A relatively minor song, as far as I can tell, with a few releases but little to show that it was a popular staple. Although it may not especially stand out when it comes to the subject matter or the approach taken, the lyrics are nicely polished and there's plenty to like about how it all comes together.

Johnny Marvin does the honours in this 1927 recording (interestingly credited as a "comedian with orchestra" on the record label), with strong musical backing including some prominent accordion:

So since I got my finger blowed up, I can't really play piano, and I have been taking on psychic damage ever since.

However it seems like I might be able to play an accordion, since my blowed up finger is on my left hand and accordion seems like it has much less "ballistic" hits to the finger.

But I can't make heads or tails about what in the fuck kind of accordion to try: I play mostly moody emo Chopin sadgirl tunes, and I love piazzola, so I was reading about bandoneons, but it turns out that you can't actually get one (like literally it seems like they were only mass manufactured pre WWII and now only for like $10k custom made) and the key layout means you can like only play tango on them. And then since its a folk instrument there are like one million other kinds of accordion and I can't tell how much each is specialized for a specific kind of music.

Is there anyone on here I reach who plays #accordion and can help me out knowing what kinda button bag to play? I would be a beginner accordionist but I have been playing piano my whole life and am looking for a long term romance I mean replacement, so I don't need the like "there are 5 notes on this one and you can't go wrong" kind. I would love to be able to play sea shanties and folk punk tunes, but if its also possible to play some Chopin or Debussy arrangements on the thing that would be extremely emotionally valuable to me.

edit: thank you accordionists of the fedi for the information, and non-accordionists of the fedi for helping me reach them. my questions have been largely answered and i am gonna pick one up shortly :)

Torretje

Slow children’s song in Dutch that Simon Oak wrote for his three year old. It’s about a little beetle that wished it had a mustache and it tells the story of how it gets it.

Lyrics

Daar was een heel klein torretje
Dat had een grote wens
Hij wou zo graag een snorretje
Maar ja, hij was geen mens

Toen ging hij naar de tovenaar
Daar was het niet zo leuk
Hij moest daar in een bad met haar
Maar kreeg alleen maar jeuk

Toen kreeg hij van de koningin
Een drank van drakenstaart
Daar moest een beetje honing in
Maar dat was ook niets waard

Toen ging hij naar de boerderij
Daar kreeg hij vliegenzalf
Met heel veel kippenvoer erbij
Maar nee, het hielp niet half

Toen ging hij naar z’n beste vrind
Die had een goede raad
Gekregen van de westenwind
Let goed op hoe dat gaat

Toen kneep hij stijf zijn ogen dicht
En in zijn fantasie
Kreeg tor een snor op zijn gezicht
‘k Geloof zelfs dat ik hem zie!
