King George was 1948 years old?

Wouldn’t want to pay for the candles on his birthday cake.

Where does it say King George was 1948 years old? The year is simply in brackets and that is certainly common to do when referencing the year or date of video or other item. I wonder if Julie got bullied by jealous kids or their parents for being able to sing in the King’s presence (kind of like what happened to Wayne Gretzky at that age because of his hockey skills)?

Beautiful memory of our former civilization. I love her spirit— the way she runs out to the mic, and the enthusiasm in her applause. Wonderful, wonderful stuff not seen anymore...

How could a whole chorus so botch the words to “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”?

Oh

So King George wasn’t 1948 years old.

Thank goodness.

Think about how big a birthday cake he’d need for 1948 candles.

Julie Andrews was a hockey player?

My, she is multi-talented.

I knew she was a wrestler, but hockey.

Wow.

Dough, for bread, for yummy bread.
Ray, my cousin in Washington.
Me, the person with Bobby McGee.
Fa, la la la la la la la la.
So, what?
La, a city on the west coast somewhere with lots of hobos.
Ti, to put your golf ball on.
And that brings us back to dough! And yummy bread.

I find it hard to believe that anyone ever bullied Wayne Gretzky.

He would have just hit them with his hockey bat thing.

I can't imagine the devastation you endured from "Mrs. Doubtfire".

Danny Kaye is standing behind her . Was it a performance of some kind.

Cool thanks for posting. Saw Danny Kaye at the end in the conga line leaving the stage. He’s one of my favorites.

“Wouldn’t want to pay for the candles on his birthday cake.”

Like to sell them though. I could jack up the price because it is royalty and retire way early. Gotta act while the irons (candles) are hot.

I am sad for her as she can no longer sing, and I have seen her in an interview or two where she seemed quite devastated by it.
