[78-L] Celebrating the Oscars

[DanKj]

Oscar Shaw:  the "oldest Juvenile on Broadway" - watching him sing WHEN MY DREAMS COME TRUE is sorta interesting, to see his 
expressions, gestures, and the way he made a teeth-bared smile out of each big inhale between lines. (Unlike Caruso, who 
often sounded like an asthmatic seal gasping for breath.Maybe it couldn't be heard on Victrolas.)

Oscar The Grouch (big hit song - I LOVE TRASH)

Oscar Meyer (small hit song - YOU WERE STARVING WHEN I MET YOU, BUT NOW YOU'RE FULL OF BALONEY,  and the wurst dirty song of 
the 20th Century: MY BALONEY HAS A FIRST NAME )
