If you weren't born a hundred years ago, you may not be familiar with this song, which was written in 1914 and is best known for a 1950 Debbie Reynolds movie I have never seen.
Which begs the question: how in the hell do I know this song?
From my childhood, of course. It's one of those ridiculously catchy nonsensical tunes my mom used to sing to me, as her mom used to sing it to her when she was a child growing up in the '50s.
It's a cute ditty about two monkeys in love. What's not to like?
"And the big baboon one night in June, he married them and very soon they went upon their aba dabba honeymoon!"
Classic.
