Mama Get Your Hammer (There’s a Fly on Baby’s Head)

I was listening to the “Theme Time Radio Hour with your host Bob Dylan,” and he played “Mama Get Your Hammer (There’s a Fly on Baby’s Head)” by the Bobby Peterson Quartet.  Aside from being an amusing song, it was an interesting juxtaposition with a billboard I happened to be driving past at the time: “Don’t Shake Your Baby”.

More musical advice about babies is available in  The Four Postmen‘s song “The Chainsaw Juggler”:

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, unless it’s floating face down.

And then there’s the classic Shel Silverstein song “Someone Ate the Baby.”
