As promised, here's the entire 1966 Kiddie Au Go-Go album by the one and only Mod Moppets. Nursery Rhymes with the Teen Dance Beat of Today! it says, and that about sums it up.
I posted a couple of these before, but I've replaced those with freshly-edited files that probably sound a little bit better. Anyway, I love this album, and I received some Mod Moppets fan mail from others who love it, and so how could I not post this mod-sterpiece? (Though, when was the cha-cha ever mod? Or the Hokey-Pokey? That's what I want to know!)
From 1966, some of the funnest stuff ever recorded:
Alley Cat Dance, The Mod Moppets, 1966.
Old MacDonald (The Frug), The Mod Moppets, 1966.
Row, Row, Row Your Boat (The Swim), The Mod Moppets, 1966.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (The Jerk), The Mod Moppets, 1966.
The Hokey Pokey, The Mod Moppets, 1966.
The Farmer in the Dell (The Shake), The Mod Moppets, 1966.
On Top of Old Smokey (The Monkey), The Mod Moppets, 1966.
Mexican Hat Dance, The Mod Moppets, 1966.
A Tisket, A Tasket (The Watusi), The Mod Moppets, 1966.
Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be, The Mod Moppets, 1966.
Enjoy! (And I'll be testing these tracks to make sure they all download correctly.)

These are awesome! I also have to tell you that I really enjoyed the Christmas music you provided. My mom remembered so very many of them and she was delighted to listen to something different other than the usual Christmas repertoire.
Love the blog.
Thanks,
Tracy
Tracy,
My pleasure! Yes, we try to keep things a little different around here. Glad your mom enjoyed the Xmas fare.
The Moppets are (er, were) the Beatles of kiddie rock!

Alexandra,
Unfortunately, the links are no more--I have to de-link files periodically to stay within storage site bandwidth. I keep them up as long as I can.
However, I am planning to recycle the MMs after Halloween in a new post. Stay tuned! They were a huge hit.
