Seven little girls sittin' in the back seat
Huggin and a'kissin with Fred
I said, why don't one of you come up and sit beside me
And this is what the seven girls said
Huggin and a'kissin with Fred
I said, why don't one of you come up and sit beside me
And this is what the seven girls said
(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep you mind on your drivin')
(Keep you hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)

Paul Evans
In 1959 this was one of many popular novelty songs. I call them silly songs because they make me smile. Of course the song is longer than that. You can find it on YouTube if you want the whole thing.
Those were the beginning days of early morning television offering news and entertainment. Dave Garroway was the host. Frank Blair was the newsman.
They had a chimpanzee mascot names J. Fred Muggs. J. Fred Muggs did all manner of amusing skits.
Once Paul Evans appeared on the entertainment part of the show. He was sitting in a car. The seven little girls were all in the backseat. At the end of the song the camera showed J. Fred Muggs in the middle of the girls.
I wonder why I have such a vivid memory of this. But it does make me smile.
When I was a kid and I went to English tutoring,
ReplyDeletethey taught us this song!
So you brought back a lot of memories.
Thank you so much Emma!!
You are very welcome. Silly songs are my passion.
DeleteThis was fun sharing dear Emma 🥰
ReplyDeleteLike your part of land,here too had such light and fun songs mostly played on radio. Such songs were only to make people feel good and bright with light rhythmic poetry
I loved them
A song that spreads happiness is a good song.
DeleteThat is a good song, Emma, and I recently heard it played on a segment of the Pat Boone Hour on Sirius Radio. Now I will look online to see the singer, so thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. It is a feel-good song.
DeleteDo you remember the Beep Beep song too? It's another fun novelty tune.
ReplyDeleteHey buddy how do you get this car out of second gear? I love how the song starts at a normal pace and each stanza is faster.
DeleteAlso called The Little Nash Rambler Song 😀 and let's not forget the Hot Rod Lincoln song!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to have become a novelty son staple. Sung first by Charlie Ryan it was also popular by Johnny Bond then by Commander Cody. Jim Varney even recorded it. I think his version was used in The Beverly Hillbillies movie.
