A Memory For Kids Of The 60's ---- LOL

[lor]

The other day my husband put together an old stereo system. It has a turntable & you can put in CDs or tapes. He wanted to see how well the turntable sounded, so put on an old album of his. --it was made in 1964 --Snoopy and the Red Baron. We laughed & sang along. Remember?

After the turn of the century
in the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thounder men had never heard
Like the sreamin' sound of a big war bird

Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron Von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the contryside

Ten, Tenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Blood Red Baron of Germany

In the nick of time a hero arose
A funny-lookin' dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down "Curses Foiled Again"

Now Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He chalenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughin', he got him in his sight

That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spin'n out of site


by The Royal Gaurdsmen ...LOL

Do any of you remember that?

[joy]

Oh yes I remember like it was yesterday Lorraine. Thanks for the memories.

Sorry, I can't recall it, but my younger cousin must have been inspired by it and Snoopy. He'd wear a dry T-shirt or towel around his neck while water skiing & then try to blitz the rest of us. He usually won.

I remember it really well. I remember seeing them (The Royal Guardsmen) at The Red Rooster in Indiana, Pa. back in the late '60's; with my sisters & cousins. One of the members of the band made all the sound effects himself with his mouth (machine gun & airplane sounds). The sounds were so real.
Now, the only time I hear it is around Christmas time on the radio. Thanks for the memories.

I don't recall that song but I have some record albums dating back to the 1950s. When I was a kid, records were on 78 rpm discs and the really old ones had grooves only on one side.

And then there were the 45s. That was what you collected when I was a teenager. I had 45s of lots of Elvis records. I should have hung onto them.

I remember it! And our radio station plays it every Christmas, because it is a Christmas song. (the verse goes on to sing about Christmas bells ringing throughout the land). What a fun memory!

You hear it lots of places at Xmas time. Radio, backgruond music in a store or such. A few days after my husband played it, I heard it on the radio. The "DJs" were talking & laughing then together sang that "Ten, Twenty, Thirty, Fourty, Fifty or more".
