You've heard chipmunks singing Christmas songs. You've heard dogs singing Jingle Bells. You've seen entire albums featuring dogs, cats or cows. You've heard reindeer sing. Even snowmen. But I'm guessing you've never heard whales! Whales with tubas no less! If this doesn't take the cake, I don't know what will. This is The Whales Featuring Rathbone And His Tuba-The Chipmunk Song b/w If It Doesn't Snow On Christmas (Cenpro 7" 45 RPM 45001, Stereo, 1975). If this isn't the strangest animal you've ever heard sing Christmas carols, you'd better leave me a comment and prove it!
Thinking about it, when did those recording of whale songs become popular? I remember getting a National Geographic when I was a wee tyke, and there was a flexidisc in there with whale songs on it. Later on there were whole records devoted to such recordings, I wonder if this was part of that whole fad? Looks like this record preceded the National Geographic one. So much for my theory...
