about

This is a cover of Ogden Edsl's jolly little ditty. Ed had heard it on Dr. Demento's radio program and had apparently been singing it for years at his annual "Telethon Parties" (snarky celebrations of the Jerry Lewis telethon). This is a rare instance of Ed singing and very likely includes the voices of telethon party friends who got mixed up a little bit with the pre-WoG Walls Of Genius, Dena Zocher & Marsha Wooley. There may have been some others at the session, perhaps Glenn Swanson and Bud Dent. This track was previously released on the 1983 cassette "the WoG Sampler" and was credited to the band "The Dirt Clods". By the time of this release, December 1983, we were calling the "organization" Walls Of Genius but hadn't yet decided that that's who we were.

The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
