CRANKY YANKEE Tune Req: Mockin'bird Hill (34) RE: Tune Req: Mockin'bird Hill 23 Jun 03


Here's a little factual tidbit about "Mockingbird Hill"

The Dining Sisters recorded it in 1951 It was a big hit, on all the juke boxes because they added a little yodel after each chorus that went,

"Tweede-ly dee dee, F--- you
Tweedely dee dee hoo ha
tweedle dee, tweedle dee, tweedle dee
Tweede-ly dee dee, F--- you
tweede=ly dee dee hoo ha
tweedle dum tweedle do tweedle you"

Everyone thought, "It couldn't be, what we're hearing, they wouldn't dare"
But they did, or so I've been led to believe.
I heard it on the Juke box at the Port of embarcation "rec" room on Treasure Island (San Francisco) when I was on my way to Korea
