Let’s Subtract

These are drills to help you learn how to subtract, but I think the makers of this album took the word “drill” way too seriously. This teaches subtraction tables with a lady singing over the same four bars of music over and over and OVER except for a small bit at the beginning and the end of each side. I see this being used less for learning subtraction and more for torturing roommates or coercing information from enemy spies. I will not be held responsible as to how you use it!

Here’s the track list (such as it is):

1. Instruction and Participation: Ones
2. Twos
3. Threes
4. Fours
5. Fives
6. Sixes
7. Sevens
8. Eights
9. Nines
10. Practice and Testing: Ones
11. Twos
12. Threes
13. Fours

Romper Room Birthday Party

Now this is the Romper Room stuff that I remember better, combined with another one of those Birthday Party themed albums that were all over the place. I don’t know about you, but those are some pretty scary looking kids on the cover! The songs aren’t really split up, so this is just split into Side 1 and Side 2. The zip file also includes the back cover, which had lyrics for some of the songs. Enjoy, and Happy Birthday wherever you are!

Paul Lynde: Recently Released

I remember Paul Lynde most from Hollywood Squares (the original one) and his role as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched. He was also in one of those Frankie and Annette Beach Party movies. I knew he did quite a bit on Broadway as well. What I didn’t know about him was that he did stand-up too! (At least I guess you’d call this stand-up–he does little character bits in front of an audience.) Anyway, it’s some pretty funny stuff, and I hope you like it too!

Here’s the track list:

1. The Trip of the Month
2. The Family Just Across the Moat
3. A Few Odd Odes
4. The Monster Stalks
5. Phlegm Falls Drama Club
6. Let’s Be Frank

Let’s Play School – The Rocking Horse Players and Orchestra

This album is supposedly by the Rocking Horse Players and Orchestra ,but it’s really one of those albums that you know they patched together from other albums from other times (possibly even other decades). That lady sure hit the high notes on the Star-Spangled Banner though. If I played that as a kid it probably would have made my dog’s ears explode!

According to the back cover “The Rocking Horse Players and Orchestra have written and produced hundreds of happy records for young folks to provide them with hours and hours of ‘fun-a-plenty'”. Hope you have “fun-a-plenty” with this one!

Here’s the track list:

1. The Little Red Schoolhouse
2. The Counting Song
3. The Alphabet Song
4. The Good Habit Song
5. Frere Jacques
6. The Pledge of Allegiance
7. The Star Spangled Banner
8. Round and Round the Village
9. All Around the Mulberry Bush
10. Did You Ever See a Lassie?
11. The Farmer in the Dell
12. Old MacDonald Had a Farm
13. Here We Go Looby-Loo
14. She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain
15. Pop Goes the Weasel

Father Guido Sarducci – Live at St. Douglas Convent

I’ve been looking for this one for a while, and finally found it last weekend. With the Pope making a trip to the U.S., I figured this would be worth bumping ahead in the currently scheduled albums. There’s some great bits on here (I especially like the Five Minute University since I’m taking classes right now). Enjoy!

Smurfs Party Side

Here’s another great Smurfs album from Jon. More fun songs about little blue guys. I’m not exactly sure what album this is because I haven’t found this combination of songs on any one album. If any of you can figure out which album this is for sure (and verify the song title on #11) I’d appreciate it!

NOTE: This file is a .rar file, so you need a program like WinRAR to unzip it.

Here’s the track list:

1. Gargamel and the Smurfs
2. Purple Peter From Mars
3. The Hiccup Smurf
4. Smurfette
5. Smurf Party
6. Lullaby

10. Lazy’s Song
11. Smurf the Day (?)
12. Laughing Smurfs

The Wizard of Oz and Other Favorite Children’s Stories – The Rocking Horse Orchestra and Chorus

This has probably one of the shortest versions of “The Wizard of Oz” that I’ve ever encountered (besides this one). I seem to remember a couple of these songs from another album I had (and lost) when I was a kid that was much newer than this one, especially the King Midas and Aladdin ones. This has got some fun stories and catchy tunes on it, so I hope you like it!

Here’s the track list:

1. The Wizard of Oz
2. Rumpelstiltskin
3. Aladdin
4. The Further Adventures of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
5. King Midas
6. The Adventures of Simple Simon

Here’s your Otis G. Firefly zodiac for Apr. 5-Jun. 5: Eerie the Monster. As a kid this probably would have been my favorite one to get, but alas, I was born in December under the sign of…well, you’ll see!
