Val: So...we kept Wally's plan to take you to Paris a secret by telling you he was taking you to Peoria...and now you're IN Peoria?? Val: Mom?! You GOTTA hear this!! Joan: Nothing about this is FUNNY, Val!
Just thought of an old 78 record I used to listen to. This version’s from the Smothers Brothers – I chose it because the words are clearer here than in other versions, though the melody is a bit off and there’s no video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdlDXjyQqUMIt’s “Oh How I Wish I Was in Peoria” – I like the sound of the banjo bunch better, but they may be blackface (non P. C.) and the words are’t as clear – there’s a selection on yourube.
