Too bad!
Its an south Africa folksong/lullaby entitled "Siembamba" being performed the duo of Joseph Marais, and Miranda. Active back in the 1940s. My parents had some of their albums.
The song is this lovely lullaby....about "mommy's baby"..lovely until you noticed that the words are "twist his neck...hit him on the head...throw him in the ditch and he'll be dead..."

Wow, that is too bad! I’ve been trying to find it on YouTube with no luck. Quite a sinister song for a lullaby.

I have 2 of these. I am too uncoordinated to play them.
Ah, I remember seeing adverts for those things, personally I could never own one, since I lack the patience for such games. Knowing me, I'd probably end up throwing it at a wall.

A friend of mine has one, and that's exactly what I want to do with it about 2 seconds after he starts playing with the damned thing!
