Most of the above songs are very familiar. Now I have a song that I have been trying to find the lyrics to for months. My mother (91 years old) used to sing it to my sons. I don’t know all the lyrics and would love any help anyone can give. If it is at all familiar, please send anything you know to me at esbock [at] juno [dot] com It is a song made up of product names from the 1920’s and starts, “Oh Castoria cures the measles It is the best in town.” Much further along is something about Purina and “Watch Lillian Russell wrestle with a pack of…..” Thanks for any help you can give.

That’s really funny, madpony. The atchi catchi liberatchi part was something we used to tack onto songs when we were your age, 30+ years ago! I guess kids just keep adding on new stuff as they go, which is what makes it fun and interesting.

In the north Bronx in the thirties(ouch) we called it Russian 7. It was strictly a girls game. Throwing the ball against the wall, clapping, throwing it in the air , many variations, each 7 times.

A real popular song that wasn’t supposed to be funny or silly but wound up being those things was Puff the Magic Dragon. It was supposed to mean something, but I’m still trying to figure that out. Maybe if someone played it backwards?
