    Speaking of Sideshow Bob, he seems to have been a direct descendant of the Soundman character, played by Elliott Lewis, on the Burns & Allen radio show, in 1940-1941.
    Same Ivy League education, same gorgeously rich upper-class voice, same grumbling about having to work in a menial job that's far beneath him. His catchphrase was, "Four years at Harvard, and all I do is THIS!", as he opens and closes the sound-effects door.

    'Henglishman' ? Two possible reasons, 1. he needed an extra letter for it to fit the music, 2. he's making a point about class. The lowest social orders often dropped the 'h' at the beginning of a word and sometimes tried to fit in with the more educated classes by putting the 'h' back on, exaggerating it, and even putting it on words beginning with a vowel.

    • @Obamalies100
      @Obamalies100 7 років тому

      I think reason 2 is more likely. I've heard that Cockneys add h's on to words where they don't belong. Reason 1 doesn't make much sense since both "Henglish" and "English" have the same number of syllables. Adding the h doesn't stretch out the word. He definitely WAS trying stretching out the word Italian. I'm from Italian extraction myself and it's greatly to my credit. : ) I've liked the song ever since I heard it in "Chariots of Fire". The rest of the movie is extremely boring though. The music was the best part.

    If anyone remembers the hand that rocks the cradle they sing this song at the very beginning. And then you can just about hear it in the background when Emma Michael and Peyton are playing a game and Clare is going up stairs
