I was raised in Signal Hill near Long Beach, California. My mom was a gifted pianist and used to sing that song to me and my sister when we would come home crying because other kids would make fun of us because we had red hair and freckles. It always made us cry. I am near 60 now. You can find the song, Stay in Your Own Backyard on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q042dC6Ns9U
