I think you will find it was covered by 10 or more artists. What was cool about hearing it by the orignial artist was a) it had this funky 1960 sound and b)I had never heard the original artist sing it before. I researched him and he wrote a lot of songs for numerous artists.

 

After Riggs gets shot in the cargo hold of the ship.

 

How about this one:

"Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over"

 

Mr. Sandman!



Got anything a little harder?

 

"Hamburger cup of coffee lettuce and tomato
two times a dime to see a man kiss the alligater
one more time around free on the ferris wheel ride"

And DON'T look it up on the Internet!!! Tell me if you know the song off the top of your head.

 

My Uncle used to love me but she died - Roger Miller - I got the LP album LOL

 

THAT IS CORRECT!!!

Ok...try this one:

"We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But youre as cold as yesterdays mashed potatoes"

 

Making me show my age ya know - A fine romance

 

You are correct again!!! Excellent!!!

Here's another one:

"I got holes in my pockets mamma
great big patches on my pants
Well I'm behind on my house rent
still they want it in advance"

 

Did I stump everyone???
