Blinky Palermo, born Peter Schwarze, aka Peter Heisterkamp (June 2, 1943 - February 18, 1977), was a German abstract painter.
Schwarze (whose last name became Heisterkamp when he was adopted as an infant) was given his outlandish name in 1964, during his studies with Joseph Beuys at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. The name refers to an American Mafioso and boxing promoter who was famous at the time for "owning" Sonny Liston. According to legend, it was given to Schwarze at the suggestion of Beuys when the famous teacher noticed the physical resemblance between Schwarze and the gangster.

Now that is what I call funny, and the most annoying. Genius of you to come up with such sound.

I recorded the sound from a Dumb & Dumber sound board, it's Jim Carey's voice.
