Ralph Cramden was a TV character in the 1950s series "The Honeymooners" played by Jackie Gleason. He was always threatening to knock his wife, Alyce, through the ceiling with a sweeping right hook. When making the upward swing, he'd shout, "To the moon!" The moon was presumably where he expected his wife's head to land after he'd socked her a good one. According to the laugh tracks, this apparently was an extraordinary bit of humor back in the 1950s. Jackie Gleason kind of looked liked a more youthful Mussolini when doing so. His jaw would be set, and his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head. Alyce always looked totally indifferent to his threats.

Certainly.
Lawrence Welk was a big band leader who, despite the fact big band music went out of favor in the 1940s, had a television program that was on every Saturday night and which aired well into the 1970s. For those of us who had parents or grandparents who loved big band music, the Lawrence Welk Show was a must see. For those of us cutting our teeth on the Beatles, it was the absolute longest hour of the week -- even longer than the hour in church. Every moment was an eternity.
Lawrence Welk had a big band, but I'm not sure his music would qualify as big band music. It was very tame stuff.
After some beauty or some beau would sing some really lame song, the audience, which always consisted of a bunch of white-haired folks who looked like they could topple over at any moment, would applaud politely, and Lawrence Welk would comment, "Wunnerfull, wunnerfull, wunnderfull!" Even Lawrence Welk looked like he was about to fall asleep as he mumbled these words of approval.

Arctic Blast, I'm surprised you haven't been the subject of a video sooner. Your moniker is a reference to your fun-loving nature in the far north, isn't it?
Okay, here's my contribution to the Arctic Blast selection:

LOL. Boy, do I remember him. I had a great aunt from Wisconsin who came to visit my family in California. I was about 10 and she was about 180. She loved Lawrence Welk and wanted all of us to watch it with her. Talk about child abuse! [;)]

cw58 -- Having to stay in the room, to sit quietly (so everyone could hear), and to watch the show was part the routine. It didn't matter if it was the parent or the grandparent, you simply had to sit there with them while they enjoyed the show. Neither my siblings nor I ever found a howl or scream of defiance that worked, and indirect methods, such as a feigned need to go to the bathroom, did not work either. The Lennon (or Lemon?) Sisters were always supposedly a real treat.
I guess Lawrence Welk was the Beatles or the Jimi Hendrix of our parents and grandparents.
