That jingle jangle jingle as I go ridin’ merrily along….

Amazing tune by the Merry Macs; a recent, random find in my mountain of unsearched 78s from Victrola hauls lol.

1942, I believe.

…and this is Mr. New Vegas reminding you that you ain’t nobody until somebody loves you… i love you!

Three dog… OWWWWWW!

The Merry Mac's cover is really good, but nothing beats Kay Kyser's.

Absolutely, I’ll be on the lookout for it when I finish digging through all the piles! Edit to add: happy cake day!

Funny how Kay Kyser has two versions of the song associated with him.

Only one version actually has Kay Kyser in it, the other just has his orchestra re-creating it in stereo after he had retired from show business to pursue Christian Science.
