'Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellenbogen by the Sea'

[TheLaughxD]

i'm 11 and i'm learning this song at school :D and we all like it cos its just so cheesy that its fun :DD

[Heva1987]

I remember this being on a taped played to me when I was young, but can't remember the name of it, has Ernie the milkmen and runaway train and pink tooth brush.... <3 thanks for upload.

[bonniebaby1997]

this song reminds me of my time at barton hall. a great school trip that is unfrogettable. and also my tripe out with my family to the black country museum. we couldnt stop singint is after :D

[jsidiropoulou]

was surprised to find I knew all the words to this song and I surely have not heard it for at least 35yrs!

[59DAVEMAC]

@jsidiropoulou Hope it brought back happy memories for you,

[8269bett]

this song is always sang down wales in the club for the kids its quiet amusing :)

[pjvenner]

I'm 41 now & the 1st time I heard this song it was by Pinky & Perky... Just like Cinderella Rockafella. I love both tunes now. Those lil piggies ROCK!

[ilovebagpuss2008]

brill song 

[27lme]

I love this song I went to a party and we did a karaoke and we sang this song

[27lme]

Hehe my kid is singing it all day

[kiityemly]

I used to think I was the epitomy of hilarious by changing it to: Gilly gilly ossenpfeffer DOGSenella bogen by the tea....and then inserting random animal names. How I annoyed my sister.

[59DAVEMAC]

@kiityemly You naughty thing you! bet it was fun lol!

[ShamrocksGetYouHigh]

Do children listen to these songs anymore? Wow its these songs I remember from being a kid, none of the chart stuff that was out.

[59DAVEMAC]

@ShamrocksGetYouHigh I do hope kids still listen to these songs. I have had lots of young people comment saying they like them. Young people like yourself, getting there children or nephew/niece to listen.

You are to young to remember "Children's Favourites" on the radio Saturday mornings, where I as a child heard these songs.

Thank You for watching. Where in Ireland are you?

I was a truck driver in England, and been to Belfast & Larne a couple of times.

Dave..

[ShamrocksGetYouHigh]

[59DAVEMAC]

@bonniebaby1997 Thats great. Have you seen my other children's songs?

[bonniebaby1997]

@59DAVEMAC ive listened to the runaway train and i do like to be beside the seaside. we sung that when we was going to the beach for the day! :D i love them!! im going to look at some more though

[dawn2163]

perhaps growing up with this music has influenced us later in life to love laugh and be a little less angry and intolerant and perhaps we should demand it be brought back to influence the asbos of today wonderful memories of childhood thank you

[59DAVEMAC]

@dawn2163 Thank You for your comment. What a "Good Idea Son" lol. It works for me..Hope you enjoyed some of my other video's.

Best Wishes to you Dave..

[dangerlifetime2]

nice song! great song

[Conny11121]

Brilliant! Was actually watching a link in an email for Ken Dodd and I got to thinking about other 'Good' songs from my early years. This sprung to mind and its like I am back to my youth.

Thank you so much. Will be spending the night looking for more memories now.

[59DAVEMAC]

@Conny11121 Your Welcome!

I have put alot of Children songs on video, which I used to listen to on the radio when I was a child. Do you remember " Childrens Favourites" on a Saturday with Uncle Mac?. Glad you enjoyed it, I enjoyed making them.

Gilly Gilly" Is number 2 in the most watched, number 1 is Kathy Kirby singing Secret Love.

The young man in the video is my Son,

Best regards Dave

[Debify]

thank you so much for posting this I can now introduce my grandchildren to the joyous songs we had as children

[59DAVEMAC]

@Debify You are Welcome.

This is why I posted these songs, so in some small way they will live on. It would be so sad if they are completely forgotten.

Best Regards Dave

[lambiecat]

[mrlegomaster22]

[59DAVEMAC]

@verint55 You are Welcome

[Jenny25513]

Wonderful childhood memories thank you

[59DAVEMAC]

@Jenny25513 Thank you for watching. So glad it brought back memories, our childhoods were so full of fun. We did so much, summers were always Sunny. And with 3d we were rich! We were so happy with any treat no matter how small.

Listen to Uncle Mac on Saturday Childrens Favourites.

Dave

[nixelles]

Was only looking for the Pink Toothbrush and found this - lovely memories and even made me blub.

Thanks for posting it Dave.

[59DAVEMAC]

@nixelles I am so glad it brought back lovely memories for you.

[florrietrotter]

I grew up singing this as 'gilly gilly hossenfeffer casa bela nova by the sea. xx

[Legobro234]

Who's that guy in 2:22?

[59DAVEMAC]

@Legobro234 The words if you listen "Thats a good idea SON". It is my Son..

