Ernest Hare and Billy Jones "That's What the Animals Do"

I recently heard an unknown Happiness Boys song called "That's What the Animals Do" on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsrQtvje4Hk in modern cylinder form. I had never heard it before even though I have many Hare and Jones records mostly on Edison. I found out that the reason I had never heard or saw it before is because it was never released on a commercial record. It was taken from a 1934 radio show when Kurt Nauck found it on a radio transcription disc. It's a great song that was never put on a record at the time I assume because it was the Depression when few could afford records and everyone was listening to the radio. Anyway I salute Kurt Nauck for finding this little gem and Edisonia for putting it on a cylinder.
