my god, what memories ... 66 years young, and I can remember going thru my grandparents old junk they had stuffed away in their garage one day and ran across this record ... I brought it to my grandmother and asked her if I could play it ... she of course said yes and when my grandfather heard it, he jumped up, grabbed my grandmother and they started dancing like there was no tomorrow. She just kept laughing as he sang along to the song ... never saw them any happier than at that moment.
My Dad passed away May 1st 2011... He use to sing this sing all the time when he was in the hospital for 3 months. Makes me smile. Navy man my Dad was! Good looking Sailor!
My grandfather sang this too but he changed the words she’s got a freckle on her but she’s pretty he also was a navy man quite the character he’s been gone a long time but I still remember this song like yesterday
Aw! My grandmother used to sing this to my siblings and I. My brother once got in trouble for writing "She has freckles on her but, she is nice" in first grade, and my mom had to explain to the teacher that it came from our grandmother. Memories!
My sisters and I in the back seat of the family car, being driven around eastern Ohio, listening to AM radio (no FM back then) to "The Freckles Song", "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" and "Too Fat Polka"...
Boy do I remember it----as a kid we thought this was really x-rated. We would sneak it out and put on the rec. player when the folks went out and we had the house to ourselves.My girlfriends and I would have sleep over and listen until we almost wore it out."Roll me over in the clover" was our favorite.
i first heard this on the dr demento show. there are some others that i would love to find on here but no one has them. looks like i'm gonna have to hunt them down elsewhere and upload them myself lol
lol my grandpa used to sing this song all the time so my brothers and my friend who was there at the time always would change the words to my name kayla's got freckles on her butt she is pretty.....u used to b offended but i guess it means im pretty..lol
The older generations of my family would go around singing, "She's got freckles on her butt, but she's purty". They just did it to get us kids to giggle.
@@barrycrawford1133 I guess it was just old Southern folks and their sense of humor. Might be the way the first Southerner that heard it, sang it back to those that hadn't heard it yet with his own interpretation. Nah, my family was witty and funny, it had to be the old folks.
Yes! My mom sang it to me all the time because I had so many freckles! But she would say, "you've got freckles on your butt you're pretty!" And it was a different tune. Where did that come from? We're back east peps.
I have this with the roll me over song, but no way to convert it off the 78. Have you heard the cigarette song/ "Grabb'n someone's butt"? "He likes them round, he likes them nice, he's been slapped once or twice."
There's a more recent version (probably from the 1990's) of this song done with just a piano accompanyment...anyone have any idea who does that version??
I think we all have similar stories. My Mom used to sing this, the first line is all she could remember. In 51 years, this is the first time I've heard the original song. :-)

@@ryanmcclain7714 my grandma said she’s got freckles on her butt she’s pretty too!!!
This is probably the first time I've heard this song, so thank you for allowing me the opportunity to do so.
Awesomeness! "She was born in Hackensack she made a fortune on her... "
Aw! My grandmother used to sing this to my siblings and I. My brother once got in trouble for writing "She has freckles on her but, she is nice" in first grade, and my mom had to explain to the teacher that it came from our grandmother. Memories!
That is hilarious!! I love it!
Great story.
🫶🏽
This one is right up there with "Shaving Cream"!
My Dad sang this to us. I didn't know it was actually a recorded song. Mom sang 'Sweet Violets'.
My sisters and I in the back seat of the family car, being driven around eastern Ohio, listening to AM radio (no FM back then) to "The Freckles Song", "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" and "Too Fat Polka"...
Have heard this numerous times on Dr.Demento's program-A delightful ditty!

I'm 60+ and heard my Grandad sing this often! I thought he made it up...didn't know it was a record!
You still alive?
@@PranavTheGreat1pls respond sassylrhg
Same!
I'm 60 and have never heard this.
Hailee Steinfeld sent me here
Dr. Demento used to play this one! ☺
My dad used to sing "she's got pimples on her, but .... I love her.
+Bradley Baum
My grandmother always sang, "She's got pimples on her butt, she's purdy."
She was born in Hackensack she made a fortune on her .....career. ROTFL
i first heard this on the dr demento show. there are some others that i would love to find on here but no one has them. looks like i'm gonna have to hunt them down elsewhere and upload them myself lol
You people all have dirty minds. She's got freckles on her BUT, she is nice...
Jeepers!
My grandfather used to sing this to me. I haven't heard this song since he died in 2002. What memories!
Here;s another Grandad who sang it often! Now, at 86, my kids want me to record it??
freckles on her but - hehe hehehe

Where's the one with "But she's pretty"? Never heard it with "She is nice"
My dad would do the same, but alternate between pretty and nice.

Pearl Records was the only Cincinnati/Covington label to feature party records that may never have been known much outside of the tri-state area.
I remember hearing this when I was a kid

My mom used to sing this, I thought it was so funny. Momma sang it, she’s got freckles on her but, she’s pretty.
The lengths folks had to go just to sing "she's got freckles on her butt" without getting in trouble back then
There's a more recent version (probably from the 1990's) of this song done with just a piano accompanyment...anyone have any idea who does that version??
TopshelfTom I was looking for that version!! I can't find it anywhere!!
A woman i take care of at work will sing this. she has Alzheimers and i thought she just made a song.
I like how many of the lines ON PURPOSELY don't rhyme, mostly due to the singer swapping out words. XD
It's a technique used so your mind can fill in the rhyming word, which is usually at least slightly dirty.
Its called “a play on words”. Ud was correct. Its a lost art. David Lee Roth and Huey Lewis ( theres a combo for ya) used it a lot in their lyrics.
“Reached down...between my legs....,
Eased the (car) seat back....
Get it? 😁
My dad played this in the sixties always made me laugh 😂
Of COURSE we have dirty minds - whaddaya thing keeps this song popular LOL!
I so love this song. I have sung the first part of it since I was a kid. It's nice to hear the rest of it! Well done!
I still have the original 78
My grandma would sing this to me. Brought back memories :)
Props to the writer..Harry Stewart aka Yogi Yorgesson.
A song for Sour Sweet
My Dad would sing this song to us kids.
I am proud to have played this show on my college radio station - thanks Doctor Demento for introducing me to it!

I kissed her--in the Astor Bar.
Miss Dianna,
Have you got freckles on...?
😹
But you ARE nice!
🌙💃🏻
My Dad used to sing this song! Well, sometimes, he still does! But he would sing "She has freckles on her butt, and she's mine."
What year is this from? My great grandfather sang this.
freckle weckles :.(....
My ex wife had freckles on her butt.
@lobosco107 really my grandmother sang this to me i love it
Some people don't like freckles,at least the person is nice inside.
🤦♀️
CC is terrible.
