I think the honors for the most annoying all time hit has to go to either The Little Drummer Boy or the barking dog version of Jingle Bells, both songs that once you get into your head, you can't get out.

Ahh...I bow to your superior knowledge of dead crooners. There's more info on Mr. C here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Como I also remember Perry well, especially that dreadful Catch a Falling Star that was his biggest hit. It's gotta be right up there with How Much Is That Doggie in the Window as one of the more annoying hits of all time (along with the Chipmunk Song). Years later SCTV did a great sendup of him, with a cardigan-clad Eugene Levy playing Perry so laid- back that he sang while lying on the floor!

He had a "request" segment on his TV show and the Melotones-like group would start it each week with the refrain "Sing to me, Mr. C, sing to me." FRANC P.S. I'm not as old (or as cranky) as John McCain, but I did watch this show when I was five. -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Rosen Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 6:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Who is Mr.C ???
