  • Cowabonga!! Great stuff - thanks for posting this song!

  • I think this clip could win me an Oscar for best short subject. Best soundtrack is in the bag...

  • Interesting. You can hear how elaborate the music for even the simplest of lyrics was years ago. Love the orchestra. Is that an old 45?

  • It's a 78 RPM...

  • Everyone needs to get over the Racist thing, Everything in the '50's was Racist and things are still Racist today, in 50 years we'll be saying Racist to many things we don't think about today.

  • Cowabonga is-

    A.An Ooragnak indian expression

    B.A surfing term

    C.A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles battlecry

    If you answered A,you saw Howdy Doody when you were a kid

    If you answered B,you saw beach movies when you were a kid

    If you answered C,you're still a kid

  • That's the Chief himself [Bill LeCornec] performing Edward Kean's unforgettable song; Kean, who just passed away a few days ago (shortly after Mitch Miller himself), wrote virtually all of the "Howdy Doody" scripts and songs from 1948 through '55.

  • Haha, so damn racist.

  • Looks like a old christmas card from jim reeves.

  • Wow, how racist.

  • cowabunga, dude

  • How old is that record!?!?!?!?!?! The sleeve is all torn and tattered! I can't believe that record still works!!!

  • They're probably STILL at the drive-in! (see my comment immediately below)
