Stan Freberg making fun of Lawrence Welk:

"Freberg's musical parodies were a byproduct of his collaborations with
Billy May and his Capitol Records producer Ken Nelson. With his 1957
spoof of TV "champagne music" master Lawrence Welk, "Wun'erful!
Wun'erful!", Freberg had a true parody partner with May, a veteran big
band musician and jazz arranger. To replicate Welk's syrupy sound, May
and some of Hollywood's finest studio musicians and vocalists worked to
clone Welk's musical mediocrity, right down to bad notes and timing
mistakes. Billy Liebert, a first-rate accordionist, copied Welk's
accordion playing. Welk denied he had ever said, "Wunnerful,
Wunnerful!", yet it became the title of Welk's autobiography (Prentice
Hall, 1971). In his parody record, the orchestra is overwhelmed by the
bubble machine and eventually floats out to sea."
