05 Jan 01 - 05:51 AM (#368967) Subject: AKA "Temptation" From: Steve Parkes ... as in "I wanna hear 'Temptation'!" on "Cigareets and Whusky", also by Red Ingle. I know the words to the actual song "Temptation", but I could never work out all the made up bits like "Now, tell me will ya darlin'/Why ya look so bad tonight?/There's rings around yer eyeballs ..." and "Like the Serpent tempted Adam ...". BTW, if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry -- but you've missed out on a bostin' piece of work. Steve |
05 Jan 01 - 07:43 AM (#368990) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle From: wes.w Wasn't this the flip side to 'Cigarees...' ? or perhaps 'Serutan Yob'. I think I might have an old 78 somewhere in the attic. I'll dig this weekend. |
05 Jan 01 - 09:10 AM (#369020) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle From: Steve Parkes I'm sure it was "Serutan Yob" (a take-off of "Nature's Boy", if anyone's wondering -- as recorded by Nat King Cole, for one). I think "Chloe" ("Song of the Swamp") was on the back of "Cigareets ..". I've got a straight version of "Chloe", and it sounds like a send-up anyway! |

Intro: Resin on the bow and here we go...pffffft!
Oh, tell me will you darlin'
Well, it was this a-way!
You came, I was alone

And as Corn Liquor temps a Drunkard
You came when I wuz alone
It'd be thrillin'

05 Jan 01 - 09:27 PM (#369436) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle From: Joe Offer Well!!!I have to say that I'm most upset that no credit was given to the female vocalist who did most of the singing on this recording. It was the usually-beautiful voice of Jo Stafford. Later on, Stafford occasionally sang comedy songs with her husband Paul Weston, using the names Jonathan and Darlene Edwards. I don't know if she's still alive. She certainly had one heck of a versatile voice. -Joe Offer- |

06 Jan 01 - 10:04 PM (#370110) Subject: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle & Jo Stafford From: Joe Offer I got an e-mail from Gene, admitting that the primary vocalist on this recording was: [JO STAFFORD] as CINDERELLA G. STUMPJo, my jo, justice has been done. As far as I can determine, Jo Stafford is alive and well, and 80 years old. -Joe- |
08 Jan 01 - 08:07 AM (#370784) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle From: wes.w Thanks for lyrics Gene. I'm afraid my 'English' English made it impossible for me to catch the 'American' English lyrics for Steve off my scratchy 78 (played on a wind-up).
BTW.. the flip of this was "Mr Mozarts Turkey Trot". ..wes |

Remember "Shrimp Boats"? And I think it was she on Spike Jones' condensed rend(er)ing of "Carmen". Thanks a lot, Gene: now I can die happy! Steve |
09 Jan 01 - 07:16 PM (#371841) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle From: GUEST,Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Yes, the other side of the 'Cigareets and Whisky' 78 rpm (they don't make 'em like that any more), was 'Serutan Yob'. I've been looking out for a CD copy of Spike Jones's brilliant output which includes 'I Went to Your Wedding'. For some reason, all the CDs I've seen contain loads of wonderful manic music, but not 'I Went to your Wedding'. Though the basic ingredients are in the 'Laughing Record', my own feeling is that 'I Went to Your Wedding' is more natural - as in The Natural Seven, I suppose. Shoh slaynt, Bobby Bob |

I found a Spike Jones - Greatest Hits (click) album that has the cut. Is is a parody of the Patti Page song? -Joe Offer- |
10 Jan 01 - 09:19 AM (#372126) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tim-tay-shun by Red Ingle From: Steve Parkes I've got Patti Page's "Wedding" too. It's hard to listen to it without expecting her to snigger all the time. |
