O'blerg's Pub - where the food is cold, the drinks are warm, employees are rude, and audiences are indifferent!
O'blerg's Pub was founded in 1986 on the foundation of providing lousy products, delivered indifferently, at a bad price. These sound business practices have lead to great success in the hospitality industry.
Story behind the song
As all followers of our faith know, Robert Goulet was the Pope of Edmonton. This song was composed to be played at his funeral. The Grand Ayatollah suggests that henceforth it should be played at the funerals of all the faithful

Early life
Goulet was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the only son of French Canadian parents, Jeanette (née Gauthier) and Joseph Georges Andre Goulet, a laborer.[1] Shortly after his father's death, his mother, sister Claire, and Robert moved to Girouxville, Alberta, Canada when he was thirteen years old, where he spent his formative years throughout Canada.[2]
After living in Girouxville for a couple years, they moved to the provincial capital of Edmonton so that he could take advantage of the performance opportunities offered in the city. There, he attended the famous voice schools founded by Herbert G. Turner and Jean Letourneau, and later became a radio announcer for radio station CKUA. Upon graduating from Victoria Composite high school, Goulet received a scholarship to Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music. There, he studied voice with famed oratorio baritones, George Lambert and Ernesto Vinci.
Goulet's rise to fame started at the age of five. At a family gathering, Goulet's aunts and uncles blackened his face with burnt cork and prompted him to do Al Jolson impressions. Though his performance was well-received by his relatives, the experience was deeply traumatic for the young Goulet, and left him with performance anxiety, which would plague him for many years.[3] In spite of his stage fright, Goulet was encouraged by his parents to continue performing.
In 1952, he competed in CBC Television's Pick The Stars, ultimately ascending to the semifinals. This led to other network appearances on shows like Singing Stars of Tomorrow, Opportunity Knocks, and the Canadian version of Howdy Doody(in which he starred opposite another future star, William Shatner).[4]
