I've got two copies of it (both adult acquisitions 'cause I lent out my childhood one and it disappeared). I just love the singer's big bombastic voice...so full, so rich, so fab. Some day, when I figure out how to digitize it, I'll send you one. Hey…That Babar 7″ is my favorite kiddie record…”We Have Lost 2 Little Elephants b/w The Big Gray Elephant Team.

It's hard to make out in the picture (which I took), but the cover actually lists the song as "When I See an Elephant Fly" in error. I'm certain Art Carney was the voice in question. The song is by the great songwriting team of Alec Wilder and Marshall Barer, who wrote hundreds of children's and popular songs. If you had the LP you might also remember the excellent "Roly-Poly Man In the Moon," another Wilder-Barer composition which can be found here http://wilderworld.podomatic.com/entry/2007-01-06T21_39_07-08_00 I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's very troubling to read. I still don’t understand who this “we” is that you keep referring to — are you schizophrenic? It’s very troubling to read.
