[78-L] the song title switcheroo

[Taylor Bowie]

And who could ever forget the seductive and romantic tones of Frank 
Bessinger singing on the Goldkette of  "I'd Rather Be The Girl In Your 
Arms"???

I may have mentioned it before,  but none of them can top the Perfect studio 
band recording (can't recall the name they use) with Scrappy Lambert mooing 
all about what he finds "In My Little Hope Chest."

It would be easy to let one's imagination run wild picturing what Scrappy 
might have been doing with a pair of "feathered slippers"  and the 
"daintiest of lingerie."
