This really brings back memories of Bob Sievers, Jay Gould, Earl Fickle, Dugan Frye and Dave Russell listening to WOWO growing up on a farm in the flatlands of Northwest Ohio. Now I am in the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains Of Upstate South Carolina living with beautiful wife while remembering those days of WOWO. Thank Goodness Pat White of WOWO honor of interviewing the late Capt Phil Harris of F/V Cornelia Marie featured on Deadliest Catch
I remember this tune on WOWO from the morning farm show - it played right after the roosters stopped crowing. They had a barbershop chorus singing it at a faster tempo. Anyone know what group that was? It's not been posted anywhere on the net.
anybody knows where I can get a copy of this with the original version sung by Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers on WOWO in Ft. Wayne, please message me. Thanks
I use to listen to this on the radio and just asked on FB if anyone knew the song. I lived in Defiance and my Mom would listen to the radio when I was a kid and the part "on the farm, on the farm, down in Indiana" is stuck in my head. If you get a response I would love to know. Had to of been the tune that has beentrapped in my head for years.
@ joeamyrivers - I sure will. I know a lot of Sam DeVincent's archives were auctioned off after his death and when WOWO changed formats from music to talk. I know they have to be out there somewhere.......
I never realized what a good singer Judy Canova was. I've been revisiting some of her old stuff and am impressed by her versatility despite her hillbilly act.
I am surprised too. I was born in 1954 and had never before heard of Judy Canova until seeing the movie Scatterbrain on TCM. She had a great vocal range and although she played a hick she was quite charming. Amazing you hear so little about her!
Hi, I have a Judy Canova movie uploaded on my channel. "Joan of Ozark" of course she is always going to be that hillbilly., but she sings some good tunes.
Judy Canova's voice is remarkably low here. At first I was a little confused when they were singing together, trying to figure out where that deep voice was coming from.
I don't believe so...it's hard to tell with that suit since Spike wore one similar...but when he took the hat off, he has dark hair. I always thought Spike's was blond.
The song, from the Warner Bros. catalogue, was also used at the start of Tweety & Sylvester's "Fowl Weather" (1953)....Rosie had a syndicated TV series in 1956-'57 [39filmed episodes], featuring guest stars like Judy, who was in the twilight of her performing career {her last starring film had been 1955's "Lay That Rifle Down", and her radio series had ended a few years before}.
Thanks for posting. I became aware of this song from the beginning of a Warner Brothers Bugs Bunny cartoon called "Robot Rabbit". Bugs and Elmer Fudd sing some of this in the very first scene. Here I get to see the full version. Very catchy and upbeat.
Cute song, with a great performance from both girls - and that's The Hi-Lo's vocal group joining them on the final chorus, isn't it? Thanks for sharing it with us wa6tkq. Do let us see some more Rosie Clooney clips from this same show.
Consider this cultural education, kids: people in America used to dress up for everyday. Yeah, gloves were passe by the mid-50's, when I was a kid (& I never liked 'em, myself)--but my mother literally had a small drawer full of them. In the '40's, they'd apparently been much more everyday (out-of-the-house)wear for women. And NO man would wear them, so forget the Seinfeldian reference. (HE was complaining about some lady's BARE hands freaking him out.)
gloves were the style, me thinks. in White Christmas, she wears white gloves in one number that makes it look as if she has man-hands. Very distracting.
I'm lovin' me some Rosie......
