I've Tried toWrite a Sensible Blog

Really, I have - but I keep finding nonsense filling my brain. So here's a selection of what I've had in there over the past week. 

Let's start with Stanley Holloway's recording of The Lion and Albert. This was a favourite of my Dad so brings back all sorts of memories.

Then there was this novelty song by Phil Harris The Thing.

 Another bit of musical nonsense was this - Close the Door here performed by The Stargazers.

I did manage one  more cultured piece of music. It's Orinoco Flow sung here by the original members of the Irish group Celtic Woman. I've been trying to get a playlist organised for an upcoming event and and this is right at the top of my list. Enjoy.

Earworm Songs

 I'm working on getting rid of a lot of "stuff" which is cluttering up the place and for some reason some earworm songs seem the right accompaniment. They date from the forties and fifties but were still on air while I was growing up.

first up is The Little Blue Man sung here by Betty Johnson. She was the original singer but there were a bunch of later covers.

Then there's this Mairzy Doats - and I have to tell you I had to look hard to find this original version by the Pied Pipers which dates from before I was even thought of.

Then how could I forget this The Purple People Eater  sung by Sheb Wooley and this says it is the official video.

Enough? Probably. Listen at your peril (but they are amusing).
