Not that Frank Perry!
 |
I bought this thinking it was our Frank Perry; turns out it wasn't. But it WAS wacky enough to share with you. I always say there are not enough songs in pig latin!
<-- gina lollobrigida, and debbie reynolds too...)
Here's the b-side.
As you can hear, it may not be song-poem Frank (or even a song-poem at all!), but kinda fits in stylistically with our thing, not unlike Cal Andrews' "O Sing To Me" which circulated among S.P. collectors (and which I believe you can find on Bob's blog). (oh what the hell, here's my copy) Maybe because I bought this single thinking it was Film City Frank, and then ended up digitizing it with a batch of Tin Pan Alley and Globe-affilaited 45s, it's almost been like an "honorary song-poem" for me over the years.
On the other hand, I wouldn't want you to spend your money on a record you THOUGHT was a song-poem and turned out wasn't! So I almost put this in the "Don't Waste Your Money" category, even though I enjoy it as a listening experience (in fact, I probably enjoy it more than most Frank Perry song-poem records!)
A quick search yielded this page about Sure Records, although it does not mention this release.
...so maybe you feel like today's post is a gyp, as fun as the above record is, so here's a song-poem for ya....😉

"I just found out....you're not my type!"
 |
| The most brutal litany of relationship grievances heard in a song-poem since "You Insulted Me"! |
(wasn't that cathartic?!!!)
 |
| Of the many poignant song-poems about missing deceased loved ones, this may be the only one written from the perspective of an airplane pilot. |
(eskelin does a nice job on these two as well...or should I say as usual!😉)
