Andy Kershaw had an obsession with this pair many years ago. Since most of the songs are about cheating, perhaps it's not surprising that, looking at the selections available, Carl seems to have gone solo in later years. Actually seeing them was something of a shock to the system - hardly the prettiest couple in showbiz, but as the caption says, "rough-hewn pure country". Here in glorious technicolor:

The guy who put this up has an unbelievably wide selection of 50s and 60s country TV clips. Look up under the username gatorrock787.

As somebody mentions on another clip (Gone, gone, gone), it was later adopted by Marge Simpson.

I was going to express my amusement at the choice of Carl and Pearl for the viagra advert, but thanks for clearing it Zee, and happy birthday by the way!
