I knew that song because my third grade music teacher used to play those
albums sometimes. Tom Glazer is a favorite of elementary school music
teachers everywhere. You have no idea how many times I was forced to sing
along with "On Top of Spaghetti."
Nope, the Box Tops record was really my first album. It got much less cool
immediately after, though: I'm pretty sure my second purchase was George
Harrison's DARK HORSE, and I know that my second 45 purchase (after the
Apple reissue of "And I Love Her"/"If I Fell" was "Love Will Keep Us
Together." (Bite me, I like that song.)
