1951 HITS ARCHIVE: Come On-A My House - Rosemary Clooney (a #1 record)

Details

Description

Come On-A My House (Bagdasarian-Saroyan) by Rosemary Clooney with four-piece combo (harpsichord by Stan Freeman)

This memorable novelty, co-written by Ross Bagdasarian (aka David Seville) and his famed Pulitzer-Prize-winning author cousin William Saroyan, was introduced in the off-Broadway production “The Son.” Running just under two minutes and sporting a lively harpsichordian arrangement, this Clooney recording quickly became a popular favorite and her first #1 hit. Kay Starr also reached the national top-20 with her version, and there was the comic answer record “Where’s-A Your House” by Robert Q. Lewis (both tracks included in this 1951 collection).
