I was looking at Billboard's Top Ten past hits that were listed by year.?ÿ 1959 saw one in particular that was titled "The Happy Organ"...(Cue Bevis. Heh-he, he said organ!).?ÿ I couldn't believe I didn't remember something with a name like that.
Then I listened to it.?ÿ I not only remember it, but we had a local daytime TV show that used it for their lead-in music.?ÿ I guess I just never knew its name.

Far out man. I can dig it.
Actually when I saw your post I immediately thought of this song when I saw "happy". I've always enjoyed piano, especially in rock bands. ie: Free Bird, November Rain etc....

Like, take care dude. ?????ÿ

When I listened to your link just know I was reminded of another pie-annie tune "Music Box Dancer". When I looked it up on YouTube I was surprised to see it was the same composer/ artist. Small world indeed. 😉
That was his big hit in the late '70's. I was working in South Fl and had to go to a business dinner at the Flagler museum in Palm Beach. It was a black tie deal and the pianist (some dudette thumpin' on a pee-aner) played the song below. She didn't have orchestral accompaniment but it was really nice without. Another Frank Mills song some people won't enjoy.

famous musicians and aircraft seem to be a bad mixture.
One of these versions may be memorable

"Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey feet
Chopped-up baby parakeet
French fried eyeball floating in a pool of blood
And I forgot my spoon!"

"Great green gobs of grimy greasy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat, dirty little birdies' feet
Great green gobs of grimy greasy gopher guts
And I forgot my spoon!
So they gave me a ham sandwich with boogers on top
Monkey vomit and camel snot
Parakeet eye balls dipped in doo.
Yummy Yummy Yummy its good for you.
What for dinner? Horse manure
where'd you find it? In the sewer"

"Boys are made of greasy grimy gopher guts,
Chopped up parakeet, mutilated monkey meat,
French fried eyeballs rolling down a dirty street
Aren't you glad you brought your spoon?"

"Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts;
Chopped up parakeet, mutilated monkey meat;
Chinese eyeballs rolling down the dirty street;
All served up with one smashed coon;
And here I am, regretfully, without my plate and spoon."

That's what we eat at school"

Notes "In the early 1980's, this is the version I heard from my older brother and a couple of his friends at Community Church of Norco, Ca. As you can tell, it has obviously suffered from transmission, but, that is how I remember one of its verses. In fact, before I stumbled upon your site, I never knew this was a real song at all: I thought my brother had made it up!"
"Greasy grimy gopher guts
marinated monkey meat
vulture vomit at my feet
And I forgot my spoon!"
