Formerly books guy at the Dallas newspaper. Now writing mostly about ways to stay healthy and happy. Did I mention my book? I will. (Opinions are my own, not my employer's, and correct.) More words at www.merschel.net.
Oh, here. This is too perfect for me to allow my technical issues to stand in your way.

It might help if it showed the setup, though. I guess you'll have to click for yourself. You will not be sorry.

How about "Tevye's Dream" or "So Long Dearie?"

One could also make an argument for the middle part of "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," but upon review, it's not truly malarkey, just a desperate gasp of denial.

And while I am not throwing away my shot, you can take my wife, please. (Someplace nice, I hope, because things have been crazy since January.)

I defer to your expertise on how George Lucas laughs. But if you want to unify this entire thread, I would argue that Yoda definitely has a "heeheeheehee" quality, with the occasional "hoo hoo!"

This is the kind of debate I come to social media for.

As someone who has been trying to imitate Ernie since about 1969, I would definitely have included an "s" sound in there, perhaps:

"Ksch ksch ksch ksch kschhhhhh."

It does run the risk of being condensed to "Bleeps."
