Joe, you were only 2 years old when you started reading and playing the phonograph!!!! we lived in student housing in Riverside Love, M0m

I asked because I kept going around singing “Joseph, Joseph” and realized that it was from THAT RECORD.

Now I’ll have even MORE of it stuck in my head!

e

LOL!

Yay for earworms!

I’ve been trying to track this record down, off and on for a long time. Thanks for putting a recording on your site.

There were other songs about birthdays and stuff weren’t there?

Anyway just wanted to send you a thumbs up… that broughtback some memories… Thanks again.

Hi Jimi –

You’re welcome!

I think there must have been many different names that were done by that company and then branded with Captain Kangaroo’s name. Pity there’s not more of them online. Fun stuff.

My family played these records at every birthday party and we all sang along, we still do. Wish I could find them for my own children. Any idea where to get them? II know all of the lyrics by heart. Remember “r-e-d- spells. red, b-e-d spells bed, r-e-d and b-e-d means there’s a little red bed”

Really, if anyone knows where to get these, I’d really like to know.

I wish I knew Nancy, but I really don’t.

Oh my gosh, Nancy — I still have my old record, and we have the same name, so I’d be happy to burn it to mp3 for you. It’s not the same as for your own kids’ names, but they’d at least be able to hear the songs with your name in it. Joseph, thank you SO much for posting your name song; I was trying to teach it to a friend for her little girl, and this made it so much easier for me to send it to her! -Nancy

Thanks! Yes, if it’s the same company I’d be happy to take a recording and post it!
