To continue ... when the I-Dogs broke up in 1975, Don played a tape of the song for then-BOC co-manager/co-producer Murray Krugman, who liked the hook and rewrote the rest of the lyrics, to which then-BOC drummer Albert Bouchard wrote all-new music. This is why the credits read: Bouchard-Krugman-Waller.
Aside from Current 93, the BOC version has been covered by the Nomads (as the Screamin' Dizbusters), the U.V.'s, Lizzy Borden, and L7.

Yes, BOC's version is better, but I give Current 93 credit for being aware of this lost classic, and covering it in their own scrappy style.
When I played this song off the LP on Seattle's KCMU,(RIP) it had a different title, something like "Happy Birthday."
Maybe they were trying to avoid attention from Columbia Records' legal department?

Yes, it's better but this is far more sinister...at least for me.

if it was done first by them then why are the people from Blue Öyster Cult listed as the songs writers? (Albert Bouchard, Murray Krugman, Don Waller)

I think they are using footage from both shows mixed together but the audio is Japan 1988.
