I also remember Perry well, especially that dreadful Catch a
Falling Star that was his biggest hit. It's gotta be right up there
with How Much Is That Doggie in the Window as one of the more
annoying hits of all time (along with the Chipmunk Song).
Years later SCTV did a great sendup of him, with a cardigan-clad
Eugene Levy playing Perry so laid- back that he sang while lying on
the floor! LOL

Absolutely not. Mr. C was definitely Perry Como. He had a "request"
segment on his TV show and the Melotones-like group would start it
each week with the refrain "Sing to me, Mr. C, sing to me." FRANC
P.S. I'm not as old (or as cranky) as John McCain, but I did watch
this show when I was five.

Bing Crosby is Mr. C, I'm guessing...

And you won't go wrong
If you take a song
Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea

"Put 'em in a Box, Tie 'em with a Ribbon, and Throw 'em in the Deep
Blue Sea" is a popular song.
The music was written by Jule Styne, the lyrics by Sammy Cahn. The
song was published in 1947.
The song was introduced in the 1948 movie Romance on the High Seas,
where it was sung by Doris Day.

You can take the moon
Gather up the stars
And the robins that sing merrily
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
You can take the flowers
Down in lovers lane
And that sentimental poetry
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep
You can take the plans
And the wedding bells
And whoever sings "Oh Promise Me"
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree
(Bridge)
Hansoms through the park
Kisses in the dark
All the promises made faithfully
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
And you won't go wrong
If you take a song
Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Not for me, all that stuff
Not for me, had enough
You know what to do
With good old "Tea for Two"
And the girl for you, the boy for me
Put 'em in a box
Tie it with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree
