Every once in a while, the YT algorithm hits a home run with a suggestion. This is one of those times. The Odd Couple is still one of my favorite TV shows. I watch the video of Felix on Password at least once a month.
This a classic piece of schmaltz! Nerdy Felix Unger and Oscar Madison the slob singing like a drunk Jake LaMotta. "Clouds in your coffee?" "Saratoga rhymes with Nova Scotia?" Good Flash backs.
It's truly sad they didn't continue the Golden throats series and include this track. It's brilliant! So many great songs out there that would fit on to discs like that.
Why did it take so long for me to discover this other side of "TH-cam"? I have always been a fan of the"Golden Throats" 4 vol. set from Rhino. My most treasured discs of my collection! But this! All these actors who turned prodigal, leaving their thespian ways!!! Why? What possessed them to reason to that they could make their own contributions to the world of music? It baffles me, but I have laughed so much then. And now I will gaffaw to my heart's content! Thank you so much wayward actors!!!
I saw these guys in London in 1996 when The Odd Couple played at the Theatre Royal Haymarket . Klugman had suffered a bout with throat cancer, I believe, and had a very scratch voice but was still a trooper. This is a trip down memory lane. Wish they'd bring back this series in reruns. Love the song.
Never knew Carly Simon covered Your So Vain

"The Only Thing That Goes With Your Eye, Is A Black Eye!" Gotta love Jack Klugman!
Listen carefully at 2:03, you can hear Jack crack up a little.
how funny, the apricot makes me think of the time felix redecorated, and painted the walls "flaming peach"
Better than the previous color: "spanish mildew".
"Who are those girls?" This is pretty funny...
Both Tony and Jack never revealed who this song was about.............they took the secret to their graves!
sara-to-gah! and nova sco-sha! :-)
I live in Nova Scotia, I nearly had a seizure when I first heard this.
This is astoundingly awful... In a good way.

Other comedy duos always have a straight man. They are the only comedy duo that can play straight or silly to each other.

At last, the words to this song clearly enunciated!
it is better than the carly simon version
The only thing goes with Eyes is a "Black Eye"...LOL!!!!
LOL!!! Love it
Klugman sounds like a drunk Jesse Ventura. ☺
I loved the odd couple,,,,,, this is HORRIFIC, wow.
I love the girl group singing the middle section of the song, sweet!
hej igen Josefine Jesus Kristus är Kung ♔ därför att Gud har sagt så! HALLELUJAH Praise Jesus CHRIST IS King for ever
This is definitely a find! Funny in an endearing and nostalgic way.
Aboutcha Dontcha
the song was about Murray the cop
I had this single when i was around 10 year's old. Oh my god I haven't heard this in 40 year's!
Thank's so much for posting!!!!!!!!!!!

Man.... I hope this song isn't about ME...
Haha this really is a hilarious rendition of the song.
I love Jack Klugman & Tony Randall
Ranks up there with Felix singing Oscar and Messy Jessie when they were on vacation down in the islands that was hilarious
