Jimmie Rodgers - Honeycomb (Original)

[ducklifer]

My grandparents had a radio the size of the great pyramids, and the record player in a drawer played only 45 RPM records. I was spoiled, so they played this song 1 million times in a row for me. Since we moved away about the time of my third birthday I had to be two at the time, and I still love this song!

[shirleumcdaniel]

Sung this song many, many times!

[Priyeshnarayanan]

And the honeycomb from a million trips

Made my baby's lips :))

[MissSierraStudios]

I'm 16 years old. I perfer this song to ANY song today. :) I miss falling asleep to this music. <3

Too bad Commericalism found this free-spirited song advantageous to making profits on their products for the general-public at large . .

[doghousecptn]

Hey, this song sounds familiar...isn't this from the cereal commercial?

[undergovictor]

When I heard this song as a teenacher, it just stayed with me and I've never forgotten the words. I guess that one of Jimmie Rodgers Spiritual Cell helped me out with "IT" cause although I never practiced the song, I was able to sing it for years and still do when my arthritis allow me to play my guitar. :)

God Bless his soul and call me crazy but I know that many of my spiritual cells will want to thank him during Eternity.

Happy Birthday, Jimmie Rodgers!

[booboogirl8]

love this song always

[CenaTv2]

I prefer the Stereo re-recording he did probably in the early 1960's

[7927jackpark]

Jimmie's the only guitarist-singer I knew of who used his left thumb like a guitarist would use a capo.

[duqmiguel]

@7927jackpark Jimi Hendrix did it too, brother . . .

[Skeety7]

Ever think of all the great music in 1957 ??

[wartornz11]

rockinmosquito  you are so funny

[miltonbatalion]

Bob Merrill only wrote the lyrics to those Funny Girl songs.  Jule Styne wrote the music.

[cboncklis]

Send me back to the 50s! I had enough of today's life, society and music. I want to go back in time! I want to live there forever.. PLEASE!!!!

[stanton327]

rockinmosquito. My view on age has shifted drastically. When I was 18 in college, my roommate moved his 25 year old girlfriend into the dorm. All I thought was "What if the old bag drops dead right in the dorm?" Now, at the age of 64, my 69 year old friend just married a 45 year old woman, and I accused him of being a pedophile.

@stanton327 ?? what the F* does this have to do with jimmie rogers - honeycomb???

[stanton327]

Did you have ruin my nostalgia tsunami by noting that your grandparents loved this song?

[rockinmosquito]

@stanton327 -- If you think that is bad, Ritchie Valens would have turned 70 on May 13. Yep, we are all getting older.

[Cybernetic924]

Me and my other sister would our sister about this song...

[alshouse]

I have to be careful when this song comes on the radio when I'm driving because I'm liable to stop concentrating on my driving.

[cboncklis]

This song has always cheered me up. It came out before I was born but throughout the 60s it played a lot and my dad did love it.

[hackajim]

[cmusice]

jinmmy rodgers became jimmie rodgers..when he moved from the states to UK and reissued all songs and some new ones.... ;-) the girl i used to know... honycomb 2 versions... hard to tell apart but the chiors are different

[nursegaby]

my grndparents luv this song ..i like it 2..its fun.

[glipzik]

I always liked the way he caught his breath when he says "honeycomb." I've noticed he doesn't do that on later recordings of the song. Is there a story there?

[Nocaro]

@glipzik All I know about this recording session was that it was an all-nighter, and Jimmie may have been tiring...Nocaro

[CaptainKeithM]
