I remember that movie. Abbot and Costello would be hearing this insane
story from a third party (who was very bald, not that it mattered
much). And he was telling them this story about "Kokomoko" and it was
always triggered by something that Costello said. And then the bald one
would say, "Slowly I turned..." and he would attack Costello, choking
him and punching him out. It was very popular in my neighborhood but
that was because Lou Costello was born in my home town and grew up
there. It was proof that a Paterson kid could get out of town and make
it big. He used to come back to Paterson every now and then and there
is now a Lou Costello park commemorating him in the city of his birth.

It was such a popular routine, that it appeared in several of the Abbot
and Costello movies.
