Spike Jones "Ghost Riders"
From Wikipedia
Spike's parody of Vaughn Monroe's "Ghost Riders in the Sky" was performed as if sung by a drunkard and ridiculed Monroe by name in its final stanza:[3][4]
CHORUS: 'Cause all we hear is "Ghost Riders" sung by Vaughn Monroe
DRUNK: I can do without his singing.
FRIEND: But I wish I had his dough!
The original version was pressed for the European market in 1949. Furthermore, a few pressings containing the first ending were mistakenly pressed on the West Coast and are a prized rarity. The official (and more common) American release used an alternative take, minus the dig at Monroe, because Monroe, an RCA recording artist and also a major RCA stockholder, demanded it.[5]
on the reverse sdide it reads "National Wheaties Week" Sam Hayes AM & PM
