''Connie Francis and The Kids Next Door'' is a studio album recorded by U. S. Entertainer Connie Francis. ==Background== Whilst the material of her album ''Connie Francis sings Fun Songs For Children'' (1959) clearly had aimed at toddlers and smaller children of pre-school age, ''Connie Francis and The Kids Next Door'' contained material suitable for older children and youths in their early teens by combining classic songs such as ''Do-Re-Mi'' from the musical ''The Sound of Music'' with modern novelty songs like a rendition of Brian Hyland's 1960 hit ''Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini''. The orchestral backing track and the vocal contributions of an unidentified children choir were recorded on May 17 and 18, 1966. Francis overdubbed her vocals to all songs on June 1, 1966.〔Ron Roberts: ''Connie Francis Discography 1955 – 1975''〕 The album was originally scheduled for release on Francis' label MGM Records with the catalogue numbers E-4412 (mono pressings) and SE-4412 (stereo pressings) but was eventually reassigned to MGM's subsidiary label King Leo Records and released in stereo only under the catalogue number LES-903.〔Connie Francis: ''Souvenirs'', Booklet of 4-CD-Box, Polydor 1996, Cat.-No. 314 533 382-2〕 Of the thirteen recorded songs, ''Batman'' remains unreleased to this day. Along with her 1960 UK-Single ''Robot Man'' and her 1968 rendition of the Burt Bacharach classic ''Promises, Promises'', Francis herself calls ''Batman'' "the dumbest song I've ever recorded". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Connie Francis and The Kids Next Door」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
