We're looking at different renditions of the same musical item. As you might imagine, the non-musician was probably miming.

Now what follows U in this game? Shall I try for V?

I'm assuming the royal six are Henry's wifelets
would love to know how Dave got into the U question, I might learn something from the master codebreaker

Well, the first two letters are right! The "royal" is much more recent - hopefully the clue isn't too misleading. You are i think in the right VW opera.
Re U. Crazy Gang -> Flanagan and Allen (wikipedia) -> tried "under" and "underneath" (underneath the arches), then looked for "under" plus Kay Kyser, similarly for Gambon. Dead end, so went back to look at list of works by F and A, and hit upon umbrella. Then search again for "umbrella" with Kay Kyser, and also Gambon. Bingo - job done!

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
