Here are a few:
- Them Bones (Dry Bones)--Waring's Pennsylvanians (1947)
I learned to sing this at an early age from a a 78 rpm record. After the record broke, I never heard this version again until adulthood.
- A-Tisket, A-Tasket--Chick Webb & His Orchestra (with Ella Fitzgerald) (1938)
Another song I learned as a child--even though the Peck and the Truck, mid-30's dance crazes, had gone out of style.
- The Middle of the House--Rusty Draper (1956)
This was featured on Captain Kangaroo.
- Two Different Worlds--Don Rondo (1956)
My mother used to like to sing this song as she accompanied herself on the piano.
- Biology--Sue Raney (1960)
I heard this on the radio of our 1958 Edsel Villager station wagon when the song was popular. I wouldn't hear it again until I bought the record about a quarter century later.
- Po' Folks--Bill Anderson (1961)
I heard this in August, 1961 on the radio of our 1958 Edsel--the last day we rode in it before we sold it. Somehow the tune stayed in my head. I didn't hear it again until 2012, when it was played on Willie's Roadhouse on Satellite Radio.

I loved A Tisket a Tasket. Also Down in the Valley, Lavender's Blue Dilly Dilly, and for some reason I always liked The Streets of Laredo.
