Astaire and Dobilina and Funkee

Compare and contrast the evolution of a name repeated.

Fred Astaire singing, "I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now,"

The drone of "Telephone call for Mr. Astaire.  Paging Mr.Astaire"

A number from the movie, "Damsel in Distress", 1937

with

"Zilch" by the Monkees (Headquarters, 1967)

"Mr. Dobilina, Mr. Bob Dobilina"

Which is a name the Monkees SWEAR they heard at an airport, on the intercom.

And now, just for fun:

Mistadobilina

recorded by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, 1991, Elektra Entertainment.
(direct sample of Peter Tork's voice in a rap video)
