A Jerkin' Lullabye - For Weenies

Dick "Two Ton" Baker ("The Music Maker") - I'm a Little Weenie
This 10-inch promotional album of selections from children's records on the Imperial label featured two different versions of this song, surely one of the most Freudian children's songs ever to hit the market. This is the better version of the two because the vocalist captures the sadness of the unwanted wiener.

Jef Stevens writes:"I'm a little weenie" was performed by Dick "Two Ton" Baker ("The Music Maker") who was also well-known in the Chicago area as a Pirate kiddie show host and disc jockey in the 50's. He was also famous for his songs "I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch," "In Heaven There is no Beer," "I Like Stinky Cheese," "What the Engine Done," and "Civilization." He also made television commercials yelling "Laugh your troubles away at Chicago's Riverview Amusement Park". How they got him in to (or out of) the Wild Mouse (mini-roller coaster), is anyone's guess.
