When we started house-hunting earlier this year we went with a local realtor agency called Howard Hanna -- a name that sounds way too much like the Skip Rooney character Hula Hanna from the Uncle Floyd Show. So of course, no one was able to mention the name of the realtor without causing me to reflexively start singing the Hula Hanna song:

"Hula Hanna hoo-la hoo-he hoooo..."

It got to the point where even Alane was saying Hula Hanna when she meant Howard Hanna, which I thought was really funny (especially when she did it in their offices).

The video clip is so painful -- representative of all their shows. Floyd did a "Don Ho-Hum" routine at the Knights of Columbus show we went to last year; his schtick has improved since his UHF days (some might say that wouldn't be tough).

"Put that on a bus to Kearny!"

(And speaking of reflexive singing, Cookie has lately been singing the old Michael Sembello tune of the roaring 80s "She's a Maniac"; it's just that Cookie doesn't know the real words... he only knows what he's heard... and that's just a prescription for trouble.)
