Wow, pure cheezy goodness. Wikki Wikki Woo may be the dumbest example ever of the "Stranded In The Jungle" genre. Dumb but, you know, good.
yeah man i really do love this good old dumb stuff greatly.... the dumber the better, not sure what that says about me....

Richard, It was a pop hit as "Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda (Here I am at Camp Grenada)" For Allen Sherman, but I think the tune is something classical.
It is "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" by Allen Sherman.
"Here I am, in Camp Granada"
Cheers.
yep you guys got it!
Wikki Wikki Woo is beyond fabulous. I wanna know where the finks found their love juice! ;-)
Also, does anyone know when this was recorded?
i have no idea about teh actual date, but if i had to guess i'd say 1964....???
great stuff.
the classical piece that lends its melody here is ponchielli's "dance of the hours."
I would like to exchange links with your site devildick.blogspot.com
Is this possible?
My father is the lead guitarist for bothe songs and one of the vocalists. His name is Danny Antell :)
