Mandy Miller - Nellie The Elephant download song

My grandma sent this to me at 9:30am! I haven't listened to this song since I was like 7 and I am 14 now. It made my day and I am crying!

I wonder if George Martin had a hand in this?

Nice post Bill, and lovely quality too. Thanks.

what a lovley voice so clear so natural

Me too, on the Toy Dolls version, having only heard that. Then last night after Elvis Costello and the Impostors rocked the house we all walked out of the venue to this version. It was perfect, as there were sly references to "Trump" all evening.

up to now i only knew the Toy Dolls' version

I love the song! Now it has a different meaning with a trumpety, trump, trump, trump.

Thank you for this - the original Nellie the Elephant song! My mum bought me this record when I was a very little girl. I loved it then too!!

From Wikipedia: "The rhythm and tempo of this song is often used to teach people the rhythm of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The recommended rate for CPR is 100 chest compressions per minute."

Love this song to bits, I always sing in at sound check, drives the rest of the band mad!!!!

Love it!!! I've been a fan of the Toy Dolls version for many years, and I've only just recently heard the original. It's still the best.

Toy dolls brought me here

Wonderful - haven't heard this in decades. Did ever an orchestra play the part of a dramatic circus, jungle, escape and acheivement? Musical intelligence at its most delightful. This and the Little Engine that Could are signatures of my life. Thanks for the post.

Yay the proper version!

I'm an American, only time I saw Mandy was in The Man in the White Suit - her chewing on a big wad of candy, then breathing out hel-looooo to Alec Guiness in the basement - made me laugh! Is that Charlie Chaplin at 1:27 ?

I also knew the song from the Doy Tolls version, but the original is really cute. Now I even like it more than the cover. Well maybe I am getting old ....

Supports the Orange Man. Yeah!
