Harold Lee’s Frog Farm
I'm not sure what frog-ranching today is like. But one of the first guys to do it successfully was a fellow named Harold Lee, pictured to the right.
You can read about ol' Harold here, in this 1951 POPULAR MECHANICS article.

The Bells
At first one imagines that the weepy singer of this doo-wop song is lamenting his dead woman. But when he says that the bells are "ringing out for me," you begin to wonder if the lyrics are narrated by a corpse at its own funeral. In any case, it's a weird, over-the-top performance.
