Link to Pretty Redwing
Link to Dear Old Girl
Pretty Redwing popped up from time to time. One memorable time was when a company hired Fibber to sing Pretty Redwing with a quartet, because he had such a strong voice. He starts out with the initial "Oh . . .," but does not get to go any farther, because they cut it. He learns that they were recording a dog food commercial, and wanted him to play the part of the dog.
Dear Old Girl shows up in the episode where Doc Gamble has been selected to be in the Elks Club barbershop quartet instead of Fibber, so Fibber cons Doc into practicing the tune until he supposedly loses his voice. In reality, he did not want to go where the contest was, because there was a woman there who wanted to marry him.
