Green Acres1965
Sir Geoffrey:
[Conducting the Hooterville Symphony Orchestra] Now please, let's try it: Brahm's Lullaby. [the band plays a crawling version of "There's a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"] Stop, stop! Hold it, hold it! May I ask what you were playing?
Eustace Charleton Haney:
Well, what was you conductin'?
Sir Geoffrey:
Brahm's Lullaby.
Eustace Charleton Haney:
Then that's what we was playin.'
Sir Geoffrey:
That was not Brahm's Lullaby.
Oliver Douglas:
[to Sir Geoffrey] Well it's as close as you're gonna get to it.
Sir Geoffrey:
Look is there anyone here who can read music?
Ralph Monroe:
Oh, I can.
Sir Geoffrey:
Oh, well then my dear, would you mind humming it for the others?
Ralph Monroe:
[to the tune of Brahms' Lullaby] La-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah-dah, da-da-dah, la-da-dah, dah...
Sir Geoffrey:
Fine. Now, let's all hum it together.
Band members:
[to the tune of Brahms' Lullaby] La-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah-dah, da-da-dah...
Sir Geoffrey:
Capital, capital, capital! Now, let's all play that.
[the band plays "There's a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" as Sir Geoffrey breaks down and cries]
