Just before my 5th birthday, in '67, we took the train out to California. My parents took me to Disneyland.

So...imagine after that, for a 5 year old, everything is Disneyland this and Disneyland that.

Well I had gotten this record, while there.

I grew up listening to my parent’s copies of “Songs by Tom Lehrer” and Dave Brubeck’s “Time Out featuring Take Five.” I don’t have the Tom Lehrer album, but I definitely have copies of Brubeck.

I heard this on some TV program when I was about five years old and I was captivated. Okay, I was a weird kid but I love it to this day.

I was absolutely nuts for this song as a little kid. It doesn’t do much for me anymore, though. I mention it because nobody else will.
