Ed Sullivan was a Broadway and gossip newspaper columnist for the N.Y. Daily
News, and hosted the longest running variety TV show in TV history.
That show ran on Sunday nights for more then 20 years (late 40's to late
60's I believe), and was responsible for introducing the Beatles to U.S.
audiences, and giving Elvis Presley his first national exposure.

Anyway, he had some peculiar pronunciations, among them, at the beginning of
every show, he'd say:
"We've got a great shoe for you tonight folks."

My parents bought our first TV set, just so they could watch his show.

Thanks for the info Rick. I was aware of Ed Sullivan and his show, just not
his phrases seeing as I have never seen the show (can't believe I have
missed anything).

I think it is claiming rather a lot to '... responsible for introducing the
Beatles to U.S. audiences ...', they were already well-known (otherwise they
wouldn't have been there), he was just the biggest populist to jump on the
band-wagon.

"Introducing", as in the context of introducing a well known speaker to a
gathering.

The Beatles' *first* U.S. appearance was on his show.

And yes, those boys from Liverpool *didn't* need his support to bolster
their popularity.
They did very well on their own!<g>

This brings me to the question of why you folks lose your accent when you
sing?<vbg>

That's odd, I was going to ask you the same thing. We don't have an accent!

Peter Noone didn't lose his accent.

No, he put it on. Peter Noone was from Manchester, and he was (badly)
mimicking a Cockney accent. If (God forbid) you want to hear a real Cockney
sing it, then listen to Joe Brown and the Bruvvers. But it's only for the
tourists, we don't really speak like that, most Brits are far more obscure,
I can't understand them .

Speaking of stereotypes, time to oil your collection of rifles, jump into
your 8mpg RV, deny global warming, and rush down to the Heart Attack Grill,
they have got quadruple bypass burgers now.

Without my stereotypes, life gets a lot more complex (and makes my head hurt!).

It probably only works verbally but it reminds me of the little cockney
fellow who was sent to the front line in the First World War.

The Captain said to him, "Well my man, have you come here to die?" - for it
was a terrible time of death and destruction was the First World War.

"Well my man," said the Captain, "have you come here to die?"

And the little cockney answered, "No! I came here yester-die!"

I hope that it survives translation.
