Pachalafaka (original 1958 version) - Henry Mancini & Earl Brown

Not Soupy Sales, not The Muppets, but the great original version of this Jerkish Turkish refrain "Pachalafaka," which first appeared in a satirical 1958 album from the brand new Warner Brothers label called "Terribly Sophisticated Songs: A Collection Of Unpopular Songs For Popular People."

Shortly before he moved over to RCA and skyrocketed to fame with his music score for the "Peter Gunn" television series, Henry Mancini conducted this compilation of tongue-in-cheek arrangements inspired by the sweet bands of the 1930s and 40s, with creative songwriter Irving Taylor providing all the lyrics. Earl Brown was one of several vocalists who were featured on the album's tracks.
