I was reading an article about Jews and it just used "Jew-ie Jew-ie Jew-ie."

I don't know what Fred Shapiro has. If Douglas Wilson/Sam Clements beats me
on this, he's a dirty rat.

Peter Bogdanovich believes that the genesis of the imitation came from
Grant's delivery in several lines in Only Angels Have Wings.. 'In the film his
former girl friend is called Judith or Judy (played by Rita Hayworth). Cary has
lines like "Hello, Judy. Come on, Judy. Now, Judy." But he never said "Judy,
Judy, Judy." '

Judy Quine has another explanation: 'Cary told me back in 1955 that when he
did the Lux Radio Theater, they used his voice introduction for Judy Garland,
who was a guest for the following week. He recalled some banter where he could
have said "Judy, Judy, Judy," but he wasn't sure.'

Although Grant must have tired of being constantly asked to say the line, he
always obliged when women named Judy asked him to say 'Juday, Juday, Juday.'
And Rich Little admires Grant's sense of humor about it: 'Cary said [Little
imitating CG], "Where is this 'Juday, Juday, Juday' coming from? I don't know
anybody named Juday-Juday-Juday. The only Judy I knew was Judy Garland. And when
I saw her, there weren't three of 'em!" '

During the making of Charade Peter Stone used to joke with Grant about 'Judy,
Judy, Judy.' He recalls: "While we were shooting the taxi scene - right near
the end of the picture where Audrey's feet are up in his lap and he's
massaging them - Cary looked at the camera and said [Stone imitating CG] "Juday,
Juday, Juday. There. Now you've got it on film!'"

As late as the 1980's Grant was still answering questions about the phrase,
and during on of his Conversations he offered still another speculation on how
it came about. CG: We looked up track after track and outtake after outtake.
As far as we can tell, I never said it. We think it started with a celebrity
impersonator by the name of Larry Storch.  He apparently was appearing in a
nightclub and doing me when Judy Garland walked in. And that's how he greeted
her.

Comics who do impersonations of Grant--most do invariably grab their neckties
with both hands and dart about muttering, "Judy Judy Judy," even though Grant
never said "Judy Judy Judy" in a movie (the way Cagney never said, "You dirty
rat").
