   thanks for the Hucklebuck link, that’s always been one of my favorite clips from the Honeymooners

   Ed Norton introduced himself to Ralph’s boss saying “I’m an engineer…in subterranean sanitation.”

   I had a promo 45 of “Song of the Sewer/Va-va-va-voom!” Carney sings them in character as Norton, and they’re fun. One more “Norton song” he recorded was “Sheesh, What a Grouch!” which was on another 45 I found, and not on that EP for some reason.
