    It’s true he doesn’t have lips… which is WHY it sounds like “PHWOOMP! OOMPH UMPTH! BLATT!” and “HONK!”

    C’mon people, the groupies are so stoned they’ll clap for anything. Even a tuba solo from a penguin.

    What I love are the enormously improved lyrics!

    This would be ‘improved’ in a sense I was not previously aware of – although they ARE funnier!

    “Danny Kaye sings for Children” was a very old record with a couple of song about Tubby the Tuba - one of which had him looking for “his” song and contained a lovely tuba solo in it. i used to play the opening bars of “La Marseillaise” as a demonstration of the tuba’s range when i played one during high school days. (it’s the French National Anthem for those who don’t know it.)

    Maybe the girls are going wild because he’s waist-high and has amazing mouth control.

    (Yes, my mind is in the gutter.)

    I prefer my tuba with a little mayo and green onion on wheat bread.

    Hey yyyguy -

    I listened to Tubby the Tuba when I was young. I had it on a 45 rpm record (if I recall correctly).

    A tuba player with no lips must have a very talented tongue.
