Beans in My Ears

"Beans in My Ears" is a song created and sung by protest singer and contributing editor to folk-centric ''Broadside Magazine'', Len Chandler. It became a hit single when covered by The Serendipity Singers, reaching #30 in June 1964. Doctors protested that many children were actually putting beans in their ears so it was banned in some places such as Pittsburgh and Boston. Numerous public health boards reportedly blacklisted the song, as well, according to Chandler.〔''Sing Out!'' Vol. 15 (#2) 1965, p. 45.〕 "Some television shows asked us to do something different," said Bryan Sennett of the Serendipity Singers. "Understandably so--it was dangerous. Obviously, (the song) was a statement about adults not listening to children."〔Brown, G. ''Colorado Rocks: A Half-Century of Music in Colorado''. Boulder, CO.: Pruett Publishing, 2004.〕 Pittsburgh radio station KDKA's program manager Jack Williams imposed the ban due to the number of listener complaints and doctor reports about children putting objects in their ears in the three weeks following the song's release on the station.〔"KDKA Bans Novelty Disk". ''Billboard'', June 6, 1964, p. 36.〕
The insistent chorus goes
The song was covered by Lonnie Donegan in 1964 on the Pye Records label. It was also covered by Pete Seeger in his 1966 album ''Dangerous Songs!?''. Seeger's version satirically attacked Lyndon B. Johnson's involvement in the Vietnam War. In addition to Chandler's original lyrics, Seeger sang that "Mrs. Jay's little son Alby" had "beans in his ears", which, as the lyrics imply, ensures that some people do not hear what is said to them. To those opposed to continuing the Vietnam War, the phrase suggested that "Alby Jay", a loose pronunciation of Johnson's nickname "LBJ", did not listen to anti-war protests as he too had "beans in his ears".
