This "song" was actually first sung in our living room in Frankfurt,
Germany
in about 1957 or so, by a bunch of drunken, American G.I.s who always
seemed
to hang around our house back then on the weekends. I forget, now, just
who
made it up. Nick Clooney-- father of actor George-- was among them.
He was then an American soldier working at AFN Radio, where my father was
the program director. Nick was in Special Services-- along with a bunch of
other misfit, show-biz types who had too much talent to suit them well for
regular, Army-type stuff, but kinda lacked the discipline or temperament
needed to be spit-and-polish soldiers.
Gary Crosby, one of Bing's sons, was another one of these "uncles" of
mine.
It was a strange environment. No wonder I turned out the way I have...
