ID this song

I never heard the song; I only heard someone describe it to me. It opens with the sound of a buzzing fly, then a “smack” noise, then a female saying “Did you get him?”, then a guy replying, “No, but I will”. I believe the song was from the fifties or sixties. Ring a bell?

Shoo Fly Pie? :slight_smile:

No buzzing flies in the versions that I’ve heard.

Nothing? Come on…

If you don’t get an answer here, try asking on the usenet newsgroup rec.music.dementia.

Did the lyrics/music start after the spoken words? You say 50’s, 60’s, which makes me think do-wop. There were a ton of no-hit-wonder groups, some of which went for comedy in their songs. One comes to mind…I had to dig this out of my vault…ROACHES by the COURT JESTERS.

Bass voice: ‘Don’t leave your food on the table!’
Falsetto voice: Why, honey, why?’
Bass: …because of those roaches…

And the rest of the group joins in for classic do-wop harmony.
The worst part, for you, is that it’s going to turn out to be so obscure, maybe a flip side of another obscure record, that you’ll never get an answer. If you ever come up with a title or artist, I can cross reference it for you. Good luck.

You may be on to something. When my friend described it, he said “Did you get him?” in a falsetto and “No, but I will” in a deep voice. Thanks…I’ll keep after it.
