Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits: Making With The Magilla (1964)

Magilla Gorilla found a way to tap into the teen demographic with this pop ditty sung by Little Eva ("The Loco-Motion"). Here's "Making With The Magilla":



If memory serves me correctly, Little Eva was never given screen credit. However, music & toon historians eventually made it public. I think "Making" might have made it onto a compilation CD years later, but I am not sure.

The MP3 version of Rhino's 2005 The Dimension Dolls compilation, featuring "Making with the Magilla", is available at Amazon.

I never knew it was Little Eva singing this song!

HB really knew how to knock 'em out of the park didn't they??

Neither did I until I pulled up the clip on YouTube.
