Honeymooners parody called The Honey-EARTHERS by Stan Freberg review:

This was made back in 1955. On this less-frequently-heard track, the Stan Freberg-Daws Butler team give us their ‘moon alien’ take on the Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton characters immortalized on the 1950s small screen by Jackie Gleason and Art Carney. Freberg regulars June Foray and Billy May’s orchestra are also here.

The announcer says it’s time for a visit to our favorite moon couple: Ralph & Alice Kramden. According to the announcer, they are better known as the Honey-EARTHERS. It’s morning and we join them in the kitchen. Alice is singing a song about Earth. Ralph comes in. Alice is making breakfast. She gives him a new breakfast called Nuclear Nibbles and it comes in a lead box. Ha! She accidentally drops the box on Ralph’s foot but he doesn’t know which one so he will see for himself. How could he not know which foot is hurt? Is he THAT dumb? So he takes off his shoes and apparently he has THREE feet and apparently they are heavy. Ralph: “Alice, look at my poor toe.” Alice: “I can see.” Ralph: “Oh, you are a dandy. One of these LIGHT YEARS, one of these LIGHT YEARS, POW right in the ANTENNA. I may lose a toe. It takes hours to grow a new one.” Ralph leaves.

It’s lunchtime and Ralph meets up with Ed. Ralph says that he had a fight with Alice and wonders how he can make it up. Ralph: “We have been married 300 LIGHT YEARS.” Ed: “How come you never took her on a honey-EARTH?” Ralph says that that is a great idea and they will do that. Ralph goes to see what Alice made him for lunch which apparently is in a lead bag that he drops on his foot. Ralph: “That’s too feet gone. I only got one good foot to drive with this afternoon. All day long it’s telling folks to move back to the rocket ship.” Ed says that he is getting fed up working in that green cheese mine.

Later on, Ralph & Ed come into the Kramden house and Alice gets told of the news. She is so excited. Ralph: “Get your suitcase. Ed doesn’t have anything to sit on. Music is heard. Ed says that it’s an organ grinder outside the window. Alice: “On the window still, there’s an earth man on a string with a tin cup.” They notice that he’s got two legs, two arms, one head and a pinstriped suit.” Ed can’t look at him because he’s too gruesome. Alice: “He’s playing our song.” Ralph: “That’s right. You’re the greatest.” It’s implied that Ralph hugged and kissed either Alice or the pinstriped man (oh gosh! Remember this was the 1950s). Alice: “He liked it. Put a penny in his cup and come to dinner.” The end.
