More Thurl Ravenscroft novelty tunes
Here's another great novelty track from Thurl Ravenscroft, the lead baritone in the Haunted Mansion's themesong, and the voice of Tony the Tiger: it's Thurl and Roberta Lee performing a medley of "Wing Ding Ding" and "You Wanna Talk About Texas." Link (scroll to page-bottom) (Thanks, LondonFilter!)
Update: Duane sez: "I can't believe you have two items about this guy and at no point do you mention that he sang 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch' for which his voice is perhaps the most famous of all! There's even a story that goes along with that, as he received no credit in the final production, and when Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) called him and said 'What did you think?' he said 'Well, Ted, I apparently wasn't in it!'"
