He was on radio, and I think some TV or movies, back in the 1940's. Thanks for helping!
I have been seeking this since 1982, as my friend Bart S. always said Yowsah, yowsah!, and we couldn't remember who said it. I asked friends, parents, relatives, even watched some Kay K. movies because I thought it might be him, but no go.
Thanks to all who answered (PS, we said yowsah correctly, I just spelled it wrong.)

Wrong! Ben Bernie had this for a tagline.
Google him if you don't believe me.

Are you referring to Kay Kyser? He often dressed in a graduation cap and gown, and
focused on the older teenaged set. Ish Kabibble, was a member of his musical group
and was comic relief, even though Kay was funny by himself. Ish had a striking hair
style with his dark hair, and a straight across the forehead bangs and he had front
teeth that stood out as I recall. But the hairstyle was very pronounced.
There was another guy who was a band leader and was in a movie or two during
the early 50's. His name was unusual and made up of course. But I can't recall it.
He had a silly sound with lots of background noises with horns and things. A little
of him went a long way with me.
EDIT: Thanks to the next answer, I now remember the name of Spike Jones.I could
only remember the Jones part. One of these bandleaders has to be who you are
looking for, who fit your description.
