Oh yus engledick humperbert
and I always thought his real name was Gerry Dorsey but no Walter is correct for once


"Arnold George Dorsey gave the world's finest impersonation of Jerry Lewis - even Jerry
Lewis still thinks so - and was quickly dubbed Gerry Dorsey by his fans.
It became his professional stage name.

Gerry's manager suggested the new name Engelbert Humperdinck. It was just outrageous enough to be memorable. It would take a man with a secure self-image and sense of humor to pull it off.

And it was Humperdinck, not Elvis, who made famous the sideburns and flamboyant leather jumpsuits
So there you go
