A nice nod to the late Ernie Kovacs by the Nairobi Trio.
The Nairobi Trio: another of Kovacs great gags!
Oh, c’mon. They were pretty great. They just had a limited vocabulary.
Spot on! Ernie Kovacs died way too soon.
Now the music they played is going on through my head.
The readership of this comic skews way older than I expected.
not necessarily old, just appreciate good humor
The “lyrics” to the song are nothing more than the names of the notes of the melody:
“Solfeggio” lyrics:
Mi sol laRe fa-re solDo me-do fa reSol sol (bongo roll…)
Mi sol laRe fa-re solDo me-do fa reSol sol do (wham!)
Do mi faSi re-se miLa do-la fa reSol sol (bongo roll…)
Do mi-do faSi re-se miLa do-la fa reSol sol do (wham!)
The Nairobi Trio were the greatest apes!
Nice tribute !
I prefer the theme song, Oriental Blues also by Robert Maxwell.
Can be seen on YouTube.

This comic is offensive to musicians!
