Helen Kane sounds an awful lot like Mae Questel, the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.

"The ravishing of the maiden Ophelia"
We once had a lodger, and he was so old
That he was a Codger, or so I am told.
My grandfather Roger to Codger he sold
A rusty old saw and a sack of fool's gold.
When my sister Ophelia the Codger she saw
She pounced on the see-saw, for such was the law.
The law says a see-saw will save from the claw
Of a Codger a maiden who fears ma and pa.
For her bles-sed old ma knows a Codger will dodge
Her entreaties to save her from losing her bra
And its contents. "Ophelia," croaked Codger, come, draw
Near my nonsense. I feel ya, Come soak in my spa."
(ancient folk song collected by E. C. Grobb, Professor of Folklore, Indiana Univ., as sung by Homer Hooch, a rudabaga farmer in Skunksplatt Hollow, W, Va., Jan. 13, 1959. Used by permission.)
N.B. May I suggest singing to the melody of Erin-go-bragh.

The more I listen to WFMU (and I'm in New Orleans!) the more I WANT to listen. First MAC, now the Old Codger. Can there be more?? Hmm. New Jersey. Home of broadcasting and 78edness. What's not to like?

By the way, Adam, Helen Kane sounding like Mae Questral resulted in a lawsuit by Kane saying that Questral's voice of Betty Boop was a theft of her singing persona. She lost the suit and never achieved her prior level of success.
