	8:15pm yippie: Thurl Ravenscroft also sings hi-diddle-diddle with the other mellowmen
	👻 8:15pm Handy Haversack: I had a childhood (I'm reasonably certain), and there were Frosted Flakes and a Grinch in it, but my strongest Thurlsociations are definitely with Honky Tonk Radio Girl.

In this frantic atmosphere, Jones and his team managed to completely forget to put Thurl in the credits.

	8:40pm Bucci: ↳ Bucci @8:39 You could go spelunking in that note!
	8:40pm Chris Hiatt: Happy 110th, Thurl. Gone too soon...

	8:51pm Bucci: ↳ Song: "I Changed My Mind Jack" by "Jo Ann Campbell" what a song 😍
