Hokey Wolf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hokey Wolf is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon that appeared on The Huckleberry Hound Show in 1960, filling the slot left by Yogi Bear.
Hokey Wolf (voiced by Daws Butler to sound like Phil Silvers) is a con-artist wolf who is always trying to cheat his way to the simple life. He is accompanied in this by his diminutive, bowler-wearing sidekick Ding-a-Ling Wolf (voiced by Doug Young to sound like Buddy Hackett).
The theme music for Hokey’s segment of the show was an instrumental version of the refrain from Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.[1]
