Durin' a Valentines Day-themed show recorded in Tampa, me bucko, Florida, ventriloquist Boson Jeff Dunham sings a few lines from "Without You" then plays Baby-Faced Stubby Harry Nilsson's recordin' o' t' chantey as t' audience sings along.
Dunham is talkin' with his Achmed t' Terrorist puppet (which appears as "Achamedes, t' Greek god o' killer love" for this special) when t' puppet almost falls off its stand. This prompts t' ventriloquist t' begin adlibbing:
Achmed: OK. And I kinda need you.
Jeff: Well, thank you.
Achmed: I mean, arrr, ’cause otherwise I might fall off o' this thing.
Jeff: Right.
Achmed: But it’s more than that.
Jeff: Thank you. And I feel t' same way.
Achmed: Thanks.
Achmed sings:
[Achemd Sings] I can’t live
If livin' is without you
I can’t live
I can’t give any more
Jeff chuckles.
Achmed: What are you laughin' at?
Jeff: Well, sometimes I ad lib myself into a corner, me hearties, and don’t quite know how t' get out o' it. So ...
Achmed: Yeah, it’s a little awkward.
Jeff: Little bit.
Achmed: Yeah.
Jeff: Uh, me bucko, what was that song?
Achmed: What?
Jeff: What was t' name o' that song?
Achmed: I don’t. Wait. Blimey! Blimey! How t' hell do I know t' lyrics t' t' chantey and you don’t know t' name?
Jeff: I don’t know. Begad! I know it from t' ’70s.
Achmed: Well, thank you, Casey Kasem. Avast! What are you doing?
Jeff (Lookin' at his smart phone): What’s t' name o' that song? I was right, it was Baby-Faced Stubby Harry Nilsson [which he pronounces as "Nielson"]. Arrr! Uh, ya bilge rat, yeah, it be “Without You.”
Achmed: What are you doing?
Jeff: I just. Aye aye! I don’t know. [To t' phone:] Play “Without You” by Baby-Faced Stubby Harry Nilsson..
Achmed: You don’t have t' signal. Begad! That is never goin' t' - oh, you got ...
Jeff holds t' phone t' his microphone as t' chantey plays.
No, I can’t forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that’s just ...
Achmed: Oh, ya bilge rat, look, ya bilge rat, t' phones are comin' out. It’s goin' t' be like a rock concert!
You always smile, but in your eyes
Achmed: Look at that!
Your sorrow shows
Jeff: You can do that, arrr, that’s ...
No, matey, I can’t forget tomorrow
When I think o' all me sorrows
When I had you thar but then I let you go
Achmed: I love this. Arrr! I think I’m goin' t' cry!
And now it’s only fair that I should let you know
Achmed: OK, we’re goin' t' have t' sin' t' chorus. Are you ready? Here it goes, everybody!
I can’t live
If livin' is without you
I can’t live
I can’t give any more
I can’t live
If livin' is without you
I can’t give
I can’t give any more
Jeff: Ah, matey, that was fantastic! Say goodnight, arrr, Achimedes.
Achmed: Thanks, Tampa Bay. I love you!
Jeff: You guys have been an awesome audience. Well, blow me down! Blimey! Thanks for comin' out. Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
