Been looking for this song for years. I recorded it off a Dr. Demento Halloween special back in the mid 80s.

I bought the 45rpm in '76 but my wife at that time threw it away after hearing it. I've been looking for it ever since. Aha, I found it at last. Thank you

[Howlinblind]

That is cool as hell... dose he know anything more about Jack Kittle?

[maroongem]

Sadly, Jack Kittel was killed in an auto crash not too long after recording this IIRCC. I bought this 45 when it came out on GRC , but have always preferred Eddie Noack's version on K-Ark.

The steel guitaron Noack's versiion gives a very eerie lease to the song.

Jack died in 1996 in New Era Michigan

Thanks for setting me straight on the date of your cousin's untimely passing and am sorry for your loss. I was friends with Jeff & Marva Wilson who were from Muskegon and lived here for a while before moving back to Shelby, MI. They said they knew Jack when they lived there previously. I first heard this song on WBCN out of Boston and ordered it from a local record store in Lowell, Mass.

@ToadOnDrums THIS VERSION always seemed the more twisted version to me very haunting

music score ,finally found a mint 45 of this at a goodwill a few years back radio promo copy

I have Many different versions of this song and Teddy Thompson does a pretty good version also, The owner of GRC Records was a pretty infamous Guy Mr. Micheal Thevis Cicely Tyson & leslie Uggams also recorded for this Lable as did Sammy Johns who had a hit with Chevy Van
