Musical Monday
Tasker Dunham of A Yorkshire Memoir brought forth an old memory, a song I liked when I was young and my dad liked it too.
By Paul Evans:
I hope it plays and of course it isn't the same funny version I watched at you tube, because THAT ONE doesn't come up in the selection screen 😕

Not one I had ever heard before. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I remember this from when I was very young. I'm glad it played.
DeleteYes that one is fun! thanks!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; I like fun songs, there aren't enough of them around these days.
DeleteI do so much agree, the pure exuberance and joy emanating from these old songs is something I dearly miss in modern music.
DeletePS. I always felt a bit sad for the poor driver in this song.
Charlotte; I'm sure he found a girl of his own eventually, but I think that playboy Fred might get left out in the cold.
DeleteI wish that I could be like Fred.
ReplyDeleteTasker Dunham; with the smaller cars of today I think that even Fred would start to feel a little crowded.
DeleteOh yes I remember that one. What a memory trip. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; I quite like Memory Lane. Thank you.
DeleteHi River! Hope you are well. I had not heard this song before, but I had heard the one on the blog that you linked to-Mole in a hole. A good song for children in a way with all the rhyming!
ReplyDeleteSarah; welcome to drifting. I thought Mole in a Hole would be good for children around four years old, they like rhyming. I like this one here today, it brings back memories of days when we had a radio but no television.
DeleteFred sounds like quite the player. Grandpa used to date twins, but even he wasn't as ambitious as Fred.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I always avoided the "Freds", afraid I'd get lost in the crowd.
DeleteGood one. I remember this.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; songs from simpler times are easy to listen to.
DeleteNever heard of it. It cute.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Dora; it is an old song from the 60s I think. Certainly not later.
DeleteFun song!
ReplyDeleteAll I remember from the backseat was "fighting" with my brother ;-)
And our parents smoking in the front, oh, my, those were the days (we´re still alive, right).
Iris Flavia; what I remember from the backseat is always being in the middle and always having a bucket on my lap because I got carsick.
DeleteYes I remember it. Fun song from years gone by.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, River.
Victor SE Moubarak; those years gone by had a lot of fun songs, things easily understood and easily sung along with. Not like a lot of loud, angry, shouting songs from later years.
DeleteWho was that Fred guy in the back? I expect he was a has-been disc jockey with greasy hair and malodorous breath. The girls' parents may not have been aware of his paedophilic nature.
ReplyDeleteYorkshire Pudding; I imagine he was the town's "Playboy" with girls swooning over him in crowds until they found someone more "real" to settle down with. I don't think there is anything paedophilic about the song. I think the term "little girls" is used the same way grown men call their sweethearts "baby"
