From Gary Lucas’sFacebook page again another gem . . . do we need to have a conversation about children’s playground songs arhyming songs and chants like Iko Iko!? Mockingbird! I think we do!
Red Saunders & His Orchestra - Hambone (Okeh) 1963
Gary notes: "This hit, originally released on Okeh in 1952, and featured prominently in the early 60's on SANDY BECKER's TV show in NYC, was arranged by the young Sonny Blount a/k/a Sun Ra”
If that diamond ring don’t shine Papa gonna buy take it to the five and dime . . . HAMBONE!
