Week 53 - Oddities, globetrotting

We’re doing a bit of globetrotting this week. Leroy Anderson, the spawn of Swedish immigrant parents to the US, churned out classics like Sleigh Ride, Blue Tango, Lazy Moon and dozens of others. Here he shows off his skills with the typewriter. Then there’s that first single released by Rhino, a forever appealing song of advice.

'Go to Rhino Records' EP - Wild Man Fisher.

While were in the US might as well check out Brooklyn with Matteo before watching the morning glory of Deutschland and then there’s those English boys. A bit of friendly advice from Donna Lynn (Capitol, 1964) to you girls out there. Don’t let your boyfriend get a beatle haircut cause you might be in for a bit of heavy competition then:
My boyfriend got a beatle haircut / Oh unhappy day / My boyfriend got a beatle haircut / Now I can't chase the girls away / Once he was mine all mine alone / We'd talk all day on the telephone / Now we can't his phone is busy / All the girls keep asking where is he.
