Video: 1964's Sugar Bear sounds strangely like Dean Martin, gets menaced by floating one-man jazz band.
while i can see why you would think Dean Martin in this cartoon, Sugar Bear actually uses a Bing Crosby voice. It hadnt occurred to me untill now that Dean uses a Bing style singing style (as I listen to the Bing - Dean duet on youtube).
ReplyDeleteI just put together the Sugar Bear/Dean Martin thing about a month ago. Another Dean Martin-sounding character is the singer of Schoolhouse Rock's "Rufus Xavier Sassparilla" song. Of course, he might actually sound more like an impression of someone doing an impression of Dean Martin.

ReplyDeleteThen again, it's technically not a weapon. "That's what I like about it. Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you one thing it's good at. It is awfully good at opening doors."
You want Dean Martin? Look no further than the Ant from the Ant & the Aardvark cartoons (with the Aardvark doing his best Jackie Mason.)
