This song popped into the head of my 92-year-old mother, so we looked for it on Youtube. She knows she was lucky to have lived in some great decades, like the 1940s and 1950s.

Cement Mixer (Put-ti Put-ti), vocal by Rocky Coluccio

Wow, this was quite a popular tune in the 40s, it turns out. A whole bunch of versions in '46 alone. From what I understand, the Slim Gaillard version is the original, given he's credited as the writer with Lee Ricks, who worked a lot with Cab Calloway. This aren't even all of the versions I found!

Yeah it's 20 euros on discogs plus delivery and £50 on ebay give or take Tangerine Peel - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Vinyl, Japan, 1970) Zu verkaufen | Discogs
Shipping is the same price again! I think there was a stereo version kicking around too but I don't see any for sale. I do want it, to be fair. You know there's a particular version of this song that'll set you back around £3,000...!

Sadly, I'm at a point where £50 is quite a significant investment for me, but perhaps I'll be able to swing it in the next few weeks if it's still up there.

Haha I can believe it unfortunately. I have a family member who is a very passionate vinyl collector and some of his collection and the deals he does are quite eye watering at times. Good luck and when you get it upload a video of it playing to youtube

....it means that we are discerning, it means we aren't weak and that we are brave. This was a good choice for Us Old Irenaeus :)
Exactly. And that we begin 2022 with our DNA and consciences in tact. (Aside from whatever damage we've been subjected to by pollution, emfs, GMOs, etc.)

I love that, "our DNA and consciences intact". It is so good that we all keep each other's spirits lifted and we stay strong and true to ourselves :)
