All right, I won't, but here's something interesting: the
not-always-reliable All-Music Guide shows the writer of the Pebbles/Bam-Bam
"hit" (geez, was it really like an actual, charting hit?) as Hamblen, no
first name, and sure enough, the great Stuart Hamblen has a song registered
with ASCAP by that title. Is this for real, or did the AMG get it wrong,
and yet another writer is responsible for the cartoon song? If it's really
Stuart Hamblen, I might like to hear that.
