I love this site! Nowhere else on the web can a simple question generate so much complex response - akin to asking the time and being instructed on how to build a watch. The process produces so many interesting, if sometimes loosely related, comments and factoids that the whole becomes much grander than the sum of its musical parts.

That said, I heard this song performed by that noted Russian group, The Mickey Finn Show (Fred Finn, et al)back in the late 1960's utilizing the talents of tuba, trombone, clarinet, banjo, drums and rinky-tink piano. It translates well anyhow.
