Ah, the good old days, when a silly ditty about a puppy can captivate the masses.

"Ah, the good old days, when a silly ditty about a puppy can captivate the masses."

Or "a one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater." Or Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans."

Three of my other favorites are: "Come On-A-My House" by Rosemary Clooney, "Pajama Games" "Hernando's Hideaway" by Archie Bleyer, and "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" by The Four Lads.

I was 6 months old when it was recorded . Growing up in the 50’s / early 60’s in eastern CT was heaven compared to today , especially in my hometown . Remember that scene in Back To The Future when Marty first arrives in his hometown . The adult theater in future is showing a wholesome family movie , now homeless on the park benches , etc...?
