This “Stand Out Single” was one of my Mom’s and a favorite of mine as a kid.
The single “I’m a Nut” / “Knee Deep” by Leroy Pullins, released in June 1966, stands as a notable example of country novelty music. Leroy Pullins, both the writer and performer, crafted “I’m a Nut” with a humorous and whimsical style reminiscent of Roger Miller, leading to frequent misattributions to Miller.
The song achieved significant commercial success peaking at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1969.
“Groovy Grubworm” is an instrumental track by Harlow Wilcox and the Oakies, notable for its catchy and whimsical blend of country and rock influences. Written by Harlow Wilcox and Bobby Warren1 (Producer), the song became a surprising hit in 1969, showcasing the crossover appeal of country-flavored instrumentals in an era dominated by rock and pop.
