DIY tales

Spike Jones, did the slipery elm tree, with his city slickers, if I'm not mistaken. :D

 

No, that was Phil Harris. The album was "That's What I Like About The South" (released in 1958)and the song is "Woodman, Spare That Tree". I know because I have it in front of me as I type!! The album also includes "The Darktown Poker Club", "The Deck Of Card" and "Muskrat Ramble"!

 

Spike Jones did 'Serutan Yob' (Nature Boy -backwards!) and 'Hawaiian War Chant' didn't he?

Whoos Phil Harris,........Never heard of Phil Harris :(

 

Michaelmas Daisy - you've just plunged me straight back into my childhood. My father had "Woodman spare that tree" on LP (78 style) - "woodman spare that tree, chop not a single chop" - my imagination has a lovely picture of Phil Harris doing his "imitation of a bird" to get away from his wife - and of course the Darktown Poke Club.

Can you buy it still, cos I would love to have to own that record.

 

Don't think so but I'll happily do you a tape if you e-mail me.

As for you, Pete, I can only say one thing - child!!

 

Beginning to feel a bit out of my depth here. :rolleyes:

 

Do enjoy reading your postings.
Sorry I'm not saying much, but i'm learning plenty

 

I think it was Stan Freberg who did the "Banana Boat Song" comedy routine.

Spike Jones did a version of "Yes We Have No Bananas"

Yeah I've heard some of them before. :D Ed Stewpot on Saturday mornings. But I think they were old then.
