R. O. pre-K.

Here’s a completely goofy song that I just can’t stop listening to. Every time I put it on, I have to listen to it at least two or three times in a row, no matter how much my wife complains! The Trashmen were a 60’s surf rock band based in Minneapolis, over a thousand miles from the nearest ocean. This is actually a mash-up of two songs by a doo-wop group called The Rivingtons; “Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow” and “The Bird’s the Word”. Years later Big Bird would end up doing his own cover of this song.
