This is another kind of country music which is the corny vaudevillian, but still country. I mean the country audience would eat this stuff up. The Korn Kobblers and you know, there’s a whole bunch of bands that did corny music.

Eventually lead to Spike Jones. It’s one of the roots of Spike Jones, but when corny is good it’s good. This is really good! This is like cheap vaudeville tricks and it’s live in a classroom. There’s all these little kids sitting around or some kind of music, you know. Honest real kids. Thirties depression kids, you know. Little Rascals types.

But anyway, it’s hillbilly vaudeville. This song is “Goofus” which is a pop song. The hillbillies are not immune to pop songs. It doesn’t have to all be Barbara Allen! You know, fortunately.
