At over 6 minutes, it's not a lost 45. Here's the scoop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Fat_(song)

Ah, memories... of Joyner Elementary School in the 1960s, and Mrs. Bernard playing this record and we little kiddies doing these exercises in the classroom.

ges, when I take the link, Wikipedia says there's no such page. Maybe it is now lost?

My grandmother had this record! Though I never thought to ask where it came from, I'd guess it was via her employment as an elementary school teacher. Not a 45; 33 1/3

Well, rats. I am copying the link directly from the Wiki page, and it's still not working when I paste it here. Here's a workaround: go to *this* page, and click on the Wikipedia link. When I do that it takes me to the song page. https://www.google.com/search?q=Robert+Preston+-+Chicken+Fat&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS822US822&oq=Robert+Preston+-+Chicken+Fat&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

I remember now that there's a previously experienced problem with linking to Wikipedia pages. Instead of clicking on the link, you have to copy the URL and paste it into the address line of your browser.

Frank: the problem is with the parentheses. This works:

and this doesn't:
