This thread for posting relatively obscure songs or instrumentals, and lesser known versions of popular pieces.
The Beach Boys covered this song, very nearly identical to this (I believe the original) version.
Note that it was written by songwriting brothers Joe and Noel Sherman, not the same Shermans (Richard and Robert) who wrote so many of Disney's most well known songs for many musical movies.

Now that song somehow reminded me of this one a little:

Mary Martin died in 1990, yet, barring a nuclear war or asteroid strike, due to recording, her voice will live forever. Those who performed before the invention of audio recording are lost forever (unless time travel is invented). There was a famous singer of the 1800's, whose name escapes me, that performed before kings and audiences around the world, but we will never know what he sounds like.

The ticker-tape machine bit the dust long ago. The phonograph record, both cylindrical and flat, have been superseded by digital audio. The incandescent lamp is fading fast. The carbon telephone transmitter has been replaced by the electret mics. Even movie film no longer must be carried to theaters, because film projectors have been replaced by digital ones. However, the Edison-base lamp socket seems to be holding on. It's kind of sad that out of everything he invented, the lowly lamp socket is the only thing not outmoded. Click to enlarge. Click Back to return. When my sister's HOA clubhouse replaced all their lighting with LEDs—inside and out—I got a bunch of porcelain mogul sockets from the 10-year-old mercury-vapor luminaires used in the parking lot. When I was a kid, we had a floor lamp that used a mogul-based lamp, the only such fixture I ever saw in a lifetime. I don't know what I will do with them, because you would have to buy a fairly high-wattage incandescent lamp to fit them. An LED retrofit lamp would probably cost a "nominal leg." And certainly the low draw of an LED lamp means that the mogul base, which supports high power, would no longer be warranted.
