THE SINGING DOGS
directed by CARL WEISMANN
"ROCK AROUND THE DOGS"
b/w "BARKING DOG BOOGIE"
The Singing Dogs was a musical recording project under whose name two singles were released in the 1950s.
The idea for the Singing Dogs came from Don Charles, a producer working in Copenhagen, Denmark. He made recordings of four dogs barking (their names were Dolly, Pearl, Caesar, and King), spliced them on reel-to-reel tape, and arranged the pitches to the tune of the Stephen Foster song "Oh! Susanna".
This was eventually released as the A-side , with the B-side a medley of "Pat-a-Cake", "Three Blind Mice", and "Jingle Bells". The novelty record became a hit, reaching #22 on the U.S. Billboard Pop Singles chart. The disc eventually sold over half a million copies.
THIS is the rarer follow-up single - riding the 1956 "Rock and Roll" Craze
"Rock around the Dogs" / "Barking Dog Boogie"
