[meetredmeat]

x3 it's so catchy! The lyrics are adorable in a really odd, unexplainable way. Thank you so much for uploading this!

I reckon this is the funniest and best version, although Louis Armstrong did a good job too. But he missed the rhytm section like Marius had.

"Golden Wonder, they're jungle fresh". That advert was my introduction to this song.

My grandfather, Frederick Murray Barley, played with this band in the 30's. Does anyone have any photographs of them I wonder, or know of any relatives/descendants o f Frederick?

This song is great, I also sang it in my choir.

looks like al bolley

For some reason, I love this version - perhaps because it's so 'British'. None of the singers makes any attempt to sing in anything but a BBC RP accent, a light Noel Coward-esque tenor. It also helps that the quality of the recording is excellent for the period. Those boys could swing!

Some genius has removed the version by Anacani. Somebody else put it up on YouTube please.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

Kostgian, thanks for your comments. I agree....Perez Prado is very good with this piece. Xavier Cugat does a fine version of it too.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

For the BEST version of this find "Anacani" and "The Peanut Vendor" on YouTube...it's by FAR the best I've heard...and she's a knock out too.

[kostgian]

i understg the love for anacani...really its stunning.and i love her me too so much...but for this specialy song the best version by far is perez prado,s one.......

For some people: El Manisero (The Peanut Vendor) music and lirics by Moises Simon Rodriguez, born in Cuba. Rita Montaner was first singer. My colection is now 665 versions: from spanish to japanese, chinese, etc.

Wow, this song is much older than I though.

I've heard this in Spanish. Is the original English or Spanish? (being a Rumba I'm prone to think it comes from Latin-America). Do we know who composed it originally?

Thanks for the upload.

Terrific version of this excellent Rumba. I had this record as a young boy but it broke. Thank you so much for bringing back memories of my childhood.
