I had *sworn* that I wasn't going to submit this weeper to Andrew's Ace Archives even as a joke (should I wait for April Fool's Day or Halloween?) - but no sooner had I acquired a copy on the COLLECTOR'S ESSENTIALS: THE '60S comp than it was mentioned in Rev. Billy C. Wirtz's 'Backside' column ('During the early Sixties Dickie Lee was the king of the splatter platter') in the 3/97 issue of _Musician_ magazine. (Fer chrissakes, the lyrics are even *quoted in full* in Brunvand's _The Mexican Pet_!) This kozmic konfluence of events convinced me of the error of my ways:
