You know how you get an "ear worm"?  When a song gets in your head, usually for no reason, and you just keep singing/humming it?  I got the strangest one this A.M...even with an accompanying "mind video"...from the Ed Sullivan Show, don't know who the performer was:
"Oh what a lovely bunch of cocoanuts, there they are all standing in a row. (can't think of next words, but ends with..) Roll a Bowl a ball a penny a pitch"! 
Isn't that a strange ear worm to get?

Down at an English fair one evening I was there
When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair

Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
Thats what the showman said
Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts (theyre lovely)
There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
Thats what the showman said
Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch

Bubble, thanks for the memories!  I remember this song very well--and my sisters and I sang it whenever it came on the radio.

Sue

"I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts", was a big hit in 1949-'50, for Freddy Martin and His Orchestra.  His vocalist at that time was, Merv Griffin.  He was the one who sang the hit song.  After that, lots of singers recorded it, including Danny Kaye.

Tome - Thank you very much! ha ha! I now have it running through my head as well!

The singer in the video was Merv Griffin, creator of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.  He died many years ago.  I think the person on Ed Sullivan's show would have been British, but I have no idea who he was.  I've found myself singing that song often and I'm glad Bubble printed the words because now I'm going to copy and save them for my posterity!  A fun song.

Marilyn, you got in with your answer before I did.  At least we agree.

Mary Ann

Bubble, thanks for the Lyrics!  Maybe now that all the words are there, I can get this out of my head (ear)!

On the Ed Sullivan Show, I'm sure the person performing was British, but I don't have the faintest idea.  Sullivan sure had some interesting people on the Show.

Remember the guy who did "Slowly I Turn"? 

I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts - Billy Cotton Bandshow

This is the version I remember coming out of the 'wireless' (radio) all those years ago.....and.....if I'm not mistaken, the singer was Alan Breeze.

Another song that will get into your head, I've been humming/whistling it for days......now perhaps you will too......


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-r0ngPEHkg

Now what was that song I wanted to post, I knew it a minute ago, been singin' it all day, it's on the tip of my tongue, oooh I'm startin' to get vexed with myself, I was locking the front door, then I drew the curtains in the front room, then the phone rang with some damn scammer talkin' gibberish........ooooh what was that song called......

Did anyone read this I wonder?

Greetings Ferocious. Yes, I check out whats doing here to, but rarely post. My music tastes these days are mostly to classical (well, that has be like, always) and jazz.

Memory Lane: I remember the Mills Brothers on the Ed Sullivan Show.  I remember the popular big bands like Duke Ellington, Les & Larry Elgart, and of course, Glenn Miller, along with singers Ella Fitzgerald, Pearl Bailey, and Dinah Shore.  I am not much for big bands these days. I remember the big debate we had during recess one day in 4th grade over who was the better singer, Elvis Presley or Perry Como; I voted for Perry Como. I remember the singing cowboys like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Tex Ritter. My favorite Country and Western singer growing up was Marty Robbins, who, I just found out, was also a NASCAR Racing driver with six top-10 finishes. I wasn't watching NASCAR back then. Frankie Laine is also a favorite. Other memorables: The Harmonicats, Burl Ives, Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, Henry Mancini. Well, I can see that I am getting carried away so I had better stop here.

Memorable Mancini. It is hard to pick just one.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-00gGM3V0Q


Here is Roy Rogers with The Sons of the Pioneers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amDo-KqUjpA

Marty Robins version of Ghost Riders in the Sky, one of my favorite Western songs (in fact, I have at least three versions of it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1xSYyMDaq4

Flatt and Scruggs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmU6wELS4sc

Help, help! I am stuck in country music memory lane.

Thank you MarsGal

I enjoyed all of your postings, as I'm sure many others did too. Please keep posting your music, then perhaps others will too.....

My son went to the big city last week to see this guy. Son is very much into jazz and visits some of the local jazz clubs.

Nice one Rammel 

Rick - I enjoyed the Freddy Cole video and song.  If you close your eyes while listening, he sounds a lot like the late, Nat "King" Cole. I wonder if they're related?
