This is the song version that started it all. Lots of folks have covered Cement Mixer, but nobody comes even close to the original. Enjoy!

  • I love this song...thanks!!! =))))

  • this song is awesome!

  • Cot Campbell in the Navy in 1946 is going home, and ships out on a nondescript vessel sailing from San Francisco to New Orleans.

    The "captain" is a horror - unqualified - but somehow they got there in one piece.

    And all the way, this "captain" plays this record 1,000 times.

    Cot never again could listen to this song.

  • @7855waldo pretty good either way! LOL.

  • @903davesharonpoky - By now you must be sober. Song sound any better?

  • I am drunk

  • siphiwaye tshabalala is my brother

  • A-vout-o-rooney! Bourbon-o-rooney!

  • Slim was a dear friend of my parents. He was an unbelievable musician. There was nothing the man couldn't play. I remember him coming to the house when I was 7, picking up my toy guitar (plastic body and strings) and cranking away on it! He could play a cow bell like it had range and could read a menu and turn it into a song (as he did on "Yiprock").

    AT one of the World's Fairs, a 45 was put in a time capsule with Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" on one side and "Cement Mixer" on the other.

  • This record, Slim's only hit, peaked at #21 on the charts the week of May 25, 1946.
