A Married Couple Argue to Beethoven's 5th [Favourites of The Gillos]

in #music9 years ago

Sid Caesar and Nanette Fabray star in this classic sketch.

What a clever concept. These early days of TV featured some amazing talents and tragically so much of it has been either lost or ignored. I have older parents so luckily I was exposed to all sorts of media going back to the 40s.

Comparing this to the only modern live show, Saturday Night Live, I think this idea and their performances more than stand the test of time!

Join me, The Gillos, as I go through my list of YouTube favourites spanning 8 years of content curation. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this. It was so cute. It made me think of a friend of mine who was married to a deaf/mute woman. They communicated by sign language. I asked him if they ever argued. He said rarely, because it was always a one-sided conversation. He would watch her as she signed, but when he would begin to sign, she turned her back to him. lol. I can just picture it.

Well, that's one way to win a fight, haha!

Yes sir. I like to tell that story. I think men really like it, because they think it is so typical of women. lol
