[78-L] Accent you hate [FWD]

[David Lennick]

Well oil beef hooked.

One bad pseudo English accent that drives me up the freaking wall is Nelson 
Eddy's, on his Gilbert & Sullivan albums and on "Boots".

Surpassed only by Danny Kaye (also doing insulting versions of G&S).

And Rudy Vallee is pretty bad as well.
