"Mule Train" by Frankie Laine and the Muleskinners


I've had this song stuck in my head ever since I played this album yesterday.  This was the theme song for a Borax TV commercial I remember seeing with my grandpa.

I love the TV clip where he is fooling around with the whip.  It is TOO funny!  "I've been waiting 6 weeks to get even with camera 3, get ready." (at time 0:40).

I also notice the "KKOK" on the back which makes me suspect this was used at a radio station at some point in the past.  I did an Internet search and found this station in Minnesota:

Funny that this record migrated west to Utah  :)
