Speaking of Lawrence Welk, here's an old hunk of shellac with a sound much more typical of what we expect from his TV orchestra.
Rocky Rockwell was a trumpet player in the Welk band, and appeared as a regular on the TV show from 1950 to 1962, often providing vocals on novelty or light-hearted tunes.
The origins of 'Good Morning, Mr. Zip, Zip, Zip' are as a morale-raising popular song during World War I, written in 1918.
Over the years (and with slightly altered lyrics) it was familiar to many as a campfire song, or Boy Scouts hiking song.
Just like 'Camels', the 'Fatimas' lyric refers to a brand of cigarettes.
