When Red used to come out of the normal sets from his program onto a stage, he'd smile and the music would begin and the live audience would start to clap and then Red Buttons would begin the song, sometimes with new, timely, lyrics and you could see he really loved it. He was a sweet ham, who had a very successful career.
NO Money and the Government is spending Trillions, the Banks hord billions and won't lend a dime, Wall Street is broken but "if there is no decline the market will go higher, ". The Depression is doing a rerun: Go out now and buy a GM SUV! STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING! A tribute to Red Buttons, a haunting, timeless song I heard at age 9! IN 1952 it was, INVADERS FROM MARS, GIANT ANTS AND A FORBIDDEN PLANET--HERE WE GO AGAIN..a Trillion Dollars! Thanks Red.
It's sad that Red Buttons would sometimes walk onstage cupping his ear and skipping to the rhythm in his head of this song some 30 and 40 years later when a whole new generation was clueless to the reference. My grandma had a 78 player as well and would let me hear her collection. This was a jewal among many. thanks for the post
Nice piece of nostalgia!

I remember this song was a question on the Art Fleming version of "Jeopardy" one time. The contestant answered, "Sid Caesar." She was wrong.

I have this on a 45 RPM and used to watch his show with my family. Those were the good years.
