"Uh-uh!" — and "Woof-Woof!"

(SOMET- -LIKE, "The Music Goes Round and Around" flashed into popularity only a few months ago. About the same :time, "Gloomy Sunday" was reported ‘to be causing suicides wherever it was played. This number, by the way, has been served up to the English public under. the French disguise, "Sombre Dimanche." ‘Now "Stuff Smith, co-member with Farley and Riley of the Onyx Club Band, has produced one of New Zealand’s Jatest Teleases, "‘I’se a Muggin’.’ It: was broadcast tor the second time from 2YA last Friday, August 14, after 10 p.m. The method of "‘muggin’,"" we learn from the record, is this: You have to count from one to 80. When you reach seven, you say "Uh! When you reach any number containing a seven or into’ which seven may be divided, you say "Uh-uh!" When you reach ten you say ‘"Woof!,"" and when you reach any other number ending in nought you exclaim "Woof-woof!" It’s a sure panacea for sanctions and suicide: of all the silly songs this is the silliest.
