The tradition continues.  I play this every year, and for two reasons.  One, I like it, the song is a hoot.  And the other is that it was my dad's favorite Father's Day song for me to sing to him.  Whenever I'd call on Father's Day, I eventually started stretching out our conversation to see how long I could get it before he'd interrupt and say simply, "The Song!!"  I usually didn't get very far.  A couple minutes at most.


This is Groucho Marx on the Dick Cavett Show​, singing the wonderfully loopy song, "Father's Day," written by Harry Ruby, perhaps best-known for "Lydia, the Tattooed Lady."
