Lane Truesdale and the Kingsmen - Who's Yehoodi? (1943)

A novelity song inspired by a running gag by Jerry Colonna from Bob Hope's radio shows after violinist Yehudi Menuhin made a guest appearance on the program. Colonna was ever in search of a mythical (and invisible) figure named 'Yehudi.' "Yehudi" soon becoming synonymous with anything hidden or invisible and is said to have inspired a 'Project Yehudi' during WWII for the camouflage of ships and airplanes.
