"Ole? That's dumb."

Gosh, I love this song. My mom used to play it in the car when I was a kid.

I cut the end off. I was listening to Dr. demento back in the 1970's and he mentioned the only store to sell the 45. I bought two!

Nicely done. I remember that song well, from the old Dr. Demento Radio Show. An old favorite.

Back in 1974 the Doc mentioned my name a couple of times. I lived in Los Angeles near KMET. I actually have it recorded! He turned me on to the only place that sold a limited release of that 45 rpm recorded!

The flip side has the song "Chula Vista"

this was my favorite song when I was a kid. I used to listen to Dr. Demento all the time when he was linked to a station in Dekalb IL

i went to school with one of their sons-they gave me some 45's- we used to beat on their gear.

At the end of the song, the guy says "OLE? THAT'S DUMB."

Ole fits right in!  Since when did this ssong make sense?

As it so happens, I have a video of that performance...I taped the Cincinnati Pops Halloween concert because I was working that night. I'm not sure how I could get it transferred over to digital mode so that it could be posted. Perhaps the Cincinnati Pops has a DVD of it for sale or even PBS, as that's where it was aired?

Have you ever found a copy of that performance? I've been looking for a long time for videos of that concert.

I first heard this one in 1996 when the 1995 International Quartet Champions Marquis performed in the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra's Halloween Concert. Sadly, their Lead died a year later.
