about

The iddy biddy big time polka band is a new arrival in record albums. For it presents not only music for listening, which is what we generally do with albums, but it marks the first time that the entire music repertoire consists of songs that invite you to sing along. Chucknee takes great pleasure in presenting this long-playing record which will be the hit of your party. If you're inclined to hold parties, or even attend them, you will find that this collection of songs will invite everyone to sing, a sure fire way to break the ice at even the most formal affair.
Everyone knows, and almost all can remember, how much fun it can be when the gang gets together to sing a batch of songs. Almost everytime, there are certain songs that always pop up because everyone seems to remember all the words. On some you sing the melody and on certain others, you remember all the harmony, and regardless, you have a grand time just opening up and singing. In this recording, you will find just such a list of songs. These were hand picked by experts on the basis of common knowledge of lyrics. Each tune is what is called in the music business an "evergreen", one that everybody knows and will never die out of popularity.
