The hambone redux

[Wilson Gray]

On tonight's episode of The Simpsons, Lurline Lumpkin's father did the
hambone in accompaniment to his daughter's singing.

For the more mature among us: did any y'all know that Dee Clark, the
R&B singer who had a hit in 1961 with "Raindrops," was, as a child
under his real name of Delecta Clark, one of The Hambone Kids of 1952?

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
