Bubbles in the Tar

 

The Piltdown Men released a series of singles from 1960 to 1962, and many had titles with prehistoric themes:  “Brontosaurus Stomp”, “Mac Donald’s Cave”, “Bubbles in the Tar”, “Goodnight, Mrs. Flintstone”, “Big Lizzard”, etc.  (These are their spellings on the record album, not mine). 

 

“Bubbles in the Tar” and “Goodnight, Mrs. Flintstone” were both Top 20 hits in the U.K.
