[103056mhg]

To Victrolaman - I would truly love to own this record as it has become my "holy grail" to my collection. If interested in selling, contact me @516-361-3989.

@103056mhg This is one of my all time favorite's as well. Unfortunately this is the only copy of the Victor version that I have in my possession. Should I happen to acquire a duplicate I would consider it. In the meantime "Happy Hunting", and thanks for watching.

This tune was on the Lawrence Welk live show from 11-30-1968 or early 1969.

It is the only show where that number is done on the production stage by Jack Imel, Bobby Burgess, and Sandy and Sally.

Jack Imel begins the number by saying and asking Larry Hooper So You're King Of The Road eh? what is the idea of selling us this piece of junk?

Show is still very rare after 6 years that I have had the video now.

My grandpap syas those old cars were junk

I'm the only one of my friends who really likes this song. I first heard it this weekend when I went to the memorial for The Granite Mine disaster of June 8th, 1917 where 168 men died. Nobody respects the classics anymore

According to record historian Jim Walsh, Murray was a car enthusiast, to put it mildly.  He must have had a ball recording this.

When he says his daughter is "Hungry for love" that indicates she likes to swallow.

Recorded on November 14, 1913.

Thanks for the post! I just heard this in the background (instruments only) during a new documentary on PBS called "The National Parks: America's Best Idea".

Can't believe it sparked the chorus lyrics in my head, which lead me here. 5 stars

wow! Time warp. I'm actually trying to find the version that Betty Grable sung. Anyone know if it's on Youtube?

[Mondafied]

Hahaha. I came here because I saw the documentary:

"Horatio's Drive: America's first road trip"

This song is great. However, I can see how it can be "risque".

[YMark1966]

Very cool... and a pretty Sonora phonograph as well!

[wps1977]

Spectacular!

Thanks for posting.

This song really shows how, even in 1913, cars had become a part of the popular imagination.

@wps1977 "Even in 1913?" Domestic production was probably close to 500,000 by then.
