[78-L] What is a...?

[David Lennick]

Jan Peerce also did "What is a Boy"/"What is a Girl".

Homer and Jethro followed Steverino up with "This is a Wife?".

And there's a Mercury 45 by 6 Chicago announcers (I'd have to find it) called 
"What is a DJ".

And there's always Cole Porter's "What is This Thing Called, Love?"
