    Nice to see he lived to see Double Dutch become a high school sport in New York.

    This song was in such high rotation on KFRC in San Francisco (Top 40 station) back in the day that I'm shocked it only peaked at #30.

    Thanks for tracking down the origins of this linguistic buzzleshizz.

    Oh also, a propos of this discussion, I submit and oldie but goodie link: Gizoogle! I love this site.

    Put a CNN story through that thing and it makes a lot more sense.

    You forgot to include that due to the sleaze factor of the record business and because he was on a local label run by a crook, Frankie hardly saw a dime for a song that was on the charts for a good part of 1980 and had to sue to get what he did...
