Lawrence Welk Show: One Toke Over the Line
You may have already seen this on BoingBoing, but it’s so charming that I couldn’t resist posting it here. I present to you Gail Farrell and Dick Dale singing the Brewer and Shipley hit One Toke Over the Line on The Lawrence Welk Show.

Wow! Talk about a flashback. The one thing you could guarantee in the neighborhood I grew up in was that everyone was in front of the TV when Lawrence Welk was on. People planned their schedules around it! Thanks for the flashback.
Wow! We’re they banking on the audience not being hip to the lingo or we’re they not in on it themselves or we’re they giggling about it afterward or what?
Somebody ask them and let me know.

My guess is that Gail and Dale have no idea what the song is about.
