Who was the big band leader who famously said "Yousah, Yousah, Yousah!"?

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.

Cab Calloway?

It sounds like Lynn has the answer but to answer her, it's Spike Jones. He had so much fun, remember Cocktails for Two.

It was yowsa, not YOUsa. I remember hearing it when I was a kid but I can't remember who it was. Could it have been Ozzie Nelson?
