Wishnik Sing-A-Long Party

Boy, there's something out of one of your nightmares, isn't it?

Actually these are Wishniks, one of those fads of the '60s. They were these ugly hard plastic dolls with long hair that you could style or shampoo or pull out or whatever you wanted to do with it. I don't think we had Wishniks growing up. I think we had Trolls, which were sort of a smaller cheaper knockoff of Wishniks. Anyway, here's a record full of Wishnik (or Chipmunk-like) songs, along with some stories presented by Dr. Eric von Newtontootin, the foremost authority on Wishniks. And when they run out of that, there's some generic children's songs to fill out the rest of the album. Enjoy!

Here's the track list:

1. Mommy, Where Is My Wishnik?
2. Mommy, I Found My Wishnik
3. Story of the Wishniks
4. The Wishnik Went Over the Mountain
5. Mary Had a Wishnik
6. Three Tough Wishniks
7. Old Mac Donald Had a Wishnik
8. Mother Goosenik Rhymes
9. Yankee Doodle Dandy
10. Did You Ever See a Wishnik?
11. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
12. Ten Little Indians
13. The Farmer in the Dell
14. When Wishnik Eyes Are Smiling
15. Down in the Valley
16. Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be?
17. I Love a Parade

Bicycle Built for Two - The Bubble Gum Singers and Orchestra

Here's another group I know absolutely nothing about, but I admire the fact that they're not just singing the same kid's songs. They do sound a bit too "white and nerdy" to be singing "The Banana Boat Song" though. They sound like they're enjoying themselves however (especially on "The Erie"). Hope you enjoy it too!


Here's the track list:

1. The Old Brass Wagon
2. My Dream
3. Banana Boat Song
4. Jolly Old Roger
5. The Blacksmith
6. Cockles and Mussels
7. Bicycle Built for Two
8. There Lived a King
9. Clementine
10. Gifts from Over the Sea
11. Mingo Mountain
12. The Erie
13. The Old Grey Mare
