I have blogged about this once before when I found a sample of another version*, but it was tres nostalgic to hear the full version.
His version of The Teddy Bears Picnic* with Hall on vocal, has become a perennial favourite with children sterling times
Another novelty from Hall: The Broken Record - novelty fox trot
...the title of this catchy tune is the nightmare of every 78-record collector! I love the the way in which the tune incorporates the sound of a cracked record, by imitating the repeat which occurred when the needle skipped.

If you go out on the field today,
you better go in disguise
If you go out on the field today,
you're in for a big surprise
For every wolf that aver there was,
will gather round, for certain because,
today's the day the Wickham Wolves have a victory
Victory time for Wickham Wolves
The mighty Wickham Wolves are having a f**cking good win today
See us, watch us kick our goals ...
Ahem. Etc.

Sounds like it was a rare thing - a once-a-year day- for the wolves to win?
Wonder if Brisbane ever considered this a club song?

Unbearable?

Unbearable!
a similar novelty foxtrot: Where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday Night?
Susoz is searching for a replacement for her worn out copy of Mitch Millers Christmas Favourites!

"They went hunting for rabbits when the weather grew colder...?"
(oh it seems I can't link here to the lyrics - but see the first hit if you Google the title. A great site with novelty songs lyrics)
You can hear the mp3 here:

(btw - unbearable was re Brisbane FC. I'm rather fond of the songs of yesterday)

I've Got The Yes We Have No Bananas Blues...

Yes, we got no bananas
But man I got the blues.
I say yes, we got no bananas.
But man, I got the blues.
Banana man come on Monday,
Kept drivin' right on by,
He had my baby with him,
Now all I do is cry.
Yes, we got no bananas
But man I got the blues.
I say yes, we got no bananas.
But man, I got the blues.

"Yesterday somebody kept on asking me,
"Say, what's a wegistable what begins with "P"?
I gave it up and I asked him to tell--
When he said, "Pananas!" I just had to yell!
P! A! N! A! N! A!
Yes! No, no! Take 'um away!
I've got the "Yes, We Have No Bananas" Blues
Today..."

"Who Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle?")

Alas, my PC is mute. So even if I dared, 't would be in vain. A sad case of nothing to gain so nothing ventured.

Once you see the lyrics, it's E-Z to sing a long in your head if you think of a standard Eddie Jolson mutation

Don't miss Epileptic Guava's soon to be long awaited "Missed the Link and got Totally Whooshed Blues"
Posted by Gummo Trotsky at December 3, 2005 06:46 PM
