🎵 Hel-lo, it's me! 😀
Great job! My brain's been on "stall" so I cheated and looked up some classical composers. Here's one that gave me a chuckle: Pietro Gnocchi. Actually from the Baroque period, he was a real Renaissance man- mufti-talented. Funny part: his name translates into "Peter Dumpling"! Just like Alfredo Coccozza, aka Mario Lanza, "Al Squash"! Talk about losing something in the translation!
Gnocchi, the food! The lines come from rolling little pillows of dough over an inverted fork...
I have no idea what Ezio Pinza would be in English. Some enchanted evening I may figure it out... Maybe it's not for me to say!
God bless you!
Sam Schwartz, from the Bronx, looked EXACTLY like Ezio Pinza.
Everywhere he went, people would point at him and yell, “EZIO PINZA!!!!” to which he would reply, with equal fervor, “SAM SCHWARTZ, FROM THE BRONX!!!!”
One day, Sam had to take a business trip. He hailed a cab to Laguardia, and as he stepped off the curb, the cab driver pointed at him excitedly and yelled, “EZIO PINZA!!!!” To which Sam answered:
“SAM SCHWARTZ, FROM THE BRONX!!!!”
He gets to the airport. The Check-in attendant takes one look at him and yells:
“EZIO PINZA!!!!” To which Sam answered:
“SAM SCHWARTZ, FROM THE BRONX!!!!”
He gets on the plane. The stewardess takes one look at him, points at him excitedly, and says:
“EZIO PINZA!!!!” To which Sam answered:
“SAM SCHWARTZ, FROM THE BRONX!!!!”
Finally he gets to his destination. Somehow he gets the key to the wrong hotel room, and when he goes into the room he is confronted by a ravishing blonde in a filmy negligee.
She takes one look at him and exclaims:
“EZIO PINZA!!!!” To which Sam answered:
“SAMMMM en CHANTED EVENING......!!!!”
