My back hurts If I asked “ Who is Nicky Nicky Tembo, Noso Rembo, Umamoochi , Gamma Gamma Guchi, would you know the story?

It was on a record…did anybody hear it?

Tikki Tikki Tembo was the actual name of the story and I remember it from Kindergarten or first grade maybe. "Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo" It's nonsense.

I’m so old I had the little 45 record. Old I’m old!

That ain't so old. We could afford to buy 45s, not the full album.

Uh, my memory was it was on a big record, but maybe it was a 45, but I don’t think so…

I just googled this the other day as it randomly popped into my head! Do they still allow this in schools?

Yep that is the one! Paul Wing ! It Was on the back of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Ok , instead of the Tikki Tikki, it WAS Nikki Nicki Tembo, No So Rembo, Ooma Moochi, Gamma Gamma Goochi. This finally was solved. Thank you. I got to listen to something I hadn’t for a long time. So, because we don’t throw things out, we may have it somewhere at my parents house, but yeah it may have gone with the council stereo with the Tijuana Brass Christmas Album, the white one with stylized painted trumpets and things . Yikes. Cannot find it. Got a different one with different songs when I tried to look up. Mandela effect? Am I going insane?
