[78-L] Close the door, Richard

[David Lennick]

With its usual accuracy, WackyPackia credits Burl Ives with recording 
"Richard". Actually, he recorded a parody that was only 3 or 4 years too late, 
playing on another irritating pop song..it was called "Close The Door, Richard, 
I've Just Seen The Thing". And it's as awful as the title suggests.

Note that every bit of dialog quoted in the WonkyPukia article is from the 
Dusty Fletcher version.
