This satirical morsel of nonsense is by Peter Bodge, one-time 'house arranger' for the Boston Pops. It's based on Paul Lincke's popular number "The Glow Worm" and humorously quotes from works by Richard Strauss, Rimsky-Korsakov and Johann Strauss. It comes from a 1950s LP entitled "The Family All Together" (RCA LM-1879).
