In 1956, when Paramount Pictures was releasing the Alfred Hitchcock film The Trouble With Harry, someone got the idea of getting different recording artists to record different versions of the title song. It was some sort of promotional idea that I really don't understand. One of those versions came out on Liberty Records and it was performed by, as you can see on the label, "Alfi and Harry." This recording appears nowhere in the film but it was "inspired" by it.

Does Alfi's voice sound familiar to you? It might if you're old enough to remember Ross Bagdasarian who also made records under the name "David Seville." He did a lot of novelty records like this before he hit big with "Witch Doctor" and later with his sped-up friends, Alvin and the Chipmunks. This may be my favorite of all that he put on vinyl. CAUTION: It may also be an earworm that will move into your head and live there for days/months/years…
