Children's Marching Song (Nick, Nack, Paddy, Wack) - Marty Gold Video

STEREO ACTION GOES HOLLYWOOD: The sound your eyes can follow. Marty Gold and his orchestra. THE CHILDRENS MARCHING SONG (NICK, NACK, PADDY, WACK), has a full-sounding brass section of four trombones and four trumpets in place of the strings to provide the basic contrast against the other instruments. The song is from the 1958 movie The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. A toy drum sets the swinging march cadence on the left followed, in step and across your speakers, by the trombones which are later joined by piccolos on the right. This trooping back and forth motion continues on ever-alert sentinel duty throughout the number and the excitement steadily build up with the addition of the short melody, first heard on the left on the toy piano and toy bells, then carried on in successive rounds by muted trumpets, guitar, accordion, and the combination of piccolo, flute and bassoon. This circular march in climaxed by the swinging brass which at last comes into view at the end of the marching group.
