So today, here’s another edition of Forgotten Hits where Kent gives us Historic National Hit Music Surveys, his Concert Reviews, his Movie Reviews, Backgrounds on Artists, Song Videos, Music Books he says we all should have, Fun Facts about mid-1960s Music, Additional Related 1960s Paraphernalia, yada yada yada.

 

Appropriately enough, tomorrow, Saturday, July 23rd, is Officially International “Yada Yada Yada Day '' inspired by the Paley Center for Media who, in 2009, named those three words as the the Number One funniest phrase in a TV Series.

 

Six years later in 2015, a fan of the show, “Seinfeld,” which brought the phrase into our everyday lives, decided to declare July 23 as “International Yada Yada Yada Day.” 

 

In “Seinfeld,” the phrase was used to quickly wrap up a story one was telling.

 

It was first heard in the 153rd episode of the Seinfeld sitcom, the 19th episode of the eighth season, which aired on April 24th, 1997, to become one of the most famous phrases of the series.

 

However, it was already a common phrase before the episode aired having been spoken more notably by comedian Lenny Bruce among others, and may have actually originated in 1940s vaudeville or even earlier, but it was “Seinfeld” director Andy Ackerman who was struck by the fact that the phrase hadn't ever been the subject of a sitcom episode before, even though it seemed to be such a universal everyday kind of expression ... yada yada yada!

 

And that about sums it up as succinctly as I can!

 

So, in the Spirit of this Uniquely Singular and Famous Phrase defined as putting an end to a story, here’s my “CB Yada Yada Yada Minute Medley” featuring some of the voices of the Seinfeld Show along with other famous Forgotten Hits voices and their Repetitive Word Phrases!
