Solfege-Solfeggio was the name of a song used in a comedy sketch featuring The Nairobi Trio on Ernie Kovacs’s television show. The lyrics of the song featured the solfège tones and was played while three cast members dressed in trench coats, gorilla masks and bowler hats engaged in silly situations on-screen. Among Kovacs’ celebrity friends both Jack Lemmon and Frank Sinatra are known to have performed in the skit. Seated at screen right at a piano was a female simian (often Kovacs’ wife, Edie Adams), robotically thumping the keys. “Solfeggio” was written by Robert Maxwell and sung by the Ray Charles Singers.

Yes, the Nairobi Trio was good for a giggle. There was so much good comedy back in those days of early TV - and they didn’t need obscenities;-)

My son and I are reading “The lightning Thief,” so I think this is great. I’ll have to explain Streisand and Stamos though, my son is a little young to know the names.
