Jim Dixon 1950s novelty songs (266* d) Lyr Add: THERE'S A NEW SOUND (Tony Burrello) 09 Aug 16


This has been mentioned a few times in this thread, but with the wrong title.

This song can be heard on Spotify and YouTube. It consists of only this one verse, repeated several times, sung in a near monotone, but modulated upwards each time, interspersed by Chipmunk-like vocal sounds, representing, I suppose, the sound of worms.

THERE'S A NEW SOUND
As recorded by Tony Burrello, 1953.

There's a new sound, the newest sound around,
The strangest sound that you have ever heard.
Not like a wild boar or a jungle lion's roar,
It isn't like the cry of any bird.
But there's a new sound; it's deep down in the ground,
And ev'ryone who listens to it squirms,
Because this new sound, so deep down in the ground,
Is the sound that's made by worms.
