[@angelswings1219]

A friend's dad had dementia and I actually spent a lot of time talking to him. He remembered sogns that made him happy and there was always a smile on his face when enjoying it. It seems music, especially love for tunes and lyrics that make you happy is stored within the soul of their heart and is unaffected by dementia. There is an Oliver Sachs film "Alive Inside" about that very thing.

[@PapagenoMF]

Pedia and Lydia do rhyme, if you pronounce the "e" in pedia the same as the "y" in Lydia. You can't make stevia rhyme, no matter what you do, because the consonants do not match.

[@mollyoxy]

Mo *lih dee ah* encyclo *pih dee ah* *stih vee ah* You can make stevia rhyme by changing the ee sound to ih. Just like pee to pih in pedia.

[@PapagenoMF]

We have different definitions of what a rhyme is. You're suggesting a general rhyme is fine. I am an English teacher and a purist. To me, a perfect rhyme is the correct form. With a perfect rhyme, the last syllable has to be identical. Since there is no "d" in stevia, it is not a perfect rhyme, and therefore not acceptable to those of us who teach rhyme as a profession.

“In the 1950s Groucho was invited to take a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. While in the observation booth, he grabbed the public address system handset and began singing “Lydia the Tattooed Lady”. Upon hearing silence coming from the trading floor, he walked into view, was given a loud cheer by the traders, and shouted, ‘Gentlemen, in 1929 I lost eight hundred thousand dollars on this floor, and I intend to get my money’s worth!’ For fifteen minutes, he sang, danced, told jokes, and all this time, the Wall Street stock ticker was running blank

@ David Lehman. All of Harburg's lyrics in "Lydia The Tattoo Lady" are absolutely brilliant! I was surprised many years ago to read that that song was actually written a year or two or three before the Marx Brothers' film, "At The Circus" was released into movie theaters. So to my surprise, that song was not written for the Marx Brothers.

I've always loved the Marx Brothers! Grew up watching them! BTW, in the wonderful 1991 movie The Fisher King, starring Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Mercedes Ruehl, and Amanda Plummer, there is a scene that is an homage to Lydia. Robin is besotted with Amanda Plummer's character, Lydia, and he sings this song to her when they are all at dinner in a Chinese restaurant. I highly recommend this movie, as well as Marx Brothers movies!

Nah IMO all the funniest moments were put in by members of the cast and crew. For example when Jesse is suggesting ways to get out of the desert when the RV won’t start. And he lists off a bunch of things including a “robot” and a battery. Mr White jumps to action tells him to collect stuff and Jesse is like “so what are we building?”... WW says “you said it yourself”. And Jesse looks at him, bewildered, and says “A ROBOT?” That was actually written by one of the camera crew and it’s perfect

Same. I have always loved him singing that song in the movie, which is also one of my favorites.

[@vselenautika]

That was a great scene.

[@gabriellemueske4626]

I love this song and the MARX BROS!

[@nikkigallagher163]

And I knew there was a reason I named my bong Lydia 😂

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

I'm thinking that Todd had a ringtone song for everybody on his phone. For Walter White he had "Blinded Me With Science" because Walter taught him chemistry.

I love you, Groucho Marx.

[@michaelgreen5206]

Love the whole comedic family c/o Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo & Gummo, too!

My name is Lydia and an old man at my church used to sing this to me when I was like 4..

[@Umustbekidn]

Groucho is the king of comedy...

[@categriesedieck2410]

Never fails to make me roar! Jim Henson (of Muppet fame) requested this song be played at his funeral. Written by the same guys who wrote all the music for "The Wizard of Oz".

[@vincentanuneko4269]

I heard jim Henson performed this as Kermit on the muppet show before I heard this one.

I can't tell you how many times I come back to hear this song! No one could do a sing like this except for Groucho!!

[@marchapril5783]

I love how the comment section if full of Lydia's who either regard the song fondly or found it to to be the bane of their existence.

[@fabianvassallo1096]

I love Groucho Marx. He would be so disappointed if he was alive today to see a world that has become such a terrible place to live in unlike the good ól days of the Golden Years.

[@jimmypeters]

The lyricist for Lydia..., Yip Harburg, also wrote the lyrics for 1932's Brother, Can You Spare a Dime, which became the anthem of The Great Depression; we are all much better off today.

i mean back then black people were segregated and women weren’t exactly treated the best. His world wasn’t so great

[@vesalore696]

Fascists saying that the old days were greater than our current times very typical
