Popular when I was in 6th grade; brings back memories.

does anyone know who sang the "oh wofie" in Disney's 'Swing Shift Cinderella"?...looove the voice of the lady there

[laughland]

@bex271 Her name was Imogene Lynn. It was not by Disney though - it was a Tex Avery cartoon from MGM.

Wee Bonnie Baker

[vandywilliam]

Whereas Wee Bonnie Baker was the singer on this -- and other Orrin Tucker songs such as "Billy" and "You'd Be Surprised" -- Orrin himself was the lead singer on many of his orchestra's recordings.

Today February 17th is Orrin Tucker's

98th Birthday!!!

[Georgewos]

She also sang an Irving Berlin song called You'd Be Surprised. Madelyn Kahn sang it on a tribute to Irving Berlin on His 100th birthday in 1988. Its on YouTube. It seems like Madelyn is doing an imitation of Fanny Brice.

orrin tucker is still living he is 97

[foamy2345]

wasnt this song in that old droopy cartoon when the little red riding hood sings it but instead she sings "oh woofy"? it sounds so similar but i cant find this episode anywhere

[pax41]

I have no idea but that would be funny.

[Alienlove]

yes, it is. The cartoon is Red Hot Ridding Hood from Tex Avery

[SilencedPunk]

The cartoon is from Tex Avery but it's called swing shift Cinderella..I think it sounds cuter with the "oh wolfie" lyrics...:)

Swing Shift Cinderella (1945) and again in Little Rural Riding Hood (1949)

[robgems2]

too smooth and slow for me ,of course by 1939,swing has took over .

[pax41]

This is just one of those classics and this version was a very popular one in its day.

[robgems2]

i agree entirely,the trouble with my site is i have tried to put every type of music on ,oblivious to whether i like it or not .sometimes the more well known are great and sometimes i like the lesser known.

[pax41]

I usually only post records that I like first. I do like to post my favorite artists too.

[robgems2]

thats my problem ,i have too many.thinking of dispersing some.

[CZERCHIE46]

My Mom always sang this to us kids, about her Dad my grandpop's name was Johnny..thanks Pax41 for the memory of my Mom and the good ol' days !!

[pax41]

Glad I could help with those memories. I knew this song as a kid too from some old records my friends parents had.

[55racer]

Orrin Tucker w/ Wee Bonnie baker on vocal...:)

[pax41]

It is and I guess I forgot to put that information on.

[tweetybird1937]

Wow, I haven't heard this in years.

Johnny was the name of my first boyfriend

[pax41]

One of my favorites from this time period. Glad you enjoyed it too.

This song brings my Aunt to tears, cuz it reminds her of her first born; he used to jump up and down in his baby crib whenever he heard it. Thanks for posting this, I have been looking for it but did not know who recorded it, and my Aunt wouldn't tell me, didn't want to cry.

[pax41]

You are welcome and enjoy the song and all the others.
