Anna Russell is a hoot. Really like her stuff.

Heh...I've seen Victor Borge's spoof, too. There was also one show where he had a soprano guest star on to sing a Verdi aria. He was just PAINFULLY rude to her - a joke, of course, but making fun of sopranos. It was hilarious.

And he called Guiseppe Verdi "Joe Green". Which I believe is about right...but man, it cracked us up.

I wonder if there are many Borge skits available on DVD these days? It'd be fun to have some o' those. Can watch 'em over and over.

I like the one where he composes a piece by cutting up different sheet music and pasting it back together.

That's funny...! I wonder if he came up with that before or after "Mean" Joe Green played for the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Heh, I remember that one. He would stop playing every time she touched his piano.

Amazon has a bunch of his stuff on DVD
