Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron

The first in a series celebrating Goofy Greats!: the 1975 K-Tel compilation that turned a generation of kids onto novelty songs, old rock n roll and R & B, and some very questionable tunes, too (we're looking at you, Ray Stevens) ... we go back to our old friends The Royal Guardsmen and their enduring hit, "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron." A lighhearted song about combat during the escalation of the Vietnam War? Sign me up! There's a LOT of Canadian connections with this tune, including the fact that, for copyright purposes, the band  recorded a version for the Canuck market called "Squeaky vs, The Black Knight", featuring a bucktoothed beaver with a gleam in his eye! We also play a 1970s cover by UK band Hotshots - and it's ... reggae? Doof großartig!!
