That does have to be the most phallic microphone I've ever seen...

Thanks for posting this video gem.!Readers here may aIso be interested in the 1940 Fats Waller song "Eep ipe wanna piece of pie" . The words to that some & comments about eefing can be found online by googling Eephing"Mudcat". Mudcat is a discussion forum. Btw, eef rhymes with beef. My interest in this started because I was seeking sources for the playground rhyme "Oh my I wanna piece of pie". This is definitely one of the sources of that rhyme & other lines like the eep op ork jetson cartoon.

OMG..I had this on an album called Looney Tunes when i was a kid..that along with Kooky Country gaves us hours of laughs back in the day :)

[YodaOz]

i had that same album when i was a kid!

[Mrfunkyfilmore]

@hfxmusicman I had the Looney Tunes album as well in the late 70's with the other album Funky Favorites. Great memories.

[TummyRumble]

@hfxmusicman ...w0w... i still have that album but alas no record player to play it on now :( but yes i listened to it so much that the songs are permantly etched in my head ;)

[Lojikbom]

That's "eefin" hilarious! ;)

[Jaybird1103]

Jimmy Riddle did the "Eefin" on this song. Jimmy was also known for the "Eefin and Hambone" duo with Jackie Phelps on "Hee Haw".

This was a treasure to enjoy! I've loved the first one for a long time, and the second one was a daring title, but a great love song too! I wish you hadn't fast-forwarded through the third song though. Now if you could find "Uncle Eeef" also, that would be another great treat!

[tredwest]

Great post!

Thank you!

This song was on a comedy compilation record a friend of mine owned when we were kids.

Funny, crazy tune.

i apperciate all the good things that everybody said about my grandfather (n.blackwell) and watching these tapes helps me get closure abiut his death

[countrypaul]

Your grandfather seems to have been a real gentleman with great delivery - and what a voice! Joe Perkins is an unexpected treat! I only knew "Annie," and always thought he was a white guy - pleasant surprise. "Slave" is a good track - and what a voice Mr. P. has, too.

[youknuckle]

He was an under appreciated part of the media, that voice is unmistakeable

[joeperkins32]

I love this song.

...and I'm called Joe Perkins too. :) Heh heh

Used to stay up late to watch Night Train when I lived in Murfreesboro in '66.  N. Blackwell had some wild acts. Sorry that the video didn't show him smoking with his cigerette holder.

After Little Effin' Annie I'm thinking, ahh that's funny, but this guy is a joke.

But "Runaway Slave" is wonderful, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful talent.

Where did you find the footage from Night Train?

[bigmikeho]

R.I.P. Mr Noble Blackwell. a true pioneer!

[WayOutWardell]

Where do you dig up this stuff?!  FANTASTIC!!

[DekeDickerson]

A dream has come true tonight. I finally got to see Joe Perkins do Little Eefin' Annie. This is incredible!!!
