The Barney Google celebration isn’t over yet, not by the long shot! We have millions and millions of versions of the classic song “Barney Google” to present here in honor of the new book collecting the classic comic strips. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration. It’s probably more like a dozen. But each one is a gem in its own right and deserves to be heard, darn it!

Today’s selection is no exception. It’s by the Mellomen, featuring the voice of Thurl Ravenscroft.

Thurl, as any astute cartoon lover should know, was the narrator and vocalist on Chuck Jones’ animated version of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” You’ll recognize his marvelous deep (deep!) bass from “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” on this barbershop quartet version of “Barney Google.”

But wait! There’s more! Thurl Ravenscroft was also the cartoon voice of Tony the Tiger, giving him a triple cartoon connection. Take that, Mel Blanc!
