Teresa Brewer - 3 novelty songs for children - Choo'n Gum +

Recorded when she was around 18, on the London label 1949-1950. She was always good for fun songs.

1) Choo'n Gum - #17 1950
2) Molasses, Molasses
3) Punky Punkin - About a Hallowe'en pumpkin.

Teresa started quite young. She successfully married at age 17. Started recording and had a number 1 hit at age 18 (Music Music Music). Was on the London label 1949-1951, then on Coral 1952 to 1962. Her first release on Coral was "Sing Sing Sing". The second had a song named "Lovin' Machine" which I'd like to find, doesn't it sound interesting. The third was "Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now".

How many of the viewers are mothers playing it for children? How old are the children?

Yes she is very good for fun songs, my favorite of this kind is the semihit from 1958 "pickle up a doodle", but what to say abour their romantic songs, I like their wonderful rendition of an italian song of 1957, that she sang in 1959:"heavenly lover". She was a complete artist.

Besides Heavenly Lover, in that period were "The One Rose" and "Peace Of Mind", 3 beautiful ballads from after her peak which might be overlooked. She made sure to include them on her "My Golden Favorites" hits LP, and she always tried to say that she preferred her ballads over novelties like Skinnie Minnie. These 3 ballads, along with her 3 1963 songs on Philips, are unforgettable.

I'm 25, I just stumbled across this video clip. I never heard of Teresa Brewer. I love this song, Thank goodness for the internet. I'm a music fanataic so I love discovering different artists and sounds. I've been playing this all day. I'm searching for an Mp3 of it.

When I was about 4 years old my mother bought this song, Molasses, and played it for me, about 1953. This is the first time I heard it since then! Thanks for posting!

We used to sing Molasses Molasses in choir as a fun warmup, and I never knew it was an actual song from this long ago! Who could have guessed? :)

Dean Martin did this one. Maria Muldaur also. My grandkids blow the doors of our minivan when we play this via mp3 through the car stereo.

I am playing for my 2-year old. He likes it :)

I've actually never heard a recorded version of Choo'n Gum before this,my familiarity with it stems from hearing my dad sing and play it for us on guitar when I was a kid.Today I was reading an obit for Vic Mizzy(the composer of the themes for The Addams Family and Green Acres)and they mentioned he co-wrote this tune as well which jogged my memory,It's probably been 30 years since I even thought about the song.When I googled it,your vid came up so thanks for the post and RIP Vic Mizzy
