I'm looking for the one I remember from my childhood in the late 70s early 80s. It's not the Harry Belafonte one as that's too slow. The bits I do remember had the sound of footsteps in one bit as the bloke singing went into a music booth thing as he was too loud I think. Does anyone have any idea of what I'm on about? I also see that Raffi did it but I listened to a quick sound bite and that doesn't sound quite right either although I suppose it could be him.

Mr G has just remembered it had the song about a piano being taken up the stairs, and Oh Goodness Gracious me about the woman who went to the doctors and her heart went boom boom de boom etc.

    I found the LP on e-bay, which doesn't help as I think I already have that ? Sure it was an LP rather than a tape I used to have. Ah it takes me back ?

    I've got a version of it with Harry Belafonte and the Muppets, it's hilarious! I can email it to you if you want

    I've got this album on vinyl- it's fab! Most of the songs are available on I-Tunes. The only ones I'm missing are Two Little Boys, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf and My Brother.

    Love it!
