They were the brainchild of Ed Cobb and pianist Lincoln Mayorga, and their records were issued on the Capitol label.
They were most successful in Britain, where their hits were, beginning in 1960, "Macdonald's Cave" (based on "Old McDonald Had a Farm"), "Piltdown Rides Again" (based on Rossini's "William Tell Overture"), "Chas Has Done His Bootlaces" (based on "Ian Harold Brown" by Charlie Chiro), and (in celebration of the coincidental start of The Flintstones cartoon series on television) "Goodnight Mrs. Flintstone" (based on "Good Night Ladies" by E. P. Christy).
Also in 1960, the tune "Brontosaurus Stomp" reached #75 on the Billboard Hot 100. A CD compilation album was released in 1998, entitled The Piltdown Men Ride Again.
Their name was inspired by the Piltdown Man hoax.

Wow! I thought I was the only guy on earth who remembered this song. THANK YOU!!! Man, there's a hole in the soul of Pop music where the Tenor Sax used to be. I feel sorry for young people who don't even know what it's like to turn on the radio & hear ...Wait for it....an...INSTRUMENTAL! ...Honest, Kids - they had .....NO WORDS!!!
