Eileen Barton! She sang the 1950's hit, "If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked A Cake." "Eileen Barton and The New Yorkers," it says on my 78.

There was also a kids' version of "Video Village".."Kideo Village" (AKA "Video Village Junior") seen saturday mornings on The CBS TV Network briefly during the 1962 tv season. Monty Hall (who was the announcer of the weekday morning adult version of "Video Village" then hosted by Jack Narz) became the series' mc..Kenny Williams was the show's second and last announcer and comedy relief and Eileen Barton was the show's model and singer.

Actually.."Shenanigans" began as a local kids tv game show on WPIX TV Ch.11 in NYC back in the early 1950's. Mr. Bob Quigley (who collaborated on the development and producing of The ABC TV Network version of the show with Mr. Merrill Heatter) hosted the local NYC edition of the show..but? as a private detective having his studio audiences answering riddles to solve baffling crimes.

Wasn't "Shananigans" just a kid's version of this?
