Brilliant Rebecula! I remember that being shown during children's programmes on BBC 1 back in the sixties.

I have a feeling there were others of a like sort, anyone know?

Jellybaby1 · 20-06-2012 10:23pm

Hi cml387, there were tons of similar. One in particular has gone awol in the mists of time, it was the Banana Boat Song, possibly Bert and Ernie, or other muppets, can't remember but one muppet had to leave the room and sing "Day-O' from outside, because he was 'too loud'. You could see him through a window and he had to trot back and forth to do the song, hilarious! Anyone else remember that one? If you find it on the www pleeeeeze let me have the link as I've been looking for it for years. In the mean time, I like these: (P.S. the muppets were wasted on kids!! Better for adults)

Rubecula · 21-06-2012 2:09pm

That link I posted is the only one I can ever remember about leaving the room ans singing Day -O through the window. I don't remember the muppets doing it as well.

I will keep looking for it though JellyBaby, just for you LOL

(Prefer Bugs Bunny and Speedy Gonzales anyway

)

looksee · 21-06-2012 2:13pm

This is a very vague and distant memory, but I don't think that was the Muppets. I remember it but wasn't it something like Morcambe and Wise - it may (slowly) come back to me

Jellybaby1 · 21-06-2012 2:13pm

Himself likes Foghorn Leghorn, I say himself likes FOGHORN LEGHORN!

Morcambe & Wise, they might have done it, but I distinctly remember a fuzzy coloured stuffed article, but that might have been Eric.....or Ernie!

P.S. I hate it everytime I edit, you all get told that I edited! Can I edit without you knowing I made lots of booboos?

Rubecula · 21-06-2012 2:18pm

This is all I can find on the Bananboat song from the muppets.

Jellybaby1 · 21-06-2012 2:20pm

Like wot I already posted up above.

Rubecula · 21-06-2012 2:23pm

Yes indeed JellyBaby it is the same one. LOL I didn't mean to usurp you, just got carried away with my search. Too anxious to pleae methinks. Sorry

Jellybaby1 · 21-06-2012 2:24pm

Youusurperyou! Bye bye!:D

cml387 · 23-06-2012 10:07pm

This is the one I was thinking of, though I must be remembering hearing it on the radio as it is the little clattery footsteps that I remember, not the characters.

It's Stan Freberg what done that.

He famously did "alternative" versions of hits of the day.

One remembers his deconstruction of "Old Man River" with particular fondness, and also check out his persecution of the snare drummer in "The Yellow Rose Of Texas"

Jellybaby1 · 24-06-2012 1:14am

That's the song complete with footsteps Looksee, but the visual is wrong - I will go to my grave and never remember who the people/puppets/muppets were. Oh well!

I agree JB, the sound is right but I am sure I have never seen the cartoon before. I remember those little footsteps though.

This has little footsteps

Ah! Fr Ted territory

But no, it was definitely the footsteps in the bugs bunny cartoon. Of course we could all be suffering from a mass memory scramble...

Jellybaby1 · 06-07-2012 4:42pm

I was ten when this was released, but I remember it - I never knew what the words were and now I do. Strange choice of title!

Now you're talking Ruthloss. Himself and I saw these movies when we were 'going out' together in the 70's. Music easy on the ear, sending tingles up my spine - Clint was very easy on the eye too!

Just back from London. I'm still overawed by the stageshow.

I knew that! Does that make me a sad case?

Saw a very interesting programme about the Hollies last week. Did'ja know that most of their recordings were done in Abbey Road studios? There was a lot of toing and froing, during sessions, with the members of another, well-known beat combo.

And did'ja know that "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was written by their lead singer, Allan Clarke, who also played the rather difficult guitar intro because their lead guitarist, Tony Hicks, couldn't quite get it right?

And did'ja know that the recording of the steel drums on "Carrie Anne" was so off key that all sorts of 1960's boffinry was needed to use the recording?

Oh, so much information, so little time to tell yiz!

Jellybaby1 · 19-10-2014 10:40pm

Brens you sound just like himself. Y'suck up all this useless information and spew it out whenever the fancy takes you.

Maybe you are himself in disguise!

Useless informa........USELESS inf??????? Whoh??

Lucky I didn't start on The Searchers or Brian Poole and the Tremeloes or Creedence Clearwater Revival. I could fill forums with vital data on those three.

Did'ja know that John C. Fogarty of CCR wrote the Status Quo classic, "Rockin' All Over The World"? Useless information!?!?! Hhrrumfff!

What's Mr. Jellybaby's specialist subject? Bet I could whup him in a quiz about wood-turning chisels or oil filter removal tools.

His specialist subject is usually music/bands/singers from 60's, 70's, 80's. He regularly amazes me with useless information about who the lead guitarist was in which band, before so-and-so, and what type of guitar he played, and how many Weetabix he ate for breakfast!! He often comes out with useless information on people I've long forgotten. Still doesn't remember the ould weddin' anniversary mind! :rolleyes: And yes, you could definitely whup him in a wood-turning competition, but I don't believe that would bother him at all.

