Wonderful song - I have this from an album she did. I always loved this song - very cleverly written. It is a shame that it wasn't a hit.

I found this in the old navy radio station in Hofn Iceland in 1970. I recorded it onto

a reel to reel and finally got it transferred to a compact disc this year. It's a cute song and she has a great,plaintive way of singing it. Thanks for posting it.

Miami Vice anyone? Crockett quotes this song in the very first episode - that's how I got here actually. Curiosity, curiosity...

Until today, I always thought this song title was a joke. Thanks for adding this fact to my life.