[MyMatt63]

Thanks Dave, life was great then. The ABC Minors, races round the block, back garden concerts, football in the street with no cars, Front doors open ( we had nothing to steal) treats of fruit and pan sugar, the intermission on T.V. Old Meg singing your a pink toothbrush and sailor, constant sunshine, holes in my trousers. Cripes, I'm a grumpy old man!. Wouldn't trade the memories, kids today are cossetted, wrapped in cotton wool, let them have a childhood like us and skin their knees.

[minioutlaw1]

Omg. My Nan & Mother use to sing this too me when I was a baby. How shameful lol.

[59DAVEMAC]

@minioutlaw1 G'Day! Maybe shameful now , but what lovely memoirs this song will bring you in the years to come. Please do not forget them, learn the songs and you too can sing them to your children one day.

Best Wishes to you

Dave..

ps My sister lives near Perth West Australia. I did to from 1968 till 1975..

[minioutlaw1]

@59DAVEMAC - Perth is where my Nan lives and that's where they use to always sing it haha :|

[59DAVEMAC]

@minioutlaw1 WoW! Did your Mother see this video?

[minioutlaw1]

@59DAVEMAC Not yet. :)

[MyMatt63]

Ace, the years melted!

[59DAVEMAC]

@MyMatt63 Great! It's so nice that they do melt back to Happy Days when we were young.

Dave

[Triumph9909]

[weeyin1155]

A trip down memory lane! Fantastic upload. Thanks to you and to Annie48200 who shared. Stars and hugs. ☺

[annie482000]

@weeyin1155

It brings back memories for me too...............I used to hear it a lot when I was little.

[9215]

When I was a kid I used to listen to this song on a cassette tape album of Max and sing along and dance for hours on end. Thanks for putting this up! Does anyone know what album had this song on it as well as the toothbrush song and sandman and chip chopper charlie?

[59DAVEMAC]

Hi 9215,

Glad you liked the video. I bought the cd 3 cd's called "Hello Children Everywhere" vol 2. Way back in the 50's & 60's as children we would listen to the radio, on Saturday's there was a programme for children. Children's Choice, hosted by Uncle Mac... Ask at any good record shop.

Best Regards Dave...

[sineadey1990]

@59DAVEMAC I used to have "Hello Children everywhere on tape when i was little......... im just about to turn 20, but these songs are timeless!!!! i used to love them :) still know all the words haha!!!! XD

[59DAVEMAC]

@sineadey1990 Thanks, Glad you liked the video. They are on CD now, from Amazon....

Dave..

[sineadey1990]

@59DAVEMAC i might just have to go buy it... no idea where my tape went! cheers :)

[astrasbeatu1]

i love this song, im 30 and my grandpa who just passed away used to sing this to me. brings back a lot of wonderful memories. R.I.P. grandpa.

[59DAVEMAC]

Memories are so important, glad this helped bring them back for you. Cherish those memories.

Best wishes Dave..

[sirlagerlot]

Awesome! Love this song. THANKS

[Gillyla]

[cassidy322]

Memories of my childhood

[kayreive]

this is my favourite childhood song...thank you so...

[piketamer]

i dont belive this

i came on youtube this evening to look for two songs, i found both and uploaded by the same person?

dave you got me crying again.

awsome a well deserved 5 stars :)

[chlobo9302]

Ahhhh I remember when Constable Keith and Sniff sung this song on the Road Safety Singalong tape in NZ! Ahhh good times!!!

[iMacmatician]

OMG WOW I listened to that tape when I was a little kid 10 years ago (at least I think it's that tape)!!

Anyone have a list of the songs on that tape?

[chlobo9302]

yeah i do! :D

[MegaSuperShark]

i got that cd

[ballcocksbaby]

oh! what wonderful memories, come flooding back, Saturday mornings and Uncle Mac's Childrens favourites..Thankyou for sharing these videos..x

[yeahMemphisJoe171]

i'm sorry, but i really don't get it.

katzenellenbogen = cat elbow.

wtf? xD

[RosebudliasCabochons]

@yeahMemphisJoe171 ... It's a song recorded by Max Bygraves .. which means nothing but encapsulates the spirit of the age (zeitgeist). Times were different then. It was made around 1954 so any young person today just wouldn't understand. :)

[Pembo362]

@RosebudliasCabochons i'm 19 and both me and my sister LOVE this song. we had a tape filled with old songs such as this, i'm a blue toothbrush and the typewriter song (LOL just remebering). we used to act out the robin hood song too. doesn't matter when it was made if you grow up with something its nostalgic to u no matter what your age.

[RosebudliasCabochons]

:) It's funny how this was given a negative response because I had no negative intent when I wrote my comments.

And yes, you are right Pembo326, growing up with this and other songs is important regardless of your age. It's because I am so much older that it meant something special to me because it was my era :) xx

[59DAVEMAC]

Thank You Sophie,

I have an Uncle living in Harlow! wow!

Glad you enjoyed the song, have seen the others I do have i'm a Blue Toothbrush.

Thank You again Dave..

[FlyingWoolf]