BrensBenz · 25-10-2014 4:48pm

Is there anything more irritating than listening to a radio DJ talking all over your favourite bit, when the pesky singer takes a break, usually the intro or the outro? Today, some criminally untalented airhead DJ on FM radio, in love with her acquired Cavan / Kansas accent, insisted on telling me some useless information about herself while drowning out all of Dennis Wilson's masterpiece intro.

Just in case any of yiz were equally appalled by this.....this.....this DJ, I've attached a link. The intro lasts just 10 seconds or so but takes effect within 3 or 4 seconds, i.e. faster than any known pharmaceutical.

"Da dum Ta, Da dum Ta, Da dum Ta, Da dumdum Ta"....

Ahhhhhh, that's better.

Just found this and it's magic! Part of a Beach Boys concert in 1964.

Five handsome, clean cut, clean shaven kids, in matching clothes, matching Fender guitars, simple pop music with great vocal harmonies (see Surfer Girl and In My Room), all from the troubled genius Brian Wilson (the tall one with the bass guitar, singing falsetto), Mike Love doing the Watusi, playing to an audience of enthralled kids and a few bemused parents.

Made my day! Feel free to mock.....I'm not listening to yiz!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGp1a4O29oI

Jellybaby1 · 26-10-2014 4:29pm

Yep, I liked the B.Boys, except for one song......Good Vibrations! I make no apology, I never took to it. Clean cut, maybe, but I can't forgive chewing gum while you sing to me.....yuck! disgusting! I don't want to see what you have been chewing. :mad:

This must be a banning offence? With possible legal, ethical, medical and ecumenical repercussions too!

"Don't like Good Vibrations"?!?!? Janey Mac! Car 54, where are you? Break out the handcuffs and bring this......this......person to the Eye and Ear Hostible for an emergency lugs checkup.

Did'ja know that Brian (genius) Wilson engineered most of their recordings (between nervous breakdowns) but was so deaf in one ear that he couldn't hear stereo? Unlike Mozart, Beethoven and that lot, he could "hear" four part harmonies in his head but even "Good Vibrations" was originally recorded in mono because of his hearing handicap.

Good to see him looking well on that BBC 4 (TV) space filler based on "God Only Knows".

"Don't like Good Vibrations"?!?!? Janey.....Janey Mac!

Jellybaby1 · 27-10-2014 1:49pm

Don't care whatcha say.......still don't like Good Vib!

BrensBenz · 29-10-2014 1:52pm

Well, how about something completely different? OK, I know the quality isn't great but, for me, it conjures up a time when things were simple and pleasant. And, although I can still hear my late dad saying that Tommy Makem looked like "a right bowld bowsie" (rogue), I could listen to him for hours.

Did I ever tell yiz that I met Mr. Makem at a St.Patrick's Day Fair in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1988? In a stall selling musical instruments, I was playing something Irish on a (dreadful) metal-fronted guitar. The owner of the stall joined in (fair play to him - he never heard the tune before) and a small crowd gathered. My skin wasn't designed for Texas sun, and it showed. A Norn Arsh voice from the crowd said "one of these players isn't from Texas....and I bet I know which one!" With his big, bold grin, it was Mr. Makem.

We had a little chat and I thought he was a charming man. Later, at the concert with Liam Clancy, I was trying discreetly to get a photo of them for my parents. Makem was introducing the next song when he stopped, stared at me and told the lighting guy to point the beam at me. He muttered something about my guitar playing which I didn't really hear because, talk about "scarleh"! I was on fire, so I was! Morto.....but not quite devistahid, dough buh!

This song used to give me the shudders, when it came on the radio on a Sunday night. It meant not long till bed and a whole week of school tomorrow.

Remember those days when there was only the one B&W TV channel.

The Youtube thingy has been disabled so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVZIx3tuxws

Great / horrific memory - thanks. Cliff Adams and his Singers, with some mad flooter on accordion. Uugghhh!

When I was renovating my boat in the late 1990's, (after hours in my place of work), I usually had the radio on. "Sing Something Simple" was the starting pistol for any electrical / pneumatic tool loud enough to drown out the approaching dirges from the wurless. The bowels of the boat made a great soundbox for the tools and failing that, I had ear defenders to muffle the radio.

Oh well, it was only a half hour long and, I seem to remember it was followed by either the marvelous Pam Ayres or the one and only David Jabobs.

PS: The boss, an Ozzie, ex-military despot, had welded the hangar radio tuning knob to BBC Radio 2 because it once broadcast "Two-Way Family Favourites" and played "God Save the Queen" or, as he had it "Gud Sive the Quine" last thing at night.

Here's some fun music, with musicians making it look easy. I know it's five minutes long but it's worth it!

I wanted to send a musical gift to Brens on his recent good medical result. We saw this guy live in Dublin many years ago and we loved him, serious musicians know him well. Hope you enjoy:
