OK, There Was a Bent Fabric
I had to look up Bent Fabric, you remember, the guy who brought us "Alley Cat" which was Top Twenty fifty years ago.
Turns out, he didn't just use the name to be catchy, it was pretty close to his real name.
He was born in Denmark in 1924 and still living. His real name is Bent Fabricus-Bjerre.
The song went to #7 in the U.S. and its follow up was "Chicken Feed." He must have an animal thing, but I know that's what I got paid to teach when I started.
Of interest, if you're in Mexico, you're likely to hear both songs a lot as that is what they play on those ice cream trucks.
