DESCRIPTION:
The M.O.A. were the Music Operators of America. This recording was created especially to thank them for their work, to be given away at the 13th annual M.O.A. convention. The M.O.A. was started in 1948 by Jukebox operators, but they must not have had their first convention until around 1950, as this single came from 1963. The song itself is seemingly a take off of Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight), and is quite catchy on its own. I'd like to thank Fred Hoyt for allowing me to use his label scan for this video, and for Topshelf Oldies' own Jim Sinner for introducing me to this record many years ago. You can hear great records like this one live every night at www.topshelfoldies.org!
