Janet Klein sings a wonderfully sadistic song called "In My Gasoline Automobile" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi21Sx6UBMw ). Two sites (one possibly quoting the other) state this song dates from 1904 and was recorded on an Edison cylinder, but the information is so sketchy I don't know how much credence to give it--cylinder afficionados delight in giving full particulars. Does anyone have any real information regarding who wrote the song and when, or at least who first recorded it and when? I've emailed Janet for attribution information, but have not received a reply.

I won't post lyrics here unless and until it's proven the song is in the public domain.
