The Les Paul and Mary Ford recording on Capitol was released as a single and reached no. 2 on the Billboard pop singles chart. Jeff Beck and Imelda May recorded their version of the Les Paul and Mary Ford version for a tribute to Les Paul in 2010.
@freddieplater "Tiger Rag" is a jazz standard, originally recorded and copyrighted by the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1917. It is one of the most recorded jazz compositions of all time.
To answer your question, 'wb', the original flip side of "Tiger Rag" [#1920] was "It's a Lonseome Old Town". "Meet Mister Callaghan" was originally issued on #2193 in mid-1952, with "Take Me In Your Arms", and later reissued as #1690, with "My Baby's Coming Home" on the flip side.
Copied and pasted from the On Line Dictionary-crass [kræs] adj stupid; gross. Paul and Mary sang the song. Do you think that they did not know what they were singing or even the way it was sung? What is stupid or disrespectful about answering the question posed by Signor Thomasino a few posts before this? If you chose to take offence to my posting, it shows your own prudishness. On my part I chose not to use slang names for penis when I could have used more colloquial less sensitive language.
I am a great fan of these two so who are you to claim the monopoly of defender?. Accepting that I have revealed the true hidden alternative meaning of this song, I would be interested to know how you would explain it in a reply, or do you deny my explanation?
Mary is trying to find Les Paul's tiger but his tiger is her pet name for his penis and she's teasing him and having fun. A double entendre has two meanings, one obvious and one perhaps not so. Try Google for double entendre songs.
@freddieplater May be, but that's a surprisingly disrespectful remark to make about musical legends/entertainers like the delightful and awesome Les and Mary. Think twice next time before being crass.
Recorded in December 1951, and originally released on Capitol #1920 (issued on "45" and "78", 'wb'); it became a #2 hit in early 1952. This is part of a two record "45 EP" edition of a 10 inch LP album ["The Hit Makers!"], released as a "greatest hits" collection in 1953.
When I was a child my parents had a several Les Paul records. 78rpm recording were very fragile and many got broken. I remember Tiger Rag and Meet Mr Callaghan. I wonder if these were on the same disk on a 78?
love the Jeff Beck cover of this Les Paul is amazing!!!!

It's weak to refer to other people's "dislikes."
