HereÁ¢€â„¢s an interesting little album from 1958 featuring Little Johnny Everything and his sister Judy Everything who, with a name like that, must be doing quite well for themselves.
The first selection is called Á¢€Å“I Wish I Had aÁ¢€ and itÁ¢€â„¢s about Johnny and Judy imagining being in a parade and the instruments they would like to play:

Next we have Á¢€Å“Felix the Cat,Á¢€ but itÁ¢€â„¢s not the theme song that we all know. In fact, IÁ¢€â„¢m not even sure that theyÁ¢€â„¢re even talking about the cartoon character here, although he does do some pretty fanciful things.

Since we put a cat song on here, letÁ¢€â„¢s give equal time to the dogs. HereÁ¢€â„¢s a song about a dog named Mr. McGee. Now who the heck would name a dog Á¢€Å“Mr. McGeeÁ¢€?

Á¢€Å“The Bicycle Tricycle SongÁ¢€ is about Judy riding her bicycle and Johnny riding his tricycle (but looking forward to the day that he could ride a bicycle too).

I put this next one on there because itÁ¢€â„¢s one that you might be familiar with. ItÁ¢€â„¢s called Á¢€Å“My, How YouÁ¢€â„¢ve Grown,Á¢€ and if you watched Á¢€Å“Captain KangarooÁ¢€ in the ’60s and early ’70s as I did, youÁ¢€â„¢ll probably recognize this song that was performed many times by puppets on the show.

This last one, Á¢€Å“The Little Brown Bunny,Á¢€ I put on here because it sort of creeps me out. ItÁ¢€â„¢s supposed to be an Easter song, but the thought of a large brown bunny with a bright pink nose breaking into my house while IÁ¢€â„¢m asleep gives me the jibblies, no matter how intentioned he might be.

This is just a small sample of the songs on this album. If youÁ¢€â„¢d like to hear more from Johnny and Judy Everything, you can hear the whole thing here!
I apologize again for the rush job on this. I’m scheduled to do my thesis for my Master’s Degree next week, so I’m a bit distracted. Don’t worry, I’ll try to get next week’s installment ready before I start my paper on Monday! Wish me luck!!
