They were way too square. My sisters and I were conceived through immaculate conception, I think.

I try NOT to think about it!

MIGHT have been "I'll Be Seeing You" by Bing Crosby, pre-Dad leaving for WW II training.

my guess is something with a holiday theme - my old man loved Bing so I would guess White Christmas

We used to go up to Oconto county in the summer to my Dad's vacation home, (a trailer,) to fish and swim and such on the weekends.

And going up there and back, my Dad would tune in an AM station out of some town, that kept fading in and out.

So all the way up there and back we'd hear, "Oompa oompa....fsssst...oompa oompa...fssst..."
For 2 and a half to 3 hours, there and back to Howards Grove.

My parents were friends with him and he had just recorded his first album. He gave them a copy when they got back to the Bay Area from a 3 month vacation with my dad's family in Delaware in late 1956.

My mom used to say Johnny was "one of the sexiest men I ever knew and I can prove it.

I inherited that album along with my parent's record collection, it's in my basement studio.

hahahahaah!!!

OK the likely song was "Slow Poke" by Pee Wee King.

That's disturbing

I've never heard of it (born in 1952) and I'm NOT going to find it on You Tube so I can hear it.

Noooooooooooooo

None. My parents were the models for the Protestant couple in Monty Python's "Every Sperm is Sacred" sketch - they have five kids, and had sex five times.
