

Don’t take it personal Zoe. Yodeling has that effect on people.

Oh say, can you see anyone other than Darryl and Wanda?

If she nails the high notes, or get within an octave (or two) all else will be forgiven.

Shows over, everyone has left. Even Elvis has left the building…..AGAIN!

Hey, hold on! You’ll only have to wait a few seconds to find out if she can hit that high-“see”…

(☉o☉)

good pick Zoe……..i love it

Had to look at it twice to see that everyone else left.

People will applaud with relief when she is done.

It’ll still be better than some of the versions I’ve heard at sporting events

Accompanying her will be her brother Hammie on the accordion.

I read in Harpo Marx’s memoirs about a vaudeville entertainerwho would inflate a rubber chicken and let the air out of it in such a way that it played recognizable tunes.

I woulda stayed, probably the most entertaining of the show. I have been to many school productions. Generally it was considered a good production if none of the kids up-chucked on stage. People were always very kind in their responses, especially if their kid was the next up. Kudos to the many undervalued music teachers who have provided school kids with one of their most positive experiences in school.

Well even if she yodels well, most people don’t appreciate a good yodel.

“RUN!”

You know the end result, just not all the messy details.

Yodel?…..

Will everyone rise and place their hands over their ears.

What songs would be appropriate to perform in a yodel style?

accompanied by her all-star kazoo and ocarina band…

Lesson in humility?

Let’s not mess with the National Anthem, M’kay?

She cleared the room!!!!

At my cousin’s graduation, a student from the college was singing the national anthem. She picked the highest possible voice to sing in. It was absolutely hilarious, and killing my eardrums at the same time. So there my sister and I were, standing there with our hands over our hearts, trying not to cringe or laugh. We didn’t dare look at each other, because seeing each other’s faces during that would have caused us to start howling with laughter. Looking back I have no idea how I kept a straight face.

Oh boy! This is gonna be so bad! Haha! XD
