That's pretty close to not counting....

OK. Remember Pepino the Italian Mouse? Dumb novelty song from the early 60s. Was number one for a couple of weeks which speak volumes about music at that point. The guy that did it was Lou Monte who was kind of like in the junior Rat Pack. They weren't any younger than Sinatra and the crowd - more like the AA team instead of the majors.

Anyway, Lou lived in the next town over for us and for quite a while would come over along with several other guys once a week to play poker with my dad. Once Pepino hit he got too busy for which dad never forgave him.... somewhere i have an autographed copy of the record...
