Audio fragment of this record in the Audioquarium

I first heard their "Take me out to the ball game" on a Demento Society CD, and immediately wrote for a tape, because their hand music is very funny indeed. Maybe a bit childish, but then, isn't most novelty? Only 7 out of the 15 tracks on this tape are hand music (marked * in the track list below), the others are what they call "distinctive interpretations of 30's swing music". I'm afraid the Palm Springs Yacht Club won't be remembered because of these,

but their hand music stuff really is hilarious! Their "Sabre Dance" is THE funniest version of that tune I ever heard, and "Stars & Stripes Forever" will get you up and rolling all over the floor, that's for sure! I tried to immitate these rather obscene sounds, but immediatley realised that it really takes practice and genius. Unfortunately, their plans to release a CD full of hand music were cancelled because lack of success. So, BUY this tape!
