"In the bad bad lands of Australia, many years ago........"

Let's have some accuracy here. The overture to the opus to which you refer was not "In the bad bad lands of Australia". I am surprised, disappointed and somewhat distressed that you have omitted the profoundly thought-provoking lyric "oom-yacka-wurka, oom-yacka-wurka,..." with which the composer actually introduces us to the scenario. The "boomerang" tour de force was produced by a certain George Martin, who later did some work with a fairly well-known beat combo from Liverpool.

Now, I'm older than most rocks but, if this was the first record you bought, you must predate me by an epoch. This might explain your lapse of precision here but let's not allow our standards to slip.

On the plus-side, your user name brings to mind another classic from that era - "Mr. Bassman" by Johnny Cymbal - whose intro was also embellished with gems such as "bum bum buh bumbuh bum bum, bum buh bum bum....". I didn't buy this either but it now graces my vast mp3 collection, together with Mr. Drake's masterpiece and the genuine, original and best "Wimoweh" by Karl Denver. Now, if the tooth-fairy had been a bit more generous, I definitely would have bought that.

I take your point Brens.

As we have already discovered; you know stuff. Now, pray tell, give us your thoughts on:

Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy

Well, my Grandad had a version: "Jersey goats in cozy coats ...." but my Grannie used to shout at him to stop before he got any further. Therefore, my childhood was deprived, ruined by unresolved issues and without recourse to ChildLine. This caused my first "bought" record to be as reported in post 100.

"Mairzy Doats" failed to make my music collection, mainly because Max Bygraves, unlike Karl Denver, could never be described as being cool, hip or trendy. However, I suspect that, since you know at least one alternative lyric, YOU could be a Mairzy Doats oracle, cunningly scattering foliage over a mantrap and luring me towards it with your feminine guile.

So, what really happened to those Jersey goats? Is it on WikiLeaks?

Well neither Bygraves or Denver could get into our house while Burl Ives was here singing that song. Oh how mother and I would often burst into song. Dilly Dilly was yet another favourite of ours. This is wayyyyy off the subject of 'first record u bought' I'm not going to revisit mine, I've already blushed myself silly over it.

Regatta Blanc, The Police, was so proud of it brought it to a party and it was stolen ... and it was a rotten party!

While we are off it, I will say you have just triggered a memory which brought a laugh. I bought the first record player in the house but for some reason there was already a Burl Ives record there. My uncle was going on about how good it should be but I had my doubts . So I put it on and not being used to the process, had it on the wrong speed, so the singer sounded like a child! I had a pain in my sides laughing at the expression on my uncles face. Having never heard it before that wasn't quite what he was expecting, while we rubbished his taste in music
