If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake Eileen Barton

[PickleSea]

The perfect song to do a burlesque routine to ^_^

[thomasojii31]

A nice "Jive."

[LinChannel]

this song is from the week when my mommy was born :) so cute

[ivorlottandtonybroke]

This is a brilliant song for speed-walking! Always reminds me of walking along South Road in Wick and speeding up because I knew I was reaching my destination - at least until the next day when there was another 17 miles to John o'Groats.

[RamiMiguez]

she didn't baked a cake to 11 people

[Ieatedurhamster]

Perfect burlesque song

[hatpearson]

if i new you were comin i would have moved! x

[shilo39]

Remeber my Mum singing this on a Sunday while she was baking (It was in the 50s) Thanks for the memory.

[behappyproductions]

i may be cynical, but i can sense some sarcasm.

[noseyATbirth]

8 people are just bitter no-one would consider baking a cake for THEM.

[sk8apunkgirl]

me and mah dad r makin a cake whilst listening to this DAD STOP SINGING :O

[xxleannebabyxx]

fab!

[ThruADiffEye]

I heard this as a kid in the 70s as well. I have it on my iPod for a few years now and I enjoy it everytime I hear it! Great job posting it for others to hear!

[fromthesidelines]

On his radio show, at the time this became a hit in the spring of 1950, Henry Morgan read the lyrics (with cast member Minerva Pious) in a deadpan manner. Quite funny!

[sploopidy]

I don't care who old this song is or how dead this lady is. this song has fuckin rhythm. Love it! :D

[teamedward340]

love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

[Denetsu]

8 people came too late.

[GarthanSaal444]

I'm 43. Deep in the fog of my memory of 1973, my mom played this on the stereo after ordering it from one of those tv commercials. Well, this song wasn't ancient back then, and I've never heard it since, anywhere, not even being made fun of. It's like it's been totally forgotten!

[SgtRock57]

If I knew you were coming I'd have left the State, sold my house, bought some snakes,

[Swallowthebird]

Same Time, Next Year...

[MoodyClues]

My kids love dancing around the living room to this. It's just a happy song!

[EffLabels]

For some reason i want to put this with pornography playing

[TophBeiFong2]

This is terrible...

[ABurningCanoe]

Oh my god......

[bgggbb]

My friends and I used to sing this hammered after my buddy had a visit with Grandma. She had this playing and we sing it every time we get shloppy!!

[bumm1963]

[heathyn]

Thumbs up if this song makes you happy :D

[calihartley2010]

@RAZINSKI Wow you really are quite cheeky for a 17 year old. Please grow up.

[HowardSingleton]

@calihartley2010 fuck off wanker go and jump off a building you oxygen thief. OLD CUNT

[calihartley2010]

@HowardSingleton Wow for a 23 year old you still act like a juvenile delinquent. Grow up mister, or you will be a guest of the queen very soon. You know what I mean? I am sure you do not.

[zigzagwigby]

If I knew you were coming I'd've called the police

called the police

called the police

If I knew you were coming I'd've called the police

Coz you're a creep, you're a creep, you're a creep... !!

[LightningLeah]

[marlenb1943]

@Ladyspock No we didn't, and so happy we didn't.We could enjoy songs like this without have to look at all the rude remarks on here by morons !!

[EatPeople4Fun1]

[tenseman08]

[sparwood8]

@tenseman08 Well here is how much we have fallen in the past 60 years. In 1950, an asshole comment like yours would have never shown up on a forum like this one. Perverts were held in contempt

[tenseman08]

@sparwood8 mhh..indeed my good man

[sparwood8]

@tenseman08 Good honest response.

[ebutuoytm]

@tenseman08

LOL...

[DevilsSwag]

lawrville made this song popular again.

[paulakatkins]

Brilliant, was thinking of my Mom who died just over a year ago, looked at another video, PARC Peyia Animal Rescue Club, Paphos, Cyprus, and this was a suggestion. It was one of my Mom's favourite songs! strange eh!

[RevoltDynasty]

Who makes the remix of this?! Its awesome and I can't find it ANYWHERE

[duxante]

@RevoltDynasty Me too! :( If you find it pls response! Tnx!

[FmMan33]

[silverose1209]

My dad used to sing this song all the time.. I didn't really know it was a real song. :)

[HedeenJeff]

@silverose1209 lol, thats funny.

[Lashedin87]

I know that my partner Lee LOVES this song, he is always singing it and practically wets himself when someone sings it to him!

[flirtyraver]

[TVkingOmega]

[JaneEyreNut]

Is it strange that I'm 16 and love songs like this. All the golden oldies that my Granny would of listened too...

[GreatOldSongs]

@JaneEyreNut SNAP... im almost 16 and i love stuff like this. Its not strange i think everyone likes this sort of music, but dont like to admit it. 

[TippyTippyTay]

@JaneEyreNut Naw, not strange at all.

[tchatchka]

If I knew you were coming I'd have faked an ache.......

[0Maggitha0]

"Oh, I don't know where you can from cause I really don't care!!!!"

[mistywaterfalls14]

lol I heard this song on the radio one night...and I thought to myself after I gotten over the shock....Oh my gawrsh..this is my theme song..so now I have everyone in my house singing it..

[gusgorilla76]

I was not brought here by the Greggs Ad! Actually I heard the song a few months ago on BBC's "Doctors", thought it was brilliant, and decided to do a little research. Maybe the song sounds awful to our modern ears, but at least it's clean - don't dirty it.

[xEasyPx]

if i knew you were coming a would have shaved myself, shaved myself, shaved myself :D

[belladeballe]

@xEasyPx LOL

[writingdance]

and for all you starry-eyed nostalgists, a reminder about how awful the past could really be....

[marlenb1943]

@writingdance No,a reminder of how awful the autotuned crap that passes for music is these days!!

[BoroKyle]

[ajay999999]

@BoroKyle Just dont tell Susan Boyle.
