Back in the 70s we three kids gathered at parents place for Christmas; also present was Aunt & Uncle and four cousins of a similar age to us.

My brother, an inveterate larrikin, pulled us into the spare room where he had (I think it was bootleg) a copy of this song. We laughed till the tears ran down our legs and listened to it several times - until the parents knocked on the door wanting to know what was so funny.....

They insisted on hearing the song and the rest is history.
