At the Music Shop, Parts 1 & 2 (1953?). Introducing the kiddies to violin, piano, kettle drum, mandolin, saxophone, trombone, clarinet, flute and bass.

Burt the Turtle (The Duck and Cover Song) (1953). This theme song for the most famous civil defense (read: "frighten the kiddies") film of the Cold War was written by the same jingle writers that created "See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet."

The Froggy Song (1955?). One of four 45-rpm sides that Two Ton made for the Moppet label; they were also released on one side of an Imperial 10" LP.
|
Clink Clank (in My Piggy Bank) (1955?). This recording was released on the London label in Great Britain in 1955; earlier Two Ton records were released in France and South Africa.
|
I'm a Little Weenie (1955?).
|
No Beer in Heaven! (early 1960s?). This 45 rpm record came out on the Heartbeat label ("Music with a 'heart' and a 'beat'") of Chicago music entrepreneur Seymour Schwartz.

My Blue Heaven (early 1960s?)

Love Medley (1972)
This Sunny LP seems to be a reissue compilation of recordings made for Sunny 45s. Among the "love" songs are "Shanty in Old Shanty Town" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band"--well, that might say love to somebody.
|
Satin Doll (1972)
The liner notes state that “‘Satin Doll’ was written and taught to Two Ton by Duke Ellington at a gathering at Two Ton’s home one evening almost twenty years ago.” It’s certainly possible: Ellington wrote and recorded the tune in 1953, and he and Two Ton were good friends.
