I wore this record out when I was a kid. If it’s ever available on CD? I’m SO buying it. For now, sadly, it can only be found as a used and scratchy record, and I have no turntable anyway.
It’s probably for the best. Stuff’s never as good as we remember. But at least I wouldn’t drive myself crazy trying to recall the lyrics to something I think was “funny little bunny from the world (land?) of upside down…”
Even as a kid, I knew the little girl on the cover had to be miserable when her mom forced her to sit still for accordion* music.
*I suppose that could be a bandoneón or a concertina; I’m not really educated on the finer details of squeezeboxes.
i just looked on gemm.com cos usually you can find vinyl stuff on there at least still in good condition…but they don’t have a title that matches it.
there’s a ‘song children love to sing’ by ella jenkins, but it’s on cd..so i don’t guess that’s it.
there’s another ‘songs children love to sing’ on vinyl, no artist listed, and it’s only $1.98..
the tracklist is:
jim crack corn-blue tail fly-i gave my love a cherry/foggy, foggy dew- grandfather’s clock-sweet and low/the campbells are coming-comin’ through the rye-my bonnie lies over the ocean-annie laurie-loch lomond/polly wolly doodle- sweet betsy from pike-irene-clementine/get along little doggie-red river valley-old chisholm trail/ jessie james-oh! bury me not on the lone prairie/big rock candy mountain-on top of old smokey-she’ll be coming ’round the mountain/poor little buttercup-tit willow/the band played on-skip to my lou-turkey in the straw-buffalo gal-there’ll be a hot time int he old town tonight/this old man/i’ve been working on the railroad-down in the valley/america the beautiful-the star spangled banner/a warrior bold-sailing, sailing- the british grendadier-when johnny comes marching home again/animal fair-mr froggie went a courtin’-listen to the mocking bird/all through the night=brahmn’s lullaby-sleep, baby, sleep/
don’t know if that one’s it, but the price is right.
Thanks for researching! Nope, that’s not the one. It’s for sale a couple of places on vinyl, but there’s no reason for me to get it, since I have no turntable.
