gwalchmai Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 This appears in my head from time to time and plays for a few days. Not really obscure, it was a hit when I first heard it in the 60s. Only band I recall being named after a fabric, and it's kinda catchy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby)" My mother actually used to sing this to me when I was little. I never forgot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 There was a novelty song sometime around 1964 and 1965 called, "Look out for the Bears" --or something like that but I've tried Googling it and I can never find it. It had one line in the song that I remember that went, "If you're swimming in your pool, don't loose your cool, and fall down and get drowned by a water bear". and the whole song was about different kinds of bears that could GET YOU if you didn't watch out for the bears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another song I liked was "Once upon a time in the West". I saw Mark Knoffler play once in small club. Great show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 This was my sister's first record, a 45 RPM, ever. She played it all day, every day. They couldn't make this record today. The hippie Marxist's heads would explode because: racism. A white guy cannot sing about Indians, er, native Americans, uh, indigenous peoples. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I spent many, many hours as a lad trying to duplicate Mr. Bilk's tone and phrasing on my clarinet. I think I was round ten or eleven. Must have driven my parents and sister crazy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother used to sing this a lot along with Red Wing, Hiawatha, and other songs of the area. She used to be a singer when my father met her. This was commonly heard in our home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
