The fourth 'R': rolling on the floor in laughter!

You're gonna CRACK UP LAUGHING when you see this!

I just love finding old TV bits on YouPube. They pib in a big way like so many other things we know and love.

And I've found another unintentionally hilarious bit that was connected with someone from 'The Lawrence Welk Show'. It seems to be a music video made by Larry Hooper for his 1958 song "The Fourth R" - a parody of the gospel song "Old-Time Religion":

If you're not laughing your way off the edge of your seat from that, your funny bone must be busted!

Damn, that video is hilarious!

"The Fourth R" is one of very few songs or music videos that seems to advocate teaching religion in public schools. In the video, Larry Hooper demonstrates his lack of familiarity with separation of church and state by disrupting a classroom by lecturing the teacher about "the fourth 'R'." Then the whole class bursts into song.

It's unknown whether this song ever charted. That ridiculous "Battle Hymn Of Lt. Calley" made it into the top 40, so anything is possible.
