Oldies 103 in Boston! I used to listen to it when I was stationed at Ft. Devens in 1988-89!

Yup! I grew up 30 min./mi. outside Boston and 103 was a huge favorite of mine. Now the only place I can find that music in "radio" format is various streams and playlists.

Coasters were a great at novelty songs!

I love "Charlie Brown." The line "Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum --- I smell smoke in the auditorium" is great.

Love seeing the original version.
I heard this Ray Stevens version on the radio during the 1980's.
Here are 2 videos of Ray Stevens doing "along Came Jones."
Rays adjusted the lyrics. Instead of repeating "and then" when describing the villian actions, he has the woman victim screaming them.
1. Here is his recording of it, with black and white silent movies style cartoon pictures added.

2. From the Andy Williams show, with Ray and Andy sharing the lyrics. And a young Donny Osman playing the part of Jones on his horse.
