So...after a quick search I have not discovered that Bobby H has his own thread, therefore....here ya go, chum.
Sometimes Amber and I prowl the YouTube at night...
And sometimes we find really upsetting video clips which simply must be shared. We regard this as our civic duty. A public service, if you will.
So without further ado, I give you Robert Helpmann shaking his bon-bon to the get-stuck-in-your-head-esque tune "Surfer Doll".
I especially enjoy his interpretive shimmies to clue us in to the fact that he's surfing.
Also how he points to his watch to indicate time, holds up two fingers for "two" or "both", etc. They need to have him guest star on Sesame St.
..............Actually, no. They don't.

Why did it take this long for Bobby to get his own thread? For shame, us!
I thought you chickened-out and were not going to post this until I belted you over the head with the proverbial sledge-hammer. Tsk, self. I should have known better. Your thread was so lonely by itself for over 4 hours! While you, no doubt, received odd stares by the rest of this good congregation... Yes, congregation, because we are all Katholics. That STANK, I apologize.
And chumbles, I've missed the expression "shake yo' bon-bon"! We should probably intergrate that phrase into our daily conversation.
Anyway, back to Bobby and his webbed-feet. He was the original design prototype for Frogger, don'tchaknow.
Also, what exactly is he doing on that imaginary surfboard? He's simulating the acts of so many activities one does out of the water: Fanning the fires; Swinging a baseball bat; Working-out on an elliptical (?); Peppering a salad; I don't even KNOW what you would call that move he did with his foot; Flying an imaginary plane....on his imaginary surfboard.
Basically, 20 seconds in the water and Bobby would have drowned.
Also, THIS. WAS. SO. UPSETTING. I've never craved an arsenic pie before, but that takes the cake. See what I did there? Bakery cliches!
And here concludes Katie and Amber's/MP and PO's/Bunny and Peg's Thoughts On Robert Helpmann's Interpretive Dance About His Longing To Meet A Surfer Doll....To Do What Again?
You may go ahead and start the fanclub anyday now.

I sort of feel like the only way this would be acceptable is if he did it on a major dare. Or like, lost some sort of bet.
Folks, this lovely soundbite is now the ringtone whene'er Amber calls my cell phone. EPIC.
Also, he looks rather more like he is attempting to water-ski than surf. Someone forgot to tell him that there are no handlebars when you surf. Bushy bushy blonde hairdo---he can't wait for June!

HAHAHAHAHA YAY FOR GREAT AMOUNTS OF BRILLIANCE LATE AT NIGHT.
I'm sort of like brother Dick. I write awesomeness that isn't appreciated because the right audience doesn't exist.

HAHAHAHA. THE BEST LYRICS ARE WRITTEN IN THE ANTI MERIDIEMS!
I apprIciate it, my darling! Although, I suspect I don't count. But I'm sure the great people on this board appreciate it, too! And if you're brother Dick, where is your white pimp hat? Please don't compare yourself to Dick ever again. Not even in analogy.
You're actually Hilly. <3

.........with the coolie-flap. Musn't forget the coolie-flap.
This is truth! You, who plays agricultural video games. All the excitement of watching your fresh corn crop grow! But digitized! COUNT ME IN, CHUM. Can we play this when I come visit?

He did, I think, record more than one pop tune....I can't believe you found this. I mean the coincidence of it. I found it a week or so ago and have been so busy I haven't had time to post the link. I think it's hysterical.
