Music To Cry To

After my earlier post, this happened:

@jrdskinner cry baby etc has a hilarious {as i recall it} theme song. i sing it to @gjaw when he whines, and it defuses the gloom instantly.

Which, as far as I’m concerned, is fantastic.

I tracked down a larger version of the poster, to get a better line on the featured music, and can tell you that the theme, “Cry, Baby Cry”, was sung by Dick Kallman – a b-string crooner, and sometimes sitcom star, who, in 1980, was murdered for his antiques.

There’s an all-too-short sample at the 15 second mark of the trailer:
