This recording was produced in New York City during June of 1925 featuring Cliff Edwards ukulele & vocals.

*"Paddlin' Madelin' Home" was written by Harry Woods.

This release stands among the finest recorded examples of Cliff Edwards' (aka Ukulele Ike's) unique novelty vocalization which he referred to as "Effin". Though this sound was produced by the human voice it bears an uncanny similarity to a hot trumpet or kazoo.
