The first 45rpm I ever bought. What's scary is that I remembered every line of the song.
Or maybe scarier still is that the ipod generation doesn't necessarily know what rpm stands for?
I didn't see credit given to the "Boris" who sang this.

Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

Geez...I knew THAT. But not everyone who clicks on it would know.
And you have to wonder if "younger" people would recognize that Bobby Pickett was doing a parody on Boris Karloff's distinctive voice.
Some of us are getting, old, y'know, and not all these references mean anything to everybody. Just like someone turning 18 has had George Bush as president for, like, forever...
But not much longer.
