Wow, I've been wondering what this song was for years! On a side note, when your class sings this in elementary school music class with free reign to put in what you want, having a 3 syllable name is not good.

my father said when this song was new..
so many people called in to the radio stations and wrote letters that the radio station actually ran a contest as to try and guess what was in the box..
they did it to see who had the most creative ideas..
my father said some of the responses people gave were hysterical..

This song was #1 back in late 1950 and it was a classic. I got the US release on a 78 which I got at a junk store today. It's in excellent shape and the sound quality looks perfect depends on a diamond needle playing on my GE Wildcat. No hisses. The flipside to that is "Goofus".

LOL! I listened to this tune carefully twice.

On the second listen, I imagined the "thing" (boom, boom, boom) was a pile of shit.

In this aspect, I nearly split my ribs laughing as the story unfolded.

In fact, it was so funny, I broke all of my furniture (I"m a big guy).

No, I just use a cheap handheld Kodak camera with built-in mic.
The machine itself is an HMV 202 Re-entrant, which were the best sounding internal horn acoustic machine ever made, so the sound quality is very good.
It sounds much better in person than recorded to video.
