Best known for his comedy records with Spike Jones and his own Natural Seven sides for Capitol, Ernest Jansen "Red" Ingle (1906-65) was an American musician, singer and writer, arranger, cartoonist and caricaturist. Best known for his comedy records with Spike Jones and his own Natural Seven sides for Capitol, Ernest Jansen "Red" Ingle (1906-65) was an American musician, singer and writer, arranger, cartoonist and caricaturist.After his brief hour of glory, which amounted to less than six months, he concentrated on his demo service, providing music for other peoples' songs. He would charge around seven dollars to make these demos, some of which led to publishing contracts for the songwriters. There then followed two years of unexciting war work. After he failed an eye test for the Air Force, he returned to music with Spike Jones & His City Slickers, where his comedic talents and flair for vocal effects found a welcoming home. Jones started featuring him as a front man immediately, and Ingle's outrageous stage presence helped transform the City Slickers' stage act into something more visual than before. With Ingle's input, the band gradually became a complete stage package that would eventually peak (after his departure) in the late 1940s and early '50s with the wildly successful Musical Depreciation Revue. "There was nobody in the band as funny as Red," said Zep Meissner, the band's clarinetist; "guys like him were funny in themselves, they didn't need material." An example of his routine appears in the film Bring on the Girls, where he takes off the vaudeville song "Chloe." He would run on in a frightwig, combat boots and a nightgown, while waving a lantern, climaxing the song with the cry "I gotta go!" as he dived into an outhouse. A record of this song went gold for the band, spending four weeks in the top ten. He was also the featured vocalist on other City Slickers hits, such as "You Always Hurt the One You Love" and "Glow Worm," - this last being featured in the film Breakfast in Hollywood, one of many films featuring the band. Red Ingle (also called "Swamphead" by this time) was also the band's resident caricaturist, designing many of the Spike Jones likenesses used in, among other things, stage backdrops and press advertisements. Ingle left in November 1946 after a salary dispute. He drifted through Radio and Hollywood, even working in light opera, until he made "Tim-Tay-Shun", a spoof recording of the then-popular Perry Como hit "Temptation", with Jo Stafford (under the name "Cinderella G. Stump"). As the single went on to sell three million copies, Ingle formed a new band - Red Ingle and His Natural Seven; the group included several former City Slickers, among them Country Washburne, who had arranged "Tim-Tay-Shun". The band had several more hits, including "Cigareetes, Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women", "Them Durn Fool Things," and "'A', You're a Dopey Gal." The band also recorded short films of their numbers, before finally disbanding in 1952.
DISC DETAILS: UK CAPITOL CL 13015 10" 78rpm SIDE 1 :- Cigareets Whuskey and Wild Wild Women SIDE 2:- RED INGLE AND HIS UNATURAL SEVEN - Serutan Yob Because of the Petrillo recording ban of 1948, the only member of the Natural Seven in it is Karen Tedder the singer. Most of the rest (including sound effects) is provided by the famous disc jockey Jim Hawthorne. The song has lots of his 'in' jokes and trademarks (hogan, Skippy, peachy keen, etc.). Only toy or wacky instruments are used: kazoo, ukulele, cardboard box ... The weird noise in the second part of the instrumental bridge is made by Jim Hawthorne's 'hogantwanger': graduated hacksaw blades mounted on a wooden frame. As a hillbilly parody of 'Nature Boy' (as sung by Nat King Cole), why isn't this called 'Erutan Yob'? 'Serutan' and 'under 40' are sneaky references to contemporary commercials for a laxative called 'Serutan' promising regularity to the over 35s. Some people think that Karen Tedder is really Jo Stafford in disguise (Jo Stafford had already recorded 'Temptation' with Red Ingle, as 'Cinderella G. Stump'). There was a real person called Karen Tedder who sang with Red Ingle; but the voice in this song does sound rather like the voice in 'Temptation' VOCALIST:
