The Friday Mixtape: 4/9/10

By -

As you know if you follow my quasi-weekly column “Way Out Wednesday,” I also run a blog called “Way Out Junk.” (It is, in fact, what got me the Popdose gig in the first place.) For the column I do here, I focus on an album featured on my blog. However, there are some albums that I didn’t write about here for one reason or another, usually because I either couldn’t think of anything interesting to say or there were only a couple of songs I especially liked on the record in question. So for my first Friday Mixtape, I give these unsung albums (unsung for here anyway) a chance to shine. I also included a few songs from more recent entries. Clicking on the album will lead you to its corresponding entry on my blog. Enjoy!

Annette and the Beach Boys – The Monkey’s Uncle from Annette
Teevee Toons Master Mix – Jane, Get Me Off This Crazy Thing! (Prime Time Radio Mix) from Jane, Get Me Off This Crazy Thing!
The Wellingtons – Scarecrow from Mickey and His Friends

Muppets – I Want a Monster to Be My Friend from Sesame Street Monsters
The Rolling Headstones – Chick a Boom from Groovie Goolies Rarities
Art Carney – Song of the Sewer from It’s Honeymooners Time
Connie Zimet – Goldflaker from James Blonde – The Man from T.A.N.T.E.
David Seville, the Chipmunks and the Jimmy Joyce Singers – Me Too (Ho Ho Ha Ha) from The Chipmunks Sing with Children
Mister Moose – When Ping Pong Balls Are Falling from Captain Kangaroo and His Friends Sing Songs of the Treasure House
Bozo the Clown – The Marine’s Hymn from Bozo and the Big Top Circus Parade
Mighty Mouse – Mighty Mouse Theme from TV Jamboree
Yum Yum Kids – Mad Dogs and Englishmen from Down in Jungle Town
The Square Song from The Square Song
Bob McGrath – Muskrat Love from Bob Sings!

    I'm scared to click on any of these, because I know they'll be in my head for the rest of the night.

    Tony, I adore your series, and I'm happy to see this Mixtape!

    “Monkey's Uncle” is one of my personal faves — because it is a true Beach Boys track, more than an Annette track.

    But I agree with Jason. I'm very scared of the rest of this mix.

    I had those Captain Kangaroo and Bozo albums as a kid, and “When Ping Pong Balls Are Falling” crosse dmy mind as recently as this year. Thanks for the reconnection!

    That's one patriotic Bozo. Bozo for President!

    Something seems to be wrong with Annette and the Beach Boys. I get about thirty seconds in and it stops..

    Your computer may be loading a bit slow. When you click on “Audio mp3″, go ahead and click on the double quotes. That'll give it time to load in all the way. Then click on the right arrow and hopefully that should work for you!
