Actually, the above is a minute or so of session chatter. "I've got phlegm!"
Here's the actual song.
God, I love this record; Greil Marcus called the opening bit "teenage glossolalia," which pretty much nails it, and then it just keeps getting better.
In any case, as always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans its relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

I love Dion. Always have.
Pop stars you've had a crush on since, like, forever? :-)
Songs about confusion?
Songs by one-named performers?
Singers with gender ambiguous names?
Rockers who became folkies who became rockers?
Singers who covered Tom Waits?
FWIW: My first rock n roll concert was Frank Zappa with Dion opening. Cosmic Karma, baby.
Word Verification: Hootpron. Sounds like dirty comedy;>
Rare/odd mixes of well-known songs?
(since that seems to be your obsession lately)
Question songs.
Trey
Should I dare say it? Great Doo-Wop songs? Maybe? Done by cool white guys from the Bronx, or any other?
If you need any, I've got a ton.
A new idea, Steve's Doo-Wop Corner. I love Doo-Wop.
No, no, no, no and no.
Although somebody's close; too early for me to say just yet, though.
Nonsense syllables.
Tracks with studio comments or wackiness.
ROTP(lumber)
Songs with "why" in the title?
Still no....
I'm trying to think of a clue that wouldn't totally give it away in an instant....
Okay -- somebody guessed it, wrongly, last week.
So I ran with it...
:-)
Okay, so, unless I'm missing something, it's got to be songs by Italian-Americans.
What "AP" said last week:
um, songs about being truthful (that is, Frank)?
DING! DING! DING!
Close enough.
J.Loslo, your coveted PowerPop No-Prize is coming at you by planaria caravan as we speak.
