The Song of the Nairobi Trio (looping excerpt)

The Music is a much degraded sample from

The Ernie Kovacs Record Collection which

comprises music Ernie used on his pioneering

television programs in the late '50's and early

'60's. In addition to some of the first use of

"blue screen" special effects and other TV FX

Ernie essentially invented the music video by

pairing live action with recorded music, usually

to comic effect. Ernie himself appeared in the

"Nairobi Trio" and some claim that his beautiful

wife Edie Adams was at least sometimes the

gorilla-masked percussionist who used Ernie's

hat as a kettle drum.
