  • LOL. Phil Harris did a lot of voice over work for years, he was a band leader on Jack Benny's show.

  • I remember this song as a kid when Phil Harris sang this in the 1951 WWII movie, "The Wild Blue Yonder". It always made me laugh! He was a real big personality and his music reflected that. I always felt that he really enjoyed himself. This is very much a '50's fun song!

  • @lafde44

    Believe or not..I have an aunt who was crazy about Arthur Godfrey at the time and I knew of his version of this song first..

    Thanks for the memory

  • I was born in 1946 and this was a real fun childhood song, for me, in the 1950's. Thanks for re-producing it in such a brilliant way !!! Puts a hop, skip and a jump into my tired old body. :-)

  • I found this one on Pandora... brilliant thing, it is. And this song is a lot of fun. Thanks for posting it!

  • OK...so I was on FB and my niece posted: I challenge you!

    1) Find out the song that was #1 the week you were born.

    2) Find that song on YouTube.

    3) Post that video on your wall without shame.

    LOL...THIS WAS MY SONG!!! I thought oh boy...what a dud...but then I played your version... and I LOVED IT!!! Great work!

  • @Kain456 Is it an original one?

  • Ooooh! I discovered an Andy Dick right before my eyes!

  • @TheRebelion009 it is

  • This song was used as the theme of the campy 1960's children show: "Archie and friends" produced in Canada.... It was used by a sock puppet character named "Marvin The Mouse".....and I do have fond memories of watching that show as a child.....

  • Easy..The box contains 20 kilos of Cocaine marked "Property of the Zetas"...that's why he's singing about it, he's completely high, In fact the song was originally called "Never get high...(Off the Zeta's Supply)"
