Not songs but some great stories with music softly playing in the background are those of Pat O' Malley, The Lacashire Lad, Decca #228. Included are six stories on three 12 inch 78's. Three are stories about Sam Small, a reluctant soldier. The other three, my favorites, are the exploits of 'Erbert Pinwinkle, a young boy who can do nothing right and so is always in trouble. Of those three tales 'Erbert and the Kidnappers is especially good. If you enjoy reciting silly stories these work well. Good luck.
