[78-L] Raunchy old Kay Starr 78

[Bud Black]

Ever listen to the lyrics to "My Wild Irish Rose?" 

"....and some day for my sake
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish rose."

It sounds to me like someone wanted to de-flower that little colleen!

What a great tune "He's So Unusual" is.  It's one of the few Helen Kane
releases I haven't heard
but I know the version by Vaughn DeLeath.
 
Though, to the modern ear it's pretty obvious what the problem is...
