Talk:Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip!

Untitled
I learned this song in elementary school in the 1950's. Why we were tought this song I have no idea. But I've always remembered the lyrics.

I am no admirer of the tobacco companies, but a lifetime interest in popular and country songs has left me with little sympathy for anyone claiming they were duped and had no idea that cigarettes were addictive or dangerous. "Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip" is a classic example:

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,

If the Camels don't get you, the Fatimas must.

1918. And already the crystal-clear message: they're addictive and they'll kill you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jofield (talk • contribs)

Comment
I have a copy of this, a Columbia A2530. It credits Eugene Buckley and the Peerless Quarette (sic), not Arthur Fields and the Peerless Quartet. The article makes it seem that the victor and columbia recordings are the same, but it seems to me they are not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.114.179.200 (talk) 18:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
