Woolie Bully, anyone? →[More:]The kid loves it and I can't find the cd it's on. Does anyone have a copy they could YSI to me? I'll be your best friend forever.

If I was at home I could. I even have a version in Spanish as well. Maybe later.

Thanks, jonmc. If you think about it, I'd really appreciate it. She'd totally dig the Spanish version, too.

I have a frightening Mexican version of "Hang On Sloopy," too. Rock and Roll really went full on global back in the day.

The swimming pool of my youth had a jukebox in the snackbar. The thing to do was play Woolie Bully, and time it to your turn on the high dive and then spazz out and flop off the board when he says "watch it, now, watch it!"

Found a Chipmunks version:

The scary version of 'sloopy,' I mentioned?

Remember the "Bodges? We don't need no steenkin' bodges!" dude in Treasure Of The Sierra Madre singing it. Or maybe Eli Wallach (a man seemingly incapable of playing his own ethnicity) in The Magnificent Seven.

agro, that would be perfect, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I just get the quicktime symbol with a question mark over it.

I just can't imagine a scary version of Sloopy. Eli Wallach and Rita Moreno were the only "ethnics" of any kind for many years, jon.

perhaps, but Eli rarely portrayed New York Jews. He was always playing Mexican bandits and Sicilian mobsters.

I got it, jrossi, and it's soooo worth it. So thanks to Agropyron for a unique musical experience in an easily accessible form. ;-)

That would be Alphonso Bedoya, I believe.

Oh thank you, thank you, thank you both, agro and MGL. You've blissed out a four year old. She has asked if she could write a thank you note. I told her I'd transcribe. Here it is:

Thank you for giving me that song. I like the singing otters.

Awesome, lil rossi.

FYI, rossi, to download a direct link to an MP3 just right click and "save as".

My ripper is out of comission, so I don't have "Wooly Bully' available, but as promised here's the scary curiosity:
