Thank you. for posting! I was 5 or 6 when I used to ask my Aunt Alba to play this. It was played on a 1953 Zenith combo TV radio and record player. I gave the cabinet to my daughter. I love the voice that sounded like Peter Lori. "I saw this eye, so I removed the other eye." Great memories. My Old Flame, Thank you Aunt Alba (-:

Love Paul Frees. Does anyone know where that mad scientist caricature of Peter Lorre started? Was it Looney Tunes or Brave Little Toaster (just kidding) or somewhere else?
-
Quoted from IMDB: "Spike Jones had a hit record with his wacky cover version of "My Old Flame" with voice actor Paul Frees doing a (Peter) Lorre impression for the vocal. When Lorre appeared on Jones' radio show he had to learn the "Paul Frees" way of being Peter Lorre, as Peter himself was not quite the madman that Paul had made him out to be."
One of my favorite Spike Jones pieces.

"I'll have to look through my collection of human heads."
The Peter Lorre skit always cracks me up. "It's driving me sane." Fantastic!

I have not heard this for so many years. Spike truly was a treasure.

The Pep Boys sponsored the Phillies for years. I have seen matchbook ads from the 30's for Philly area Pep Boys.
Doesn't anyone remember the Pep Boys references in old 3 Stooges films? Larry Fine was from Philly. Moe, Shemp and Curly from New York City, IIRC. Maybe Jersey.
"PIP Boys Cleaners, Larry Moe and Shemp"

I live in New York and I've known that Manny, Moe and Jack were the Pep Boys for many years. In fact, there's a Pep Boys not too far from me.

@smurfswacker I worked for them for awhile in York, PA . They are a nationwide chain, I never knew where they originated
-
Yep - they were in Pennsylvania too - in fact, they're actually a Philadelphia-based company.

@daughterrevolution Thank you!

@CHEECHMUN It's Peter Lorre, not Lori.

Does anyone outside California know that "Manny, Moe, and Jack" were the "Pep Boys," owners of a chain of California auto supply stores? Though the Boys are long gone, their caricatures still grace Pep Boys stores. I love Paul Frees!

I certainly didn't know! I was wondering about that though, as I was recording.
Thank for the info.
