Perhaps someone here might know this old song I'm trying to find. Its 1950s funny song and the father is singing about his son. Who is just a out of control brat! who de railed the train and he has a gun and he is only a little kid Its American Its a comedy song . And I'm sure its 1950s. I thought it was called "thats my boy" But I seem to be wrong about the name. Not much to go on is it guys !!! Someone here might remember this song??? I want it for a video I'm making. Thanks pete

Stan Freberg 1951! Thanks G! Ive been looking for it for hours and I thought you might know and I was right ! You did thanks. Im a music fan and I have records dating from 1940s -1980s. Over 5000 and 20 years of buying records. I could'nt remember the name or Artist of that song and it driving me nuts .I even sent a email out to some of the Radio stations , 2CH etc etc. Thank G Very funny old song and what a charmer he must of been.

As a kid, my next door neighbour's parents had loads of comical LPs, including those by Freberg, Allan Sherman, Victor Borge and Tom Lehrer, and we'd play them all. The song that always takes me back to those days is this one which got a ton of radio airplay (volume warning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jjiWS__Mp0

During the 50s and 60s it was a real trend happening for funny songs. Watch Bobby Pickets face when he sings this song in 1962 Just watch is face throughout the song https://youtu.be/vNuVifA7DSU Pete

I like the comment: "this what I look like following my wife around the mall and she has to stop in every shop" When it comes to radio, we could go on: One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater Witch Doctor

One of my favourites from slightly later was:from Jerry Reed - Pete you might appreciate this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyqe8n-pbqQ And of course the others he did, such as Lord Mr Ford and When you're hot you're hot.

Yeah, well being a "bitter, twisted fool" is not a recipe for longevity, as Jerry Reed has amply demonstrated, God rest his soul......
