This, and The Ho Ho Song was a two sided hit for Red Buttons. He used it on his TV show from 1952 to 1955.

  • Nice piece of nostalgia!

  • 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.

  • My parents had this record eons ago and I remember hearing it a lot as a kid.

    Funny stuff. Saw Red do the bit on TV a bunch of times...

    RIP Red..............

  • LOUD AND CLEAR, SIR!!!!!

    (Red's big line in The Longest Day)

  • 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.

  • I had this on a 78rpm as a kid...and I think I still have it! Actually it was my parents.

  • 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.

    STRANGE THINGS ARE still HAPPENING!

  • I have some vinyls and 78's you may be enterested in.

  • 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
