The instrumental group The Piltdown Men was Ed Cobb and Lincoln Mayorga. Both men were involved with the group The Four Preps. In 1960 they recorded the old nursery rhyme `Old MacDonald`and for the flip "Brontosaurus Stomp".
"Brontosaurus Stomp" made it to # 75 on the Billboard charts, helped by the launching of a new cartoon series called the Flintstones .In the UK, "McDonald's Cave" was the A-side, and peaked at # 14. Just at the same time, a second version of "Old MacDonald" hit the British Top 20 - this other version of the farmyard ditty was by Frank Sinatra!
The follow-up was an ambitious choice : Rossini's "William Tell Overture" became the source for "Piltdown Rides Again" and in the UK it peaked at # 14 (again). The third single coupled a Henry Mancini composition, "The Great Impostor" with "Goodnight Mrs. Flintstone". EMI in the UK chose the latter as the A-side and by March 1961, the record sat comfortably in the Top 20, reaching # 18.

Lincoln Mayorga was also "B. Bumble", at least in the studio.

@leyburnhealeyman the 1st record I ever owned was an ep by Elvis, but I can only remember 3 of the 4 tracks - can you help? The 3 I can remember are I Got Stung, Blue Moon and Don't. The first LP I owned was 'The Buddy Holly Story'.
